Since the current map pool and game design prevents anything but bio I am thinking of just doing an all-in every game vs Protoss to get the match over with Which type of all-in is the most likely to succeed in TvP? Is is better to do a 1-base or 2-base all-in? Is it better to just go marine/medivac for the all in or to go marine/medivac/tank? Should I pull my workers or leave them at home? | ||

Subtract 4 on Prion Terraces because your natural (and fourth) is a gold base and only has 6 mineral patches instead of the usual 8. Also, you generally want as many SCVs building depots as you have bases so as not to get supply blocked, plus it can be helpful to have a spare or two so you can build without taking away from income. There's no set number because it depends entirely on your infrastructure, gameplan, the map and wether you want a relatively quick 4th or not. In hots things were so simple that you only needed 3 base saturation, but lotv is a more complicated game. Just a general observation, it would do the quality of this thread well to simplify everything less. Both questions and answers often aren't as comprehensive as they should be. | ||

I personally like the 1 base all-in on most maps in the current pool. Marine/Tank with Starport production as Lib, Med, then Libs after. Tanks are mandatory for fighting against the new attacking pylons. As for workers, you can take a couple with you for building bunkers (and consider Engineering Bay for turret depending on if you see Stargate or DTs), but pulling isn't that good any more. | ||

Bunkers and turrets. If he's taking his time with the bust get a tank. But bunkers + repair + turrets should be enough.

To all terran players out there who go reaper fe, how the hell do you block 3 rax reaper? It hits so freaking fast... You pretty much can't. Scv scout -> see if he's getting 2 gasses -> if he is check if he's building a factory. If he's not building a factory don't expand, get an extra barracks and factory when you can and micro your heart out, it's holdable but hard. If he's proxying something, still delay the expansion, and send an scv to proxy locations to confirm that it's not a proxy factory. | ||

i rly have no chance, when Ultras join the field. Unless i am able to somehow cripple Zerg hardcore and prevent ultras i lose every game in TvZ as soon as those Ultralisks pop. Funny thing, i just went through all those GSL SSL games i found in that playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgN32fqH1yth8VZDkibCSVv-swu_UxZeg&nohtml5=False and as far as i can say, all Terran died in a game, where ultras were out. Ofc that can have many reasons, but you would think that out of... 15? games, at least 5 or even 7-8 Terran should have won, like 50%? I mean, SC2 is balanced right? Kappa but srsly, how do i beat ultralisks? I cant beat them with bio, ok, fair enough. but Mech seems to be no viable option either. Skyterran? I dont think that rly works in most cases. And Ghosts are only good for turtlling, so you never attack? Libs, well i heared they get nerfed soon, and even if not, you just avoid the zones and you are fine, esp with Roach Ravager as startingpoint instead of LBM. Vs LBM Libs are somewhat viable, because they counter muta and in great numbers they are good vs Corruptor as well, just in case. But still, not rly a viable option. And Thor? I tried in unit test map with 3/3 vs full upgraded Ultralisk. Well, Terran loses in all cases. And lets be honest, when does Terran hast 3/3 mech upgrades, when playing bio? esp now that Sky and Mech have different attackupgrades again. So, pls tell me, how, am i supposed to win vs ultra, if i am NOT able to deal heavy dmg in mid game, and it is just even macro game? | ||

The natural enemy of the ultra is pathfinding, so in defense, try to always have a building between your army and the ultras. if it's not possible, run and fight somewhere else. If you're attacking, use liberator to zone out any weak position, and force the zerg to fight where you want to fight. Just remember that once the ultras are out, you can't just brute force the zerg anymore, you have to proceed step by step, carefully. Use scans to never lose sight of his army, and never be surprised. I you want to play bio, drop a lot, because ultras are not that mobile. If you were there during the early sc2 days, take the zerg as we did with a late-game protoss : never ever ever fight against it if you are not in the perfect position | ||

Does it also depend if you play vs LBM or RR into ultra? Or doesn't that affect it at all? | ||

I try to keep upgrading bio non-stop while multi dropping. For some reason, there's just a point where I can never engage their army without getting wrecked. What compositions are you guys using ? What are you favorite openings ? I usually go Reaper Expand into 2 rax fast stim (MaSa build vs HuK in Katowice). How do you guys play the matchup ? That's not just you. Adept immortal crushes bio if you have no liberators. If he adds storm it gets even worse. You have to play liberator-heavy nowadays. | ||

I think I am comfortable enough in the other two match-ups to justify not using them, though perhaps that is wrong in the case of zerg. Come to think of it, I'm not sure about my winrate vs zerg these days. I just go MMMM. Is that OK or not? | ||

I've had decent success with Mech though (Low/Mid Masters). I open with marines and hellbat, use tanks to allow expansions and slowly up the liberator count. Versus late game compositions (Ultralisks, Infestors, Broodlords etc...) I tend to go mass liberators, mass ghosts and a few tanks. Maybe some fellow MMMM players could chime in vs Zerg. I struggled with it personnally. | ||

I just played vs Zerg and just not having success though against Roach. I wonder versus mass roach / ravager what you're supposed to do? MMMM is just not the most efficient answer. | ||

TY and Maru go pure marine/tank (with medivacs obv.) against mass roach/ravager (only adding marauders if a transition from the Zerg is in sight). With proper micro the tanks don't ever die and dodging biles with marines is easy. You can see with just 2 tankivacs TY denies creep and pushes back a huge army. | ||
