Great article!
Can you please write something like this for TvZ and may be TvT [image loading]

Don't know how to handle ultra+viper with pure mech. I win only against impatient zergs who attack heavily fortified positions or choke points. And if zerg counterattack or using drops it's very easy to catch t unsiedged or clamped, and easy to kill for zerg with vipers.[image loading]

I saw your old replays but may be you are using some new strats?

It's possible that I will in the future, at the moment I'm occupied with trying to improve my stream first.

Thanks for this guide! I enjoy your stream quite a bit. I much rather see you play than to see people like DeMuslim, who just tries to play Wol in Hots.

Hard to donate so much time to a hobby ^^ I need to win tournaments or something to be able to really donate more time into starcraft. I have my wife and kids to think about. <3

I really don't understand why blizzard is promoting this type of deathball mech play and ignoring the siege tank.

This style is boring (positionning widow mines is fun though, but 1a hellbats/thors isn't really exciting and entertaining to watch).

I wish they would buff the siege tank damage output and nerf the hellbat's damage so that meching was all about the positionning again.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback Mario!
Another clue to my existence.

Thanks for the read. So sad that viable mech does not include siege tank as a core unit. It appears many higher level players almost exclusively use thors as their main composition, since they do exceptional damage (which tanks lack) and deal with smaller numbers of stargate units with reasonable efficiency.

It's not mech unless tanks are the core unit. Sadly this is impossible with 3 supply and poor DPS.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

As long as I'm not forced to research stim in TvP, I'll just shut up.

Well... I suppose you can see things like that Everlong, but still... Hellbat/Thor is a poor design...

Anyway, yeah, thanks for the effort Mario.

I was watching your past vids and saw a Hellbat/Tank/Viking army being used in TvP.
Was in the first game of your game from yesterday.

Willing to give a try to a non thor based army ? (couldn't watch more than this, so i don't know if you tried again...)

I'm currently working on a more brood war like style with more tanks. It will take time to work out the kinks though.
