Also, sorry for the attitude in my previous post, I just get really frustrated against P... I actually missed the supply block, both during my game and during my replay watching. So in conclusion, my macro isn't at the level where I think it is (and I'm a bit too hot-headed in my engagements). Good, now I know what to work on. Thanks again ! | ||

Right now, I'm at ~35% while playing "standard macro bio", and this is a typical example of how most of my games go: https://drop.sc/replay/11999229 To be honest, I don't know what to think of it and I'm looking for outside opinions.
Any tips, ideas, anything ? https://drop.sc/replay/12027925 I have 80% tvp with this build. actually it might be 100% because I play so rarely that every tvp loss is entirely my fault, legit can't remember when I was outplayed using it. | ||

My question is, when I see the pool that early, what is a good reponse. I tried cancelling the expansion and going into hellions , but they still take another 40 seconds to a minute to come out, by that time its 2 hellions vs. 20 lings. I appreciate your input. | ||

My question is, when I see the pool that early, what is a good reponse. I tried cancelling the expansion and going into hellions , but they still take another 40 seconds to a minute to come out, by that time its 2 hellions vs. 20 lings. I appreciate your input. you can pull scvs to kill the initial lings w/your marine. as for the 20 speedling followup you are fine to float the CC to the high ground (or cancel and remake if you don't want to pull your SCVs) and wait for 4 hellions. making that many lings is a big commitment. you are probably mentally blocking yourself by thinking you're behind when you're not. after the first 2-6 lings since you didn't open reaper you should send out another SCV or scan your opponent's natural to determine his followup. that way after defending the initial lings you can land the CC and start mining in case he is droning, and then just float back + wall up if you see more lings coming if you open with an early SCV scout, which you should, when you see late hatchery indicating ling opener you can try to run the SCV toward zerg's third base area so you can keep it alive for the followup scout. if you see a drone trying to take the third base you know your opponent isn't committing to mass ling, otherwise suicide into his base to see what comes out of eggs + if you're lucky scout the main for fast lair which can indicate nydus, muta or speed roach allin finally, since you are trying to play greedy with a marine opening you do have the option of just automatically going for high ground CC, which is totally immune to all these ling timings, and just accept a minor economy loss in macro games. | ||

Yes that seems like the simplest option, in gold league they try all kinds of crazy sheet, and a late lair may also just mean they forgot to build it. | ||

T_T If you see hydras a common response is to mix in tanks with your bio, hydras are expensive compared to just ling bane so if you see them usually there will be a window where you can push with a maxed out 2-2 bio tank army before they get to deep into hive tech. The tanks are great defensively and once you reach a critical mass they have to be countered with hive out of zerg, there comes a tipping point where ling bane hydra just can’t trade reasonably vs bio with tanks. It is very important that you push back creep if this is your game plan, tank pushes are much stronger when zerg does not have vision of your siege and unsiege Times. | ||

I think a better solution is to 1) Damage the protoss economy as much as possible with mine or hellion drops. 2) Do a tank/hellbat/thor/mine push as soon as they start to transition to air, and try to end the game there. In theory you can go BC but in practice Protoss just switches to tempest and kite you to death. Even if you teleport on top of the tempest you typically lose every BC in the process. So killing as many probes as possible and do a kill-push before they can get their late game army is more reliable. Hi everybody, I use this conversation to ask you some tips against mass carriers strat. I am about 3.5k terran with macro bio style. I play random on an other account just for fun. My random is at 3k MMR so Gold 1-Plat3. When I pick terran I have to win 90% of the time but I lost every single game vs toss going mass carriers AND 100 battery shields around his 2 bases. To morrow I lost vs a 2.9k protoss, I cried like a little girl. I know if the toss got more than 10 carriers it is done for me but how don't let him do that. I tried early harass but battery shields deny all my attemtps I tried late game full BC-Vikings (because always I stand on 5 or 6 bases and my opponent on 2 or 3) Add some WM with drilling claws. Every time I lost the lone and final battle I am unable to micro my units to focus fire the carriers Someone can help me plz | ||

You don't have to fight his army... when he moves out to attack be in position and go around. you should be able to kill his 3 bases faster than your 5 or 6. if he kills 1 of your bases and retreats, make sure you kill 1 of his as well... | ||

Yes, outexpand any race turtling, get your production buildings up. Since he spent so much minerals on shield batteries, you could make a lot of CCs and start muling. Thors wreck carriers in their heavy cannon anti-air mode, carriers are easy to click on too. Thors + Vikings should absolutely destroy a mass carrier build. if they go into ground, your vikings can land and vikings do quite well against any gateway units too. | ||

Yeah, at 3K MMR guys just turtle like mad man and go to T3 units. Im going crazy cause on my side, I expand as fast as I can, my macro still decent but at the end I lost. I will try your advices, maybe more harass with BC, kill his bases and make 200 turrets to defend mines, and I will try Thor. I never ever made a single Thor in TvP. I will give it a chance. | ||

Sidenotes: I think those builds are quite outdated, but I'm doing OK with them at ~4.3k MMR level. As you probably understood, I'm quite fond of bio play. | ||

I've been doing lots of proxy 3 rax marine and proxy 2 rax marauder but I'm now noticing a trend where these cheeses don't really work that well anymore at people 4500+ unless I micro like a god. Is for example bc rush somewhat viable or proxy cloak banshee or what are the big boys doing atm? Only cheese I can remember seeing in TvP from GSL is proxy marauder which I already want to move away from... Although proxy’s can still work if you really catch toss off guard battery overcharge is extremely strong vs frontal attacks early game when unit numbers are low, unless they play greedy, don’t scout, and don’t counter correctly I don’t think proxy marauder is good any more, I used to abuse the build a lot last season but see little to no success with it any more even with the more Allin 2 rax on their side of the map version. I think for cheesy/risky builds the best bet are builds where you cut your defense/delay 2 base push to have a big chance of doing economic damage for instance if you go 4 hellion drop you can wreck an unprepared toss’s income right before thier 4 gate blink comes online. Playing this way can get you a lot of free wins But it makes you vulnerable to allins. You end up being pretty dependent on dealing a ton of dmg because you don’t have enough to hold the blink counter attack otherwise. Honestly with the new battery and the blink meta I think it’s better to try to play extremely straight up vs toss right now. I have become a fan of Clem’s opening where he gets 2 reapers and a hellion and uses them either to pressure or defend doing this lets him cut a bunker and go into slightly faster 3 rax this in turn lets you hold off 4 gate blink and from their you can take a third if they go 2 base tech or fight at their third if they expo. | ||
