I've recently been struggling against protoss during my initial 10 min pushes. My MMR has recently risen and the tosses I face now can handle my early aggression. I was wondering what I could do to ensure I am still doing damage to toss in the mid game so they can't get their beloved late game unit composition. I will be providing a link to the replay below and everyone tear this replay to pieces please : ) replay-------------> http://drop.sc/304722 | ||

Thus, does anyone have any advice beyond what I'm currently doing. As of now I'm having some success if I scout that its roach drop for sure. I do the following upon scouting it: I produce viking off of my TL starport and throw down turrets on drop paths (approx. 4-5 per zone of three) and I try to leave only 3-4 siege tanks sieged. The rest are just there waiting to recieve the roaches as they drop. I also like to go double reactor hellion when I ahve 5-6 fax and I feel like that helps to buffer. (I feel like I should also be pulling SCVs but I always forget+__+ Thanks for any help... | ||

None for ghost-specific micro, but Dargleins multitasking trainer has an option which allows you to practice ghost micro by sniping/emp-ing HT before they come in range of your army, and battle micro in an engagement. | ||

I will be providing a link to the replay below and everyone tear this replay to pieces please : ) replay-------------> http://drop.sc/304722 Sorry to be blunt, but your build order is horrible. You virtually never need Bunker before second Depot, and your gas timing with +4 rax afterwards makes no sense. Play the regular 1 rax FE → 3 rax Medivacs instead i. e. rax CC depot bunker rax rax gas gas etc. What happens in the game is actually irrelevant since you don't have Medivacs before years, so naturally you can't do anything if your opponent is competent. On February 15 2013 12:55 dynwar7 wrote: What is the best way to improve Ghost micro? Watch top Terran replays/VODs (preferably replays since you have access to the precious first point of view) and try to emulate in practice. For recent replays, perhaps Dream vs PartinG, Entombed Valley and Daybreak, IEM Katowice have some interesting things to examine/study; maybe Lucifron vs PartinG, Daybreak, IEM Katowice too.

His scouting SCV saw no gas, so just build on natural. Make a Reactor on Barracks with the 50 gas following the Factory, the Factory will make its own Tech Lab if necessary. Don't scan at 5'10, it kills your economy. EB/Turret too early; Banshee is out at 6'30, so you don't need to start your Turret at 6'08. If you want to go mech, prefer Hellions/Vikings first (generally with a Raven afterwards) instead of Tanks; early Tanks are generally horrible for mech (unless they're really forced, say by something like proxy Tanks), because they make you passive and delay your infrastructure/upgrades. With Hellions you go take his Tower and hit & run when he moves out, then when he reaches your natural you can pull SCVs if necessary to comfortably massacre his weakeaned Marines/Tanks force before he sieges. If you stick to the Tanks option to defend his push, then be sure to continuously build Marines from the Reactor Barracks and Vikings from your Starport, this way you will be able to prevent him from containing you since you can meet him in front of your base with Marines/Tanks/Vikings and win the fight. After that, you add a third, extra Factories and one or two Armories.

Then he kill me with his eco advantage (4th running for him) even if i managed to land my 3rd. I can't even drop because he have a ton of gate ways . Post a replay if you have; your build order is probably responsible for your problems as dual EB + late Medivacs make you passive, but it sounds like your Medivacs are too late even with your build order. Watch MMA vs Brave, Abyssal City, IPTL Acer vs NSH to nail down the timings when going double expand and dual ups.

Vikings are wasted resources as you will never have enough of them (8) in time to one-shot Overlords, and you don't know which ones are full and which ones are empty anyway, so make Banshees instead. Keep your army in a tight formation, Tanks unsieged, and pull 20+ SCVs if necessary to absorb shots. Having one Reactor and 4 Labs is better than 2R + 3L by the way; you want to reach the critical Tank mass as soon as possible so you just kill Roaches as they come down from the Overlords. Be sure that your macro was correct: late extra Factories, late gases, supply blocks and/or missing Tank cycles means auto-loss vs Roaches drops.

You can try the TvP match-up in Darglein's Micro Trainer, but honestly it won't help much; I doubt there is something coming close to practicing in real games.

From memory, 3 for Cannons and 5-6 for Pylons assuming you pull SCVs immediately after he starts warping them.

What do you refer to? In which games did you see the build? I saw Flash doing several All-Ins from 3 Base e.g. vs. Life @mlg. He goes for 3 Bases and cut his upgrades after 2/2. On the first map, it was too messy to figure out a build order and the second map was way to greedy  So I search a safety way to go for that 2/2 Push from 3 Bases | ||

I assume that one's here: In general I don't know any central, totally up to date source for all of these VODs, so you may have to look around in general. But if you know which tournament it's from, you know where to look and what to search. | ||
