Hey thanks nice video! One question though, what made you build those spores? I didn't saw you scout his Starports... do you just build them blindly expecting Hellions/Banshees?
Tnx
sure thing. I'd say you can scout this, but personally I like to save my scout overlord for a little later. The current metagame has banshees after hellions so often that I think it's worth it to just grab 2-3 spores and be safe. It's not a huge investment and can save you a lot of hassle.
Apologies to all for no video today. I had 2 midterms, a presentation, and a 46 page project due. So I'm exhausted and sleeping now lol. I'll have a new one up tomorrow

Matchup: TvT My build: 1 rax fe into 3 rax into reactor medivacs His build: Cloak Banshee opening into marine,siegetank,banshee scv allin Maps: Like Shakuras Plateau where Banshee play is strong Comment: The problem with this allin is that the cloak banshees give him total mapcontrol, which makes it almost impossible to see his push comming and catch it right in the middle of the map. Another problem is that his banshees can bind some of your marines in your minerallines even if you make 1 turret at each base, which reduce the force you can throw at him when you finally see his marines, siegetanks and scvs comming. I never hold it once. Replay: TvT_Shakuras This is just a sample, since i don´t play very much i have very few replays of this allin, but it gives you a rough idea. The version where he pushes out a bit later with more stuff and all his scvs is a lot harder to defend then the version the player used aggainst me in this replay. He even ddin´t got the cloak upgrade, i think because i scanned his banshee build.
Hi. I just want to remind about my request a while ago. It still isn´t in the OP and i still would gladly have some advice on that.

Noted. I have been messing around with this one to really get something good.

Hmmm okay I'll take a look at it. If he isn't going for a 3rd base and you're working towards banshees, you definitely want to see what's going on and prepare to defend against some serious pressure.
Hello MrLlama. You should make a video about how to punish Nexus First in TvP. Seems like 3OC is really vulnerable against that and I'm pretty clueless to what is the best option for this

I more make videos right now for defending, not really punishing.
There's a TON of options against a nexus first. You could try a 4 rax all in which is pretty effective, but if you wish to macro instead I would recommend just cutting a few corners. get less marines early and instead grab faster additional rax and faster upgrades and stuff. You can also forego the bunker and there's just a lot of little corners that you can cut which still leave you able to defend any 2 base aggression.
Also, new video up after it being requested a lot.
