Wouldn't it be better to use Polt and save their Zerg player for Inca?
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

Well, I hate to say this, but Terrans make two mistakes in TvP:

1. They build too many Vikings
2. They don't build enough Vikings

So basically vikings are to terran what drones are to zerg?

And we see why mech sucks:

Mechanic is so bad - __ -


Disappointed in this post Jinro, you should know that MC just knew the weakness to Mech (its immobility) and went around the other side. If Hannibal had afew tanks covering his flank, he would of held it and won that game convincingly. Or rather; if it was a map that only had ONE path to attack, theres no way MC could of broke out of there.

Everything has its strengths and weaknesses.. Mech is slow and immobile, but protoss has no chance breaking a mech contain like hannibal had, so MC had to go around or else lose when the slow push finally reached him.

Hahahahaha

Sigh.

Yeah, everything has its weaknesses and the mech weakness is big enough to make it not worth doing on 99% of maps, and if MC actually got to play people who meched regularly he would murder it so bad its not even funny.

Thats why you make cannons, because the only way to win with mech is to kill probes, sim city and cannons mean you kill none.

Hannibal SHOULD have won this game because of all the mistakes MC made, but didnt - and no he didnt play perfectly of course. There's no excuse for his 4th being an orbital, and losing all those ghosts was careless.

Still, if he had been going bio and was THIS far ahead, this come back would never happen.

Not at all. It's just that mech is weak TvP so koreans competitive players don't use it so MC doesn't really know how to play against it other than "zelotes / immortal do good against mech". If MC trained with Goody / PredY (he uses mech I think?) he would have crushed Hannibal

Ok, guys how build that leads you to 70 supply lead is not viable? If MC had mistakes, what about the Hannibal guy? He lost everything with one battle, he could won if he kept positioning advantage and build some sensor towers. I think it is entirely players fault, not builds..
Impossible is nothing

IIRC, Polt was one of the first people to expose some holes in MC's play.

I think MC is playing a little less greedy these days, though, but Polt is still really good at TvP.

They may have a prepared sniper for MC, though.

He just did a nexus first. Seems pretty greedy to me even if that's probably the only map you can get away with it.


You can get away with nexus first on most maps actually vs T.


I'm trying to remember how many Gateways he went after Nexus. IIRC, in a game Polt crushed him he did 1-Gate expand into Robo. Econ+Tech is about as greedy as you can get.

If the protoss doesnt know how to play vs it, yes. But give MC a crash course in what to not do vs mech and that game would have been a joke.

Nex first holds most terran aggression better than 1 gate nex, there are exceptions tho - like if you get scouted too early on smaller maps you just cant hold scv+fast concussive bunker rush, but you dont actually lose the game as long as you dont try to fight him with probes, just the nexus.... at which point you are behind, but not dead because the terran had to commit a lot of SCVs.

We'll see how the future of SC2 pans out.. but considering Thorzain did well vs MC with mech, Goody does well vs protoss with mech (despite his low apm/macro).. and didnt you beat afew protoss before with mech? Its not as strong as pure marauder, sure (what else in the game is), but its a viable strat.
