my 10 minute a-move push as toss, through bronze, won every game.
in silver, it didnt usually win the game, but it would put me far enough ahead that I could then take my third and crush.
in gold, it still seems to do pretty well... though I'm having a lot of issues vs zerg atm. as soon as they scout my expo, they mass lings and roaches and just kill me while I'm still teching up lol.
works *fantastic* vs terran though.
The usual early push from the terran with 3 marauders and some marines, did that make a difference? While this beat me senseless before getting a grasp on my macro I can now kill it off fairly easy, but it still makes me wary of pushing out at 10 minutes, knowing the rate the terrans can replenish his forces...
Could be that fear makes me lose games; i'm always the pessimist when it comes to estimating my opponents forces. He can run up my ramp with 4 marauders and a marine, and I think it looks like 40 food... Same goes for what I think he has at 10 mins

Thank you Filter for that awesome Zerg vid, I'll be following that.

Did you end up with Archons or Imos?
Also against zerg, have you seen YufFE?

immortals - archons just kill my army comp because I'm so gas poor if I go for them. checking out that zerg build now.
I do have some replays, I will try to post them up tonight when I get home from work
what league would you guys like to see the reps vs? bronze? silver? or gold?
|
Mainly bronze, but a few of each?
|
sure thing!
the only issue I have run into vs T really has been early hellions. But thats because I tend to go super zealot heavy and delay stalkers a little bit too long 
I actually have some bronze/silver T replays here at work, so I might be able to get them up early.

I wish I had a job where I could play SC

haha well, we had an AHGL team, which I was the captain of. We also have the occasional in-house tournament. I also try to sneak in a game or two during lunch
As requested, here are some replays. I tried to cover a wide range. You will note that I screw up pretty badly on some of them. If you want any more, or are looking for how I do against specific things, let me know. my replays are horribly unorganized, so it may take me a while to find what you're asking for.

There should be plenty in his regular analyses, just stay away from newbie tuesday.

The zerg tutorial cannot be right, I gave it a shot against a very easy AI, and on my first try I hit 35 drones @6 min, 59 drones @8 min, I had my third @7 min, and I maxed out @13 min
I never played zerg, since the larva inject was way too confusing to me, so either these benchmarks are off, or the terran tutorial thought me some pretty solid macro :D
Anyways, keep up the good work
Edit: silver terran here, so nothing fancy pro skill going on

Haven't looked at the tutorial, but what happens if you get a visit from a zealot, 5-6 sentries and 3 stalkers in the middle of that?

^This.
Gold level Zerg here, I nailed the benchmarks first try vs. the computer - but as soon as I jumped on the ladder it all went to shit... need more practice!

Huh? Day9 does quite a bit of high-level analysis that certainly is useful for people in
leagues above gold.

Hello Filter!
Just saw and downloaded your replay pack from masters.I expected lot so,now i am lil bit disappointed.Its your TvT.I waited to see how is your BIO style working in Diamond and Master,but you open always with the Banshee one.And the game ends anyways with Marine,Tank,Medivac,Viking...I just hate it.Isnt there any other composition in TvT that works on that high level?The majority of T players on ladder,just leave the game or maki crazy cheese and 1 base all ins,because all of them say,they hate TvT.
U said: dont go Tanks if u dont see your oponent makes tanks,but i see that u too are making tanks befere them and u won a game on Daybreak that way.
So,really,isnt there any other BO or unit compo in TvT?
