Avilo!, Get some of you're replays onto youtube casts >:S You definitely deserve more exposure as one of the few decent NA Terrans (that I know of)

Loved the guide.

Fun fact: 5 seeker missiles tracking your own medivac is cheaper and faster than launching a nuke, since the damage is from energy and you skip building ghost academies.

Main disadvantage is of course you can't damage buildings, which means spine/spore forest + Swarmhost/queen is bad news

hey avilo you tried ravens in lategame tvp yet. I remember seeing a post from dbs (good, but not very famous) terran player who said his tvp was by far his best matchup and he almost always went lategame incorporating ravens with bio. For such a lategame orientated player its definitely something worth experimenting with, I'm still trying mech so I can't test it myself but i watch your stream (well vods of....campus internet blocks so many ports) so would be cool to see it.


Ravens only are useful for PDD vs tempests, otherwise pretty pointless. Ghosts are much better.

Yeah. Feedback is just too dangerous for large raven armies to be useful vs Protoss. You'll never be able to EMP all the HTs, and if you miss even one HT it could potentially disable or destroy 2-4 ravens. Considering that HTs can be warped in from a warpgate and that ravens take a LONG time to build from a starport, it's just not worth it.

Also, with bio, ravens slow your army down, and are really easy for stalkers to catch and pick off.

Do you have the replay of that game? If you send it to djcb11hood@hotmail.com, Avilo will analyse it on Sunday. Just tune into www.twitch.tv/avilo.

If only mech could be the same way. The most gas intensive composition in the game.



Afaik VR/HT, BL/Winfestor, Pure Mass Muta, Skytoss and Skyterran are WAY more gasintensive.

like not even close.

Also for lategame MechvP and vZ Ravens are also a standard addition. Vs Broods and Tempests PDDs are defenitely necessary. vZ they are also required when Blinding Clouds go off on your Tanks vs Roach Hydra, to be able to secure your retreat with either pdds or hsm to force him to not follow you.

Ravens also add a free harassing capability to an otherwise very slow and static playstyle in mech.

Adding Ravens to bio really does seem like a no-brainer. Once you get your upgrades with bio you tend to float a lot of gas. Ravens cost a lot of gas. Now that they've improved the raven and it isn't as easy to get them all fungaled(infestor change) this style should rock.

Oh I'm not so sure about that. Sure, in the lower leagues, players are going to have a harder time microing their ravens, but keep in mind that their opponents will also have more difficulty microing against seeker missiles, so it will probably balance out in the end.

Edit: What you'll probably find is that raven micro and anti-raven micro are skills that are picked up and mastered at different times, so there are probably some leagues where one is more powerful and then there are other leagues where the other prevails, and it kinda goes back and forth as you advance through the leagues.
