It's my standard build in PvT, it's pretty common in the matchup in general. Dual Forge and a greedy third is not particularly standard against Zergs anywhere

Yes, he does. He got a lot of fans because of wow, for example.

That's what the upgrades patch buff and chrono can give you.

QXC made an excellent post on his teams site about the fact that Chrono doesn't cause a big upgrade advantage, but rather the fact that Terran (or in this case, Zerg) start upgrading later than protoss leads to the disadvantage. If Ret had done a double Evo play he would have barely trailed in upgrades.

Inca loves to do this if he can determine that the zerg will be playing passive. That or if he's playing Bomber. :D

Wonder how the new warhound will fit mech instead of Thor.. A bit worried, it might be good TvP, but TvZ - it's got shorter range and Terrans are going to be so weaker to tech switches I guess..

Man. That unit. When Terran sieges up a position with tanks in mech style, just convert half of the Hellions to those things. The position will just be that much tougher to break. It's fucking ridiculous actually.

That are battle hellions, he means the mini thors

Ya, I caught that. Those warhounds are too fast, looks ridiculous. The idea of thors is to have 1 at each base or a couple left behind to deal with muta Counter pushes. But they just had to make a more mobile version because 90% of people were too dumb to figure that out, so they just made em faster for better 1 hotkey action.

Well, thors are actually pretty solid against ground targets as well but these warhounds would have absolutely no use besides shooting clumped up mutalisks. They get bonus damage against mechanical ground targets and are most likely terrible against biological.

So you get a mini-thor that is useless against any zerg ground unit, seems like a nerf overall to me. In fact I can't justify making them in TvZ if they remain in their current form.


We can assume that they will be less population than thors. If you can get 3 for 2 pop, like goliaths most likely, I suspect that they will be better than thors.



Their ground attack will only be good against mechanical unit. Zerg don't have any. :-(

So make more than one type of unit?

Why make an unit that is only useful against one single unit in the zerg army when you can just make marines instead?


Your wrists hurt?

LOLs. I hope you got the reference.

Why make up your mind now on a unit when we aren't even in beta? You can't possible imagine any circumstances where you can incorporate the warhound against zerg? Saying they aren't good against zerg ground is just mindless theorycrafting.

Yeah i know. I read the qxc blog.
Still impressive that you can get 5 upgrades in 20min.

I think the reason it's a viable/standard build PvT isn't just that but more that it's actually viable to build a lot of zealots in the matchup in the early/midgame and get your tech up with the excess gas, possible while off 2 bases.

Grubby took an early third in that game double forging because vs Zerg you need a lot of gas-intensive units and higher tech, if you add dual forge upgrades you NEED those extra gases at the third.
