You have enough resources to constantly produce carriers and 4gates worth of units, making for a scary-as-hell army by the time you recall into the opponent's main. It also looks like a fairly standard stargate-based pressure build if you manage to keep the fleet beacon hidden! Although, I do see that you've got a replay for a 2base rush in your opening post. I'll have to take a look at that before I actually talk about your build. I just wanted to mention MaNa's style! The 2 base isn't really refined at all, it was just something I tried one night. I'll definitely check out mana's style. Do you have a link to a VOD of him doing it on his stream or a replay? | ||

It works pretty well on platinum terrans too. I let them see startport so they make more marines than marauders. The timing of mothership mass recall is righ about they finish building 4-5 additional rax after expanding, so they have not enough units. | ||

The thing with most Zs is that at this time in the game, either they'll have overseers, which can be shot down in seconds, or spores.....probably in the back of their base by their mineral line. So this just auto-wins vs so many Z builds. Definitely going to try this in some team battles, lol. Imagine a nice 4 4 gate + mothership rush at 9 minutes hitting a team base, lol. | ||

Looking back at his stream-thread, he did it on August 8th if you wanna have a look yourself (no one replied to me asking for a link...) As far as I remember, he generally went: - Nexus first. - Forge, cannons. - 1gate, core (warpgates), stargate, void-ray pressure. - Fleet beacon, get 4gates. - Get mothership, carriers and a stalker-heavy army. - Send mothership to opponent's base, mass-recall into their main. - Win. He also did that without recall, just pushed and sniping detection on the way just killed the zerg directly. | ||
