I went up against a Zerg that went Ling/Baneling/Muta and although I managed to win the game (helps to be on 5 base vs 3 base and having 3/3 upgrades :D) I lost a lot of marines off creep to rolling Banelings. In closer games/engagements that could've lost me the game. I usually put the whole army on 1, the marines on 2 and the tanks on 3. I've been trying to hit 2, stim the Marines, run them back and get the Tanks to shift focus-fire on the Banelings but this turns out to be a lot harder than it looks even. Ofcourse sometimes I hit 2 instead of 3 when right clicking on the Banelings with painfully hilarious results. Anything you know about positioning, movement or controls that might help with this? I can provide the replay if that helps. | ||

That method should work fine just practice, try and scan before attacking in to Z or them attacking in to you as well. | ||

I remember from my zerg days (playing at a decent level), that I found it a real pita to deal with, since you can't really scout the 1 gas and have to assume cloak. | ||

Instead of taking a fast third, they can just place a macro htach before the third, no harm done | ||

Of course you can get thors to stop the ensuing mutas but then you're going to be forced to 2 base for a long time. You could even spread creep and just get queens there. | ||

It does not cover the correct approach vs the 1 base bane/1 base roach...I die to the 1 base roach when it happens qq it is so annoying. Should have seen it coming....but somehow i always fail to get enough defense... Reactor hellion opening, delay 2nd cc for bunker + marauder, pull scvs in time. | ||

Obviously the auto win siege timing on close positions doesnt work anymore [lol] but i have been learning to offrace terran as a masters zerg and this guide is always my go to. its really good unless you are trying to hit a specific build for your style that is not listed. Other wise macro and following his advice will get very well suited. TLDR: If you need a tvz guide that is this general/overarching then yes it is still valid So many terrans dont know about tanks on a hotkey and target fireing banes even in diamond. so many diamond terrans dont split well and if can do the 2 of those + macro you are set. As he says if you can target fire splitting is less important and below masters you can do whatever you want if you can macro VERY well so defenitley look at it. | ||

Doesnt matter how well you can macro, you will never win against a zerg if you only a move unless you play mech. | ||

When did i say dont micro? is target fireing banes with tanks not micro? did i say not to split? am i giving advice to gms with my statement? i NEVER said a move... target fire banes and splitting + macroing well is somehow improper advice sub masters then idk. and to my point. what is easier for a sub master or sub diamond player, Splitting vs 10 clumped banelings or shift right clicking them with tanks and watching them evaporate with no need to split? you tell me | ||

So just go reactor hellion. Everything else is relevant to the current patch. | ||
