Whenever i go Mech i use the "Gretorp upgrades" since the ebay isnt really used for anything else. In a regular game the ebay is constantly used to upgrade weapons and armor for the infantry thus there's no time.

I have never seen any pro player get the bunker upgrade.

For the sake of information, note that the +1 range upgrade for a turret increases its area covered by about 30%.

I don't get those upgrade in TvZ because my resources are better allocated in marine/tank/medivac and attack/armor upgrades for a strong timing push. Since these "Gretorp upgrades" take time to research it's pointless to invest in early game as you never know if zerg is going mutas or not. Attack/armor upgrades are crucial for marines so if I wanted these extra upgrades I would have to have like 3 eBays, which is a lot of money for investing in defense that you don't need to win the game. By investing in these upgrades you are declaring you want to play defensively and that's not a good way to fight zerg because then they will just outexpo you and take total map control.

It's also worth noting that when using standard, 7 range turrets, to support each other against mutas they need to be within a little less than 4 of each other. With the upgraded 8 range turrets, you can space them a full unit further apart an they will still be able to support each other against mutas.
When you stare into the iCCup, the iCCup stares back.

Now I feel super nostalgic and will search for old matches of MLG, NASL, Dreamhack, and GSL on youtube

I love whatever weird advertising algorithm that decided the folks who love hi-sec auto tracking were their demographic

This is why I post in this thread: I remember NASL. Gretorp cast a ton of games. If I would ever meet him, I would like to thank him.

This must be the start of a viral campaign to bring back Neosteel Frames. I for one am in support.

First of all, the consensus is more like: Get one of those. Two are often an overkilled and for a special strategy, would be boring if everyone got those right? While one of these really help vs any kind of harrasses.


To add,my preference at least the armor upgrade to your buildings is so useful ,
- as mech
- vs zerg

useful yes, but not modern: Locusts, banelings are the main damage dealers nowadays, so you rather have a few widow mines more I'd say.

Pro Players have to use every ressource efficiently. Just play terran yourself, and you will find yourself using gas otherwise in most situations, not saying it's not good to get those.

Agreed
It sounds so little 100/100 for something useful I lived with this attitude too, but ingame you will just see...
Nonetheless, my highest guess afterall is still, they simply forget about getting it, BECAUSE >50% of thet time it*s not efficient!

Haha many fans indeed.
