@DontLoseSighOtIf : well, i guess that's because watching a replay do not tell you what is going through a player's head, you can try to understand what he's doing but it's impossible to have every "data" he does have/use to make some decisions, while VOD's allows to explain everything edit : dont forget to check the poll last page | ||

Re Lyyna and your accent: Remember the more often that someone hear's an accent the more they get used to it. I also think (as a proper arrogant american) that you will reach a larger overall audience by doing the main commentary in English since most people speak English as a second language at this point. I also think that subtitles would distract me from paying attention on the game. Now to post a question about Ghostless Mech that was mentioned a few pages ago. Does the ghostless mech only really apply for that 150-160 supply push? Because when I reach the late game situations going ghostless with mech I just watch feedback and storm tear apart my armies. Furthermore if I do end up getting ghosts but getting a relatively low number (2-3), if I can't get into a position to get a nice emp off when I'm pushing up offensively should I just EMP my thors/bcs at that point? I realize that normally the answer is no, but I'm questioning if eating the storm late game on a bunch of BCs/tanks and a few Thors is better than eating all the feedbacks on such high energy units. I just seem to have problems getting ghosts into position to snipe or emp HTs and making sure they land before my ghosts die. | ||

I'll (re)record the first VOD tonight and try to upload it tomorrow guys ! About ghostless : i try to add ghosts as late as possible. Basically its totally ok to go ghostless even in lategame (you can see it occur in some of crocodile's replays some pages ago ,and in some of mine as well) but ofc its better to add them when you see your opponent is starting to mass HT .But its ok even without that( in the last replay pack you can see a ghostless army handling a huge army of nearly pure archon/HT, and in the replay ill cast, youll see that you can still trade well even when getting storm-carpet'd. And in fact adding ghosts do not mean there will be no storm, imo ghosts are here more for their ability to do "instant damage" to your whole opponent army in a few spells. Personnally i never EMP my own units. I prefer to get all my BC feedback'ed , sitting there with half life but never dying due to repair/PDD/etc, rather than 10 storms,each eating 2 BC, 2 Ravens and 1 thor due to the fact your air will be above your mech and will makes storms insanely effective | ||

Looking forward to more streaming/VODs/replays/content/text ^^ Wait! MKP used mech again? was it that 3-4 factory push with marine tank hellion? If so, hurray. I would like as many replays/VODs of that to study as possible xD dang a week longer?  at least we'll get it thoughQuestion, i searched MKP mech and i could not find anything after 5 mins in the spring arena threads -.-; no one's talking about it??? Edit: Oh, nvm found the comments :D. Darn as I suspected, he did it in a game that "didn't matter". But still cool to see. Apparently he went double reactor BFH? and he did this at last MLG vs whitera too? time to check it out :D | ||

Not really focused on commentary for this one, here more to allows me to check technical stuff (for example i know now that uploading on youtube fails every time i try it T_T And thats why ill go on dailymotion). Ill try to do the next VOD today or tomorrow, with -Better quality -Better commentary (wasnt really focused on it for this one) Ill try to save my loss now if i get some interesting ones. But most of my loss versus protoss are basically badly scouted allins | ||

2. You moved out at a random time, lost some units to colossi, and then backed up. This put you a bit behind. 3. You sieged up all your tanks outside of your bunkers at your natural so when the Protoss attacked, the first thing he could do was take out your tanks. Honestly, aside from everything else that went wrong in this game, you would have been fine if you just positioned your tanks better when he attacked and it would have been even better for you if you had been producing vikings from your starport. Keep your tanks behind something in your base, which is hard on Metalopolis I'll admit. | ||

I find that MMM into MMM/BC so much stronger, nothing that the Protoss builds can just a-move over your army. | ||

Mieke: there are plenty of replays in this thread of people defending various sorts of mobility-based protoss play. Warp prisms+dts+blink stalkers are not cost effective enough if you defend well. Hellions, vikings, planetaries, and sensor towers are really good at dealing with warp prisms and dt/chargelot, and while blink stalkers are tough, they're so expensive and to do any significant damage with them you have to commit very hard to a unit that is REALLY bad vs siege tanks in a straight up fight. | ||

@Rizla : 12 min : you end up with a lots of minerals because you got no reactor on factories. You NEED these reactors critically (basically 3 TL fact, 1 react if ghostmech, 3 TL 2 react if ghostless if double up), hellions are really important! Especially because you cant get thors on 5 TL fact out of 2 bases. . . and youre also going double upp and ghosts and starport. Too much on 2 bases ! 15 min : Idle armories for a long time 18 30 : You dont have any map presence. You never had some. You need to be active on his side of the map with hellions/banshees, and you need to have sensor towers in your base. Youre moving all your army to deflect harass and thats really dangerous without vision on his army ! 19 min 30 : the fight went well for you , but having vikings instead of banshees makes it harder to deal a lot of damage and hold his reprod The overall game is good, but you need to work on map control. Agressive, with hellions and banshees,defensive with sensor towers. This allows you to avoid some big mech problems, mainly getting caught by surprise unsieged, spotting counter attacks, and harass. Also i dont like your focus on vikings, banshees are better with mech imo @MockHamill : you are the exact kind of people i'm often mocking due to their funny vision of mech. The kind of people who thinks mech is getting tanks, hellions,and randomly A moving / sieging in the middle of the map. Read my guide again please. Is it about tank/hellions? Oh wait . . it is about TankThorHellionBanshee(Ghost) Into (Ghost)BCRavenThorTankHellion. Far from "tank/hellion" , right? I'll basically assume your post is a bad troll @mieke : i talked about it every 5 pages of the thread, search a bit for complete answer (or wait tomorrow, ill add it in the guide in the questions section), but basically, sensor towers, "pokes" with your fast units, and abuse of macro orbitals/ mass scan. General : Too tired for 2nd VOD tonight, will do it tomorrow. Also, 3rd one will probably be about TvZ. Next replays pack is going to be delayed a lot, as im not really playing these days (little lack of motivation due to the fact i missed GM . . TT) | ||
