You cannot use Ravens because they are so gas heavy and you have a problem making tanks, thors, and upgrades all ready (plus factories cost gas). Honestly, I think if Terrans are going to go mech they need to build turrets with their push (lots). Perhaps skimp on the hellions a bit and use the minerals to turtle with lots of turrets? | ||

At least cloak would have helped as they could have escaped the mutas. i still think that pdd is the solution to DRG infinity muta style compositions but it's yet to catch on :\ | ||

Having the ability to play both mech and bio very well has been extremely beneficial for MVP's career. | ||

You're saying that mech doesn't work in ZvT when multiple people are doing it including MVP (against Nestea as well as here). Mech also knocked out Nestea in the RO32 (mass thor/hellion mech no less). Secondly, how did my analogy make no sense? I took the exact same mineral counts (1200) and compared them. You can up that to like 35-40 marines and, if upgrades are even, a well micro'd 25+ muta ball will still take barely any losses. Bouncing in and out of range is cool like that. Medivacs totally null the argument, however (sorta like scv's repairing thors). | ||

He made more than 10 banshees, I said replace them with ravens. | ||
