lol I just 6 rax now.

These zergies have no idea how fucking hard a 6 rax +1 armor (two techlab and 4 reactors) hits at 10 minutes and I see them doing all kinds of weird shit to hold it off.

For the record, I bring about 10 scvs with me. I abuse hold position.

I have always bio only in tvz, in all matchups really, but im starting to love tanks...i feel its the terran's trademark unit. So, while bio only may be good, i think its slowly becoming not so viable in tvz....its just so satisfying to see those infestors being shot down by powerful tank rounds and seeing those banelings splash thanks to your tanks lol
Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

@ ETisME:

1) The Build works still fine no so no updates
2) New Replays may come in a few weeks, i had to take a break cause of university and now getting into sc2 again

@ 9-BiT:

It depends on your personal playstyle. I think that bf hellions can sometimes be worth it, especially vs a very ling focused player but they really cut into your early/midgame dps as marines do better there, especially before the bf is started. With the way the build works you could get bf after the medivacs and that may not be worth it. You can adjust to your personal prefrence there.

Thros on the other side are very expencive and after your bio gets cleaned up they are easily picked apart by zerglings.

I just uploaded a new Guide to how defend early zergling agression. Everyone who understands german should be very happy about it and all others could maybe learn something out of the video as well even if you do not understand what i am saying.



Hope you enjoy

I've been playing around with this build and it's unnaturally strong. It propelled me from mid gold to high platinum and now I'm facing diamonds every now and then.

Before this, I was basically losing EVERY TvZ in the lategame because I never knew how to apply pressure in the early and mid game.

I've usually do the 4 rax (with the 1 rax fe) opener to be aggressive in the tvz matchup that taeja popularized, which was of course marine focused, and the first movement was around 7.10-7.30ish. with medics coming in at 9.30. But this seems equally as interesting. Love the naked rax idea to wall off rather than depots. I'll be sure to try this soon.

do you actually go and attack with @ 70% Combat Shield, move out with Marines ?

or when the first attack happens? here? @ 2 Medivacs -> Push out and take Third

You move out when Combat Shield is Around 70% done, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less, depending on the walk-distance to yours oponnent third. Also you do not move out if there is no third in sight.

The Medivac Push is the second push and it is highly adviced to move out right when you start the medivacs so that you can join the army with the medivacs half way cross map and attack as early as possible with them. The early you get there the better off you are. That's why the crisp opening is so important cause if you are behind like 1-2 minutes with your medivacs and therefore the push you will straight up lose the engagement cause zergs production capacity is too high.

Ok thanks a lot for this... I'm only platinum as of now. But this build is freakin awesome... It simply kills the platinum and diamond zerg foolproof 5 matches.

I love how you've given all sorts of options in the mid and late game describing what one should do in case of baneling busts or 2 base roach all-ins.

Thanks again.

I have a question. If the CS timing does no damage except for killing lings then are you behind?
Thanks to those that support me. For those that don't like me, please PM me. I always wish to kiss ass.

It highly depends on how much lings you can kill!

If you get just surrounded by speedlings then you were just not careful enough, even though you should have had scouted a gas opening!

If you get sourrounded that way in the open you are most definitly a bit behind and you must be very careful with your medivacs cause they will be banelings ready waiting.

But normally you should be very careful when scouting gas opening and not getting crushed like that.

If you socut a gasless opening you have to improve your micro if you still trade badly vs slow lings cause they are no threat even with queen support or sth like that. You can also always retreat of creep away from queens etc. and kite the slowlings to death.

tl:tr
Be extra carefil vs gas openings and do not even move out if you do not scout a third by the time your cs is about 70% done. Vs gaseless opening you should be able to trade even if you stutterstep correctly.

just spread before..

do pre-splits, put marauders in front, and u're absolutely fine!!

If you have enough skill, after the pre-split, you can focus infestors with your marauders.. that's essential after a few battles, so the zerg player can't accumulate infestors... he will have to spend gas in new infestors the whole time.. so you will have bigger window before ultras/brood lords...

this

also a good trick is to poke with 5-6 units + a medivac at a time, stim them in and attack to bait fungals etc while splitting your army into smaller groups at the back. it's always better to lay out a concave and force him to attack into it than to stim your entire army offensively.

abuse hold position. if you can MAKE him attack into a field of splitted marines and marauders with vac support, his infestors will be useless, his lings will be greatly reduced in effectivity and his blings will have a much harder time getting good hits. also his ultras' splash will be diminished

If he gets BLs out, you need vikings to do this, or he'll poke you to death.
