I play on europe a lot and I have a 60% win loss, I peaked at top 25 gm when I was playing NA actively. This isn't an advertisement on a car sale. If you don't want to mech, don't. This is what works for me at grandmaster and will benefit most of the north america / europe population who want to mech at their level.


Sorry if I came across as trolling, this wasn't my intention, I'm simply trying to figure something out and, sadly, it's hard to convey tone through text. If you leave the fun/interest out of the equation, do you believe that mech is a superior (more sure/efficient) play style than bio? And on another note, is your choice to play mech purely motivated by the attraction you have toward that style of play/fun you have doing it, leaving the potential performance-wise aside?


I believe that in time mech will become even with bio, I do think that it has top play potential. My motivation to play mech is motivated by how much i dislike bio and enjoy mech.

Just finished watching the video. Thanks for the guide Mario I enjoyed it and good some good points out of it. I've been playing MMMM with success so I haven't had the desire to switch but this guide certainly gives me motivation to give mech a go.

I'd like to give my feedback to help you improve your guides in the future.

I think instead of producing a video 1hr 17 minutes long it could be a good idea to break up the guide into sections and create separate videos. Think of the most important things new meching players need to learn and break it up into 3-5 sections. For example: build order, positioning, unit composition, engagements, etc. This would help players that need specific advice in 1 area and would be able to get to that information quickly without having to watch the whole video. Also could help people that want to go back of your content and get to a specific area of the guide without having to remember at what point in the video it was explained. Also keep in mind that humans have a very low attention spam and can rarely sit and watch the same thing for over an hour lol!

Also (correct me if I am wrong) I got the feeling that during the guide you weren't 100% clear on who your target audience was. Was the guide for lower bronze-plat level? Was it for diamond+? During some points of the video you went over some very basic points that would have been helpful for lower levels but as a Diamond player I found them useless, finding myself wanting to skip. To help ensure that the viewer of your videos (or any other piece of content) its important to initially define who your audience is and build your content with that audience in mind. Perhaps you could create seperate videos for different levels of play so the person watching the video gets information specifically catered to their needs.

The only other thing I can think of is I didn't feel scouting was addressed much in this guide. As mech requires a long time to produce and becauuse you reccomend several different unit compositions for different situations I think that scouting would be one of the most important aspects of mastering this style. I did notice you talked about adding additional CCs and using them for scans but I would have like to have seen it go into more detail on specific timings of when to scout for different strategies and how to pick up on tells that Z is going for a specific unit composition.

Thanks again Mario and keep up the Terran guides. This community needs them!

Hi.
Thank you so much for this guide! I have only watched the start as of writing this but I am really excited. Mech is so much fun anda has really renewed my interest in playing Starcraft 2. The "safe build" that you show in the video seems a bit complicated though and I will probably stick to some of your older builds.

You are my SC2 hero.
