Find us a Terran to write for us. =O Actually, we're working on that.


Could you get HTOMario? I know he isn't a native English speaker but that dude is amazing.

You hate playing starcraft because people make builds that react to the metagame? o_O.

You know this was a WoL build too right? It was good then, it's even better now. I don't see how this is a reaction to the metagame because it works vs standard 1rax FE into 3rax or 1rax widow mine expos.


TAiLS' build was tailored specifically to counteract this new modern standard Terran opening, focusing on the HotS changes and new units such as the mothership core and cheaper dark shrine.


The author is wrong about this. Alicia and TaiLs, and other protoss players already did a similar build in WoL vs completely standard 1rax expo into 3rax with great success too.

What do you normally do against a terran who opens reapers? The mscore itself can't prevent the reaper from scouting your base assuming the terran is at all careful- you can throw down the robo in plain sight of the reaper but not the twilight council since it'll be a dead give-away. (At high masters if its any help)

No, there were DT drops builds after FE in WoL, but none of them were nearly as effective as this one, hitting over a full minute later. HotS changes and the metagame definitely made this build possible.

i personally wasn't too impressed, it looks like a one-hit wonder to me that ryung actually botched the defense of anyway haha. nice writeup though!


At the least it's a hilarious gimmick build, it's also done well for me on ladder but I'm not even in masters so it probably doesn't count.


It's only gimmicky if you don't have the game knowledge to use it properly D:

Awesome write-up! I like this a lot. Now, if I only played protoss...may have to practice a bit before I try. Hehe.

Gosh, laddering today feels like every protoss going that build now. Failed twice against it, but ladder is too easy - new build up, go cheese.

Way too gimmicky in my opinion. The lack of probe scout and 0 units makes it for a ridiculously coin flip-y build. With some alterations it could become standard, but as is it's just a "try to take a free win if my opponent isn't ready for this" build that's good in a box, much the same way cheese is
