Both siege tanks and thors are too slow to get a large enough numbers of. Thorzain probably thought adelscott would go mass immortal to counter mech and so wanted to insta-kill all immortals. but that was a wrong read on his part. That said, hellions aren't durable and capable enough to defend siege tanks like vultures + spider mines were in brood war. Still, we've seen a lot of terran mech play lately (from goody, jinro, beastyqt, thorzain, ...). I still think it's inferior to MMM with strong multitasking in drops and kiting. But a terran perspective would be refreshing :o. | ||

Harassment is a requirement if you're going mech. Blue Flame hellions out of 1 reactored factory w/ dropships or without are extremely effective. Even if he didn't harass with them, hellions eat up that many zealots if they are positioned properly. | ||

Jinro used more tanks, you CAN go mech against protoss, thorzain failed by making ONLY thors, tanks are a necessity. In that series, jinro also showed hoy 250mm cannons counter immortals while thors+tanks rape stalkers and zealots, more if you add blueflame hellions. That's the correct way to do it. Raven/thor cannot beat that, particularly when not harassing and pressuring early game, and not even scouting properly. | ||

Game 1: MC tries to bust the fast expand but fails. Then takes his own. Jinro is way ahead. Also, it's close position on lost temple. Jinro can just slowpush and use his early advantage. Game 2: MC fails with a 4 gate versus a banshee build. He loses some units and probes and gets a very delayed expansion while being way behind in tech. In the end, Jinro rolls him. | ||

I don't think that game proves anything. Meanwhile, I've seen many games in which Terran goes mech and gets rolled by Protoss late-game, Fenix vs. Kiwi being the latest example from today. | ||

. I'm always happy when terrans try to mech TvP. But it's just... if countered on maps like xel naga, terrans just get rolled like that.
