I've been opening similar but I get the forge right after gas, instead of Robo. That way I can get a cannon in each mineral line to defend against mines. Then get a couple of gates and a second forge + twilight.
We do what we must, because we can

Really nice guide, tried it yesterday (~ 1100 dia) really strong build. Terran didn't know what to do with the aggression and early storms completely caught his stimtiming push offguard. He then maxed out on MMMG and found himself unable to build vikings at 200 supply against the double robo production! Really awesome build, it makes pvt fun again (I hate collosus-build into passive play for 20mins..)

I am seeing this all the time on ladder now as Terran. All the Tosses playing it has like 70% win chance.
It will probably be patched in 6 months - 1 year or so (not sure because probably GSL terrans can deal with it, and then it will be considered as fine lol). But since I can not get patched to 500 apm vs mass zealots my normal Terran play has probably taken to many hits and found something else to do by then. Great guide though, you deleted atleast me from ladder, I surrender.

I can assure you that if you're horribad, ladder will make you meet other horribad players (perhaps me!?). And then, just build marauders and research stim. But by your reasoning, marine marauder medivac will probably be nerfed by next year, so don't worry.

If MMM get's nerfed instead, then I will die even harder? I guess I should worry then? Hahaha? I am 7 times master so I am not awful I guess? Or ? One mans missery, another one's joy!

Is 7 times master not enough to make ghosts earlier in the game? Since it pretty much hardcounters this build.

1) You can still micro against ghosts. They mean you have to transition into colossus (or tempest, but as i wrote none quite knows how that one works yet) but ht builds are by no means hard countered by ghosts.

2) Please stop with the shitposting.

3) Balance doesn't affect master level players. People in master, including myself, suck too horribly at the game for that to be relevant.

This is what I keep reading, but does it only seem a problem to me, that balancing the game on the korean gm ladder (or even higher) has led to a game, where non-korean terrans cannot really compete with korean players, while we see some non korean zerg (Scarlett, Stephano...) or protoss (Nani, Grubby) having some success against them?
I mean yeah we've all seen a foreigner terran to win against a korean guy, but how far did he make it?

Or is it just me and it only FEELS like foreigner terrans are struggling harder than foreigner toss/zerg.

And considering ladder: As a player who went from bronze up to masters, first with terran, now the same again with random, i have seen many things:
Of course the game has to be balanced on the highest skill-level, but I would wish that this also affects lower skill levels the same ammount. It just doesn't FEEL fair/balanced, that on lower leagues, some races are imba in terms of they have strats much easier to pull of for a win then others or to put it in other words: doesn't feel to satisfying getting defeated by a overall clearly worse player ("noob") just because he succeeds with his 30-50 APM allin build (of course the losing player must have made one big mistake so he loses, I'd rather prefer losing in sc2 is because of a sum of minor mistakes -> it is in GSL & Co (well not even there all the time) but in brood war this seemed more the case, why can't that transfer to SC2

You are not aware of how dt's (for example) fucntion in bw are you?

Anyway, this thread isn't the place for those discussions, so again, stop with the bad posting please.

nice guide Teo, just what i need going back to SC2
I have just one question, will you not add some of your own replays? It was very helpful at WoL version of this guide.
E[ max(0, S-K) | S<K]*P(S<K) + E[ max(0, S-K)| S>K]*P(S>K) = E[0 | S<K]*P(S<K) + E[S-K | S>K]*P(S>K)

I posted some in the protoss help me thread a while ago, with some digging you should find them.

We almost never include personal replays in TL strat articles because the level of play is not even remotely comparable to that in the Vods. I looked for good pro level replays while doing this but i didn't find anything

well I did play BW a lot, so I don't know what you're refering to.
AFAIR in BW you couldn't warp a DT into the face of the oponent, and that is, if a lower league player doesn't scout perfectly and/or sees the warpin it hits harder in sc2, not saying toss is imba, just there are tricks that were cheesy before and now they got even simpler ;-)
But yeah, I don't want to discuss this, just pointed something out. As said thx for the guide, but that's no reason to talk from a high hourse, I mean saying others posts are bad just because it isn't your opinion...

Finally found them among your many posts in the help me thread, you really post a lot there
Thanks a lot

I know, right? It's so hard to find accessible replays of the absolute highest-level execution for any strategy. I know players like to keep their patterns and style as inaccessible to opponents as possible, but I'd love to follow and rewind through Flash's POV instead of just listening to Artosis try to explain what's going on.

Nonetheless, a great list of stuff to watch here. I'm sure some Diamond or lower players could even find something useful in your replays, Teoita.

What I REALLY need is a guide on how to improve ones reading skills. I kept glancing at this guide in TL main page thinking to read it later since I really need to learn how to deal with storms in TvP. "Storms Overwhelming", indeed.

While still an interesting read, this was not the terran guide I expected.

Oh the horror.

TL never fails to impress. Guides like this are perfect examples of this.
