BCs are good versus everything but tempests, which are countereted by pdd, and yamato + emp instantly kills a tempest edit : btw, some replays totally randoms games on the beta, i saved mb 10% of my games there, they aren't high lvl games with definitive builds or anything, but well, some people are asking me to release these so.. http://www.mediafire.com/?x3c9cpwcz9y2muq | ||

I just got my pre purchase done. I want to start straight with mech play. Do you have any good openers vs Zerg in general? | ||

Is it common to do the hellbat drops after expansion? I barely ever played 1 base in WoL - at least in master league. However I am completely new to HotS. Is it still very common for 2 base early? | ||

I see people want this possition tank-based play, I want it too, but that is hard in SC2 and chances are low it's going to change. Still people are doing it and I see them winning.. edit: http://cs.twitch.tv/beastyqt/b/361902299 watch this from 3:45, tanks everywhere, BCs, nukes, Tempests, all this shit.. I know this map is mech friendly, but come on... That game really close... Really close. | ||

I've also put together this replay pack (http://ge.tt/5bGqDgY) of some games I played going Mech in all matchups. While I am definitely not anywhere near pro level, I think that my builds are going in the right direction for solid Mech macro play (ie not relying on gimmicky mine drops, etc.). | ||

On the bigger maps I actually find zerg much easier to deal with, but stuff like Cloud Kingdom and Daybreak feel really hard to survive the relentless assaults of the ultras and broodlords. Star Station depending on spawn positions seems completely the opposite as if they go broodlords they're so slow I get map dominance and Ultras on that map take a while to actually get into your base. | ||

I'll have nearly maxed ups against his low ups on whatever he makes either broodlord/corrupter or pure ultra and I still straight up go and die and I'm so confused as to what on earth I'm supposed to do.

Sounds like you are having problems dealing with the Zerg's transition? | ||

It's the bit after when he keeps throwing units upon units at me and I just can't produce fast enough off of 3/4 bases depending on how badly it's been going to counter the constant switching. That and when they get an obscene amount of corrupters I find it really hard to even get enough vikings to dent the ball. I should probably start looking into just getting ravens for HSM much quicker. | ||

I position the widow mines right in front of the tanks. The widow mines stop charglots immortals and archons while the tanks blast whatever tries to shoot the widow mines. I add lots of vikings if they air transition. Is this a gimmick that the protosses just don't know how to deal with or have other players been having the same success? | ||
