As for the 1/1/1 tank push, the bunker is vital. Bunkers give marines enough range to kill banshees. Filter, could you elaborate on this point? do you mean you build bunkers near mineral lines or just that if the banshee joins the attack up front the bunkered marines can return fire so the banshee doesn't get free hits? | ||

I think he might mean that if marines range is inferior to banshees then banshee can effectively kite marines into tank fire without taking damage. Not sure though, seems logical. | ||

That said I do have to cut corners. My macro AND micro isn't good enough to get 112-117 at 10 and 52 scvs like i see in your vids, and sometimes i'm very late against colossi with them popping up in time so i have to micro a bit and make vikings. No biggie though right? Attack moving and winning is a sign of good macro right? Should I just A move my way out of bronze ? I feel I need to micro and stim. Quick question though: is it a good idea to have at least 1 scv on the bunker? I'm asking because sometimes they come in at 7 or 8:00 focus fire my bunker and totally bust my butt. I can get to 100 food and 49-51 scvs at 10. I feel I'm on my way out from bronze. Thanks a lot filter. I'm mostly happy at my BMPG (Bad manners per game) rate most of all. | ||

I ended up pushing out with marine/marauder prior to medivacs and killed the third. I am not sure how reliably that plan will work but my guess at the time was that with such a fast third, pushing earlier (before the extra production from the third hatch kicks in, and assuming he was probably droning pretty hard) was very likely to do damage, but the normal timing might be a little late and I'd end up behind both economically and in tech It worked in that game at least. | ||

I love the way you filter out the noise and focus on the most essential information, it's really quite amazing. And so effective, my last game was against a high diamond, I'm in gold and I won, what's next, masters?  | ||

Come back to the thread today and find out Filter is going to do one for zerg..."oh yeah!!!". Get to page 20 and see that it has already been done..."holy smokes!". Some I'm only a couple minutes into it right now but just had to come in to say 'Thanks!!!!" Now back to the episode 1... | ||

No biggie though right? Attack moving and winning is a sign of good macro right? Should I just A move my way out of bronze ? I feel I need to micro and stim. If you feel you need to micro and stim, then do it. Of course that is very viable. The "don't micro at all" stuff should not be interpreted as a law in this style of play. It is meant to ensure that you put enough effort in your macro! If you are able to macro while stimming / microing, you're on the way to becoming even better, as that is the ultimate goal. Quick question though: is it a good idea to have at least 1 scv on the bunker? I'm asking because sometimes they come in at 7 or 8:00 focus fire my bunker and totally bust my butt. How far have you watched the video series? Try to watch the minimap every few seconds. As soon as you see enemy dots advancing towards your base, it is very viable to pull some SCVs from your mineral line. I'd suggest more than one, because the more SCVs repair at the same time, the longer it takes for your foe to take down the bunker. Basically: Do not have an idle SCV sit behind your bunker the whole game. When you see an attack, quickly move some over to repair. After repelling the attack, move them back to your minerals. This takes a few tries to get used to and be quick enough, but you'll see it works eventually. | ||

Thank u very much for everything u do for us to help us... All questions doesn't need to go into this thread. This is something that, with replays, should go into either the Terran help me, Simple questions, or a dedicated [H] thread. That doesn't just go for this question, but I feel it goes for most "Hey Filter, how do I defend this/when I push this happens" questions... The reason I say this is because I feel this thread should be for stuff that is actually about the guide, so we can see when there are updates, ask questions about the actual episodes, and so on, and right now this is just spammed away. | ||

Haha at first I suspected your 121 posts to be only in this thread, but after reading this I can safely assume you are Filter's personal assitant  haha gj for your dedication TheExodus I like it  Will try to contribute more to this thread myself after seeing this. | ||

You know I actually don't mind that much, the thread doesn't move blazing fast and discussion is always a good thing, plus there's a lot of great help here. The vast majority of the help in this thread is based around the ideas of macro and hitting certain marks, instead of being overwhelmed with the 50 things somebody did wrong there's a clear direction for improvement. On a side note Diablo 3's rocky launch absolutely raped me, the one day it was freely available to play my buddies and I ran through nightmare start to finish Back to creating the content today though, I need to get another map video done, add the third Zerg video and I really want to take a look at the engagements. Expect to see lots of updates tomorrow on the channel, plus I plan on announcing a couple of new series going forward that should be really good. | ||
