Also, Yoda will probably 1/1/1 Alicia, but I have a tiny glimmer of hope that maybe Yoda will execute it so badly that Alicia can win. Alicia's bad PvZ seems sliiiightly better than Leenock's bad ZvP given that they met in the Super Tournament and Alicia barely squeaked by. Not to mention that Alicia now has Coca (70% ZvP winrate) to practice with, so I'm slightly optimistic. | ||

Heck, it might even be viable to switch to it at some point. Watch Goody! He scouts with barracks!  | ||

You can't just switch into Mech if you started bio anyways , it'll leave you super vulverable for way too long. There is no point in the game where I wouldn't consider 100 minerals for a helion a sound investment. | ||

I'm sure you noticed the ground type isn't even with the ramp up into his main? They aren't charging them. Correct positioning with siege tanks could have been very helpful. | ||

Scouted nicely in mid to confirm the tech route. Poked around with his bio to snipe out sentries and get out without taking losses. His drops traded pretty evenly. He set up some fantastic emp's vs the templars initially. Then he didn't scout double robo Colossus and lost =p I don't know why terrans don't just build the vikings preemptively. Byun knew he would win if Alicia just stayed on templar tech, so why didn't he prepare for Alicia's only chance at winning? | ||

Before 1/1/1 became extremely popular, almost no Terran went Siege tanks/mech in TvP. The fact that you have a really good scout for a long time is enough to outweigh the cost of being unpredictable, particularly in a straight up standard game. | ||

Correct positioning with siege tanks could have been very helpful. And if you get hit on the open on Terminus you are dead. Terminus is one of the few Maps where Bio is good in TvT for that exact same reason. Tanks suck on that Map. | ||
