This is taken from a thread on Reddit where it was posted by user MelinaZzZz. All credit goes to them, this is only copy/paste.


BIG list of Terran Heromarine`s builds he used on stream - most of them over explained why and how

I always loved Grubby`s WC3 overexplained series back in the days, while he would explain almost every single action he is making and his decision making.

Heromarine often does that on stream, explaining mechanics, and why and when to do something, which i think is very useful. Here is my list of matches i`ve been watched on his stream, that covers pretty much any build, or vs any build. I put some little notes on every game, so might be easier to find some build or vs some build VOD.

Merry Christmas

I am neither a terran player nor at even remotely near the level where I start looking at pro replays and such. However I must say: Heromarine 'BigGabe' Segat is the fucking man.

The only question I have is...

... why does he still bother with his alias HeroMarine and not just go with BigGabe? It is obviously way more baller

bravo. thanks for all that effort.
One time that happened and I just stopped everything, selected the offending SCV, hit Cancel, moved it over to my Barracks, made a Marine, had the Marine shoot it to death, then left the game.

Thanks for compiling these Melina! BigGabe has truly won me over these past couple of years. A bit salty at times, but as we all know a pinch of salt heightens flavour.

Wow these are really helpful, and I don't even play Terran. When did Heromarine turn into such a nice person?

He's always been a nice guy. When he was young, he was kinda shy, but his English also wasn't that good, which might be a reason. Over the years, he's become very vocal and fun. He also embraced the "BigGabe" memes like a boss. Still, he gets REALLY fucking salty on his stream almost every time he's on. But that's part of the fun.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Randomly joining the thread ~ That's alot of stuff.. uff
Great work, great sharing! I'm not terran, but that sounds fun and I will look into some.
So that overview is very welcome!


Actually I watched some of heromarines recent games on tournament vods very closely. While he was presented as the underdog vs serral (which to all due respect, is okay to say vs the current world champion) he did put up amazing fights despite ... (let's point it out as 3 really close games..). Maybe you remember the one (at HSCXX??) where he put serral really far back and the commentators said there is no way to recover from that (all queens dead, but there had been counter play too), really close series, and astounding games, I did put those to my "best" folder.

And btw the name heromarine is great (I like), the "nickname" bigGabe some of you give him is just a nice to have, you know, of course also nice. I don't think you should change your original name ever (at least once you are that popular everywhere, he was hailed alot!), there will always be people connecting you with the name, and not everyone watches esport or twitch continuously or has time for that. but some times!

Btw does he not upload on youtube? I feel there are better options for low bandwith (when I try to see these from my phone in the train for instance). I never watch stuff live.

[Edit: uh #1,#2 tvt is damn as very deadly as zvz and pvp! Nice! Enough watching for me in first person,
dat spam! I'm dizzy

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/524507184?t=1h33m39s - TVP - how to crush protoss with bio + mines | explained + some rant about Terran race and some general terran stuff

This boy has alot of nice stories, I just started to enjoy his telling... Haha but it doesn't work out when you live-play and have to suddenly talk about proxy gateways...
For me by the way: "Overexplaining" would mean looking at your replay or other replays, where you have time to talk what ever and can pause when ever.
'Luving the rant.
Thanks for the thread. Btw regarding "real game", well people in ladder don't have to play how you want, it's not a custom map training meeting. It also doesn't have to be good or specific timings., everyone how he/she likes it

I know this is irrelevant to your post overall, but still it's just a very revealing statement and probably a good indicator of why Serral is considered the best player of 2019 by a majority on this forum... (https://tl.net/poll/index.php?poll_id=658)
