When watching the pros play it seems easy to overlook a lot of small elements of their play that leads them to victory, they don't just mindlessly select everything and move out, there is methodology to how they move out, how they position and how they go about fighting, and I feel like its one of the harder things to pick up on, and probably one of the harder parts to master as well. | ||

I still have to ask though, will you do a guide, or is there a plan to make guides on how to engage and properly fight?

This season I feel lost in TvZ, last season I had like 60% winrate in plat,but now in diamond about 30%  (Looks like every season my best MU changes, now my TvP is strongest :O) Sometimes I am just afraid to push and feel like my split is not good enough and blings will destroy my army, so I find my self turtling between my 3rd and fourth. I am trying to drop a lot, but sometimes I just feel I am losing a lot more resources than him. I'm looking forward to the section about engagements too Thank you for your hard work and dedication | ||

Your splits will only improve if you try to do them. | ||

Here is the Listing for it from Day9 http://day9.tv/d/Day9/day9-daily-621-polts-tvz-amazingness/ The mid game is the same. The opening from that is a wonderfully modified opening. It is a reaper expand into fast starport before 3rd CC. Including every variation on openings and midgame would leave me with a guide that would be about 100 pages long. I kid not! This guide covers the two single most common openings and the most common trends in the mid game. In other news, the first draft of the followup 4M article is now done. I focused on a player and his version of 4M and showcase a detailed look at positioning and how that player uses a unique build order to accomplish his goals. I also look very deeply at how 4M is intended to win games as this current guide is a bit light on that specific subject. | ||

I always thought it is Marine Mines Medivac and the last 1 is maybe Mule? Because I always never see marauder. | ||

Check out alot of replays in the guide. Many pros do get marauders at some point in the game. Every Terran adds them if the Zerg makes it to Hive and techs to Ultras. It depends on the playstyle of the Terran but MANY Terran like to go for a 10 marine and 1-4 marauder rally instead of the more modern korean trend of the moment to rally 12 marines. 4M has always stood for Marine, Marauder, Medivac, Mine. You can find examples of casters such as Day 9 and Artosis using it in such a fashion since the release of HotS. | ||

The entire matchup revolves around those unit comps and Terran is the one coming out ahead! | ||

You should be going bio/mine not bio/tanks. bio/tank isn't very good, bio/mine is way stronger, easier to use and a lot more mobile. I think mines are preferred over tanks because no matter what zergs will have at some point some mutas... And since the hots buff mutas are really really good so you can't invest your 'tech' unit into something that cannot kill muta. | ||
