You do realize that writing for TL is done on a voluntary basis, and we haven't had a dedicated (and very active) terran writer in forever?

Playing without an Observer network scares the hell out of me in PvT. In fact, playing macro on maps that aren't Overgrowth scares the hell out of me because it's so easy for Terran to drop on the other three maps I play even if you do have a bunch of Observers (esp. Catallena and Merry Go Round). I'd really love to try this style, but I think it's too far beyond my comfort zone/skill-level. This is a cool write-up though, and it's definitely a strong style if you're comfortable with being vulnerable to drops (by which I mean comfortable with not seeing drops coming via Observers), or you have PartinG level game-sense =P


Yes, the execution part of spreading pylons and hallucinations while being active with blink stalkers is the hardest part of this build, especially when you are used to having 5-6 obs map hacking all over the map

He's one of the best performing players in Pro League and has reached GSL Code S something like 11x in a row now?

Sure, he didn't do well at Red Bull, but losing 1-2 to Polt and 0-2 to Scarlett is an "any given Sunday" type of thing.

Then let's use a DRG build, he is on 15, time for a DRG award?

Are you seriously deciding, based on a series alone (did he even use this style vs polt?), wether a build is viable?

Also historically he has brought an insane number of innovations to the matchup.

This is a very solid build and an excellent write-up Teo. Parting is a brilliant player, and this style fits right in with the recent switch to late upgrade styles. Just think: it's only very recently that the creator.prime style has fallen into disfavor.

Go away Terran. You're disrespecting a well-written article and its dedicated author. There are plenty of T stuff on TL if you look. Disgusting behavior.

I haven't played sc2 since Hots came out, so the history section in the appendix was a nice little read to understand how PvT has changed since its release. Thanks for that Teo!

Since i have a Terran friend on equal skill level, I was looking for PvT builds on google, then liquipedia. Did not find any useful information. So i decided to check teamliquid forum and on the front site it said: «Having trouble in PvT lately? Let TL Strat show you how to play the matchup like a Big Boy and find success like PartinG The Big Boy Build» I was like BINGO! Thanks.

TL so protoss biased, I swear when will we get a nice terran guid like this?

When we can find a terran writer as consistent as me

As a group we don't really hate on races (i personally hate zergs but that's not the point), we just do what we can with the people we have, and unfortunately, we don't really have any terran writers that can produce consistent content right now. We know it's been an issue for a long time, but it's not one that can be fixed very easily.
