this build crash zerg ranged units for 3 reasons.
1), in the first 10min, you are building bio and mines to 100, which are better against roach than reaper hellion.
and your 5 barracks finish earlier than reaper hellion build. the above will guarantee solid defense. If your micro are good, you dont even need bunker/tank/scv pull


2) your ebay starts at 7:00, there's no upgrade timing for zerg at all.

3) if zerg commit too much roach b4 11 min, your 4 medivac will be such a pain in the ass.
Will have to choose between replenishing roach to defend your multi tasking medivacs before hydra, or drone and drone his 4th for macro game at the same time.

when you play this right, you will be more than happy to see any roach on the map, cauz 10 roach are much easier to deal with than 10 banelings and 10 lings which cost the same amt of resources.

This is actually one of the very best builds to play against roach hydra as it gives you the ability to easily flood with bio ( marauder heavy ) + hellbats.


when deal with roach, produce 4-6 mines to defend 1st wave then stop factory production
hellbats are less useful than 2 marines or 1 marauders (assume gas is free for mid game tvz) in the mid game.

Thanks for this amazingly detailed guide, it does all the thinking required for me :D. The build doesn't seem much harder than other more conventional builds, as very little multitasking is required.

However I'm a bit confused about Avast finding malware from that site where you uploaded replays. I couldn't read or understand anything and just downloaded the replays.

Maybe it's better to upload them elsewhere?

I put reps to prove that I did manage to won a top amateur Chinese players as an underdog. Since you don't know them at all, you won't find these replays useful, because usually I cannot execute the build perfectly.

Alternatively, just watch vod of bomber vs DRG. It's more than enough for you to understand the build.
You can also find bomber replays from spawningtool, under "Redbull Battleground"->"Bomber"

This is a replay of a game I played using this build vs roach hydra. I made a lot of dumb mistakes, like misplacing my first cc, and I tried to be too fancy with the overlord snipe, making my macro fall apart. This was one of the worst games I have ever played using this build.

That being said, when the zerg attacked me, we had equal army supply, but I just lost horribly, then lost my 3rd cc, and from there I would have lost the game if the zerg had spent his 2000 minerals, or even just paid attention to his upgrades, while I was spending all my money at that point. I don't understand why I lost that first fight vs roach hydra. Was it bad positioning, or just a case of having too few units?

first, you do not cancel a CC if you misplace a cc. you are terran, CC can fly.

second, you are not prepared for a zerg ranged combo. you have to scout.

third, you are 80 sec slower than normal on tech.
At 8 minute mark, you should have 2 hellions and 2 mines just finished and start starport. and you even forget to produce medivac immediately after starport finish thus you have no medivac even in 12:30.
mules should be call down as soon as you have one rdy.

normally, at 12:30, you should have an army size as big as the end of replay.

I want to thank you again for this amazing build. It's such fun to see the zerg spreading creep thinking "LOL that terran is way too passive" and then shove a big ass army in his face. :D

Also, MKP did a similar build today on GSL right? only slightly greedier

as long as you put down gas and 2nd barracks on time, you can open with CC first into 3CC.

F2 button is the default button that select your whole army.

A means attack move.

He means that in certain situations your macro advantage is big enough that you can select your whole army and attack move and win. This works even in higher leagues.


Edit: I don't think I've ever had as much fun with a build, didn't lose with it yet while my execution is still very sub optimal. You just have soo much stuff :D. Might just leave diamond league behind for the first time after 4 years of being diamond.

as long as you put down gas and 2nd barracks on time, you can open with CC first into 3CC.

If you watched Snute's practice games against uThermal a couple weeks ago (from uThermal's perspective) you can see CC first into gasless 3CC into pure bio style. The build is very close to the same--it has early 2nd rax before factory, 2 hellions, 2 widow mines, a 10 minute drop, and all infrastructure added before 10 minutes. I've also adapted it myself by doing a build identical to Bomber's after the gas comes down (rax fact ebay ebay starport) but skipping the widow mines because the factory is slightly later.

dude that 2 widow mines is all you can count on to defend all-in
for whatever reason if you did not finish them b4 8 min mark, place starport next to factory, switch after starport finish.

Bomber builds the starport on the reactor that he used to make the Hellions / mines.
