Hatcheries(Paper) vs Stimmed Marines
By the time the 4th base was denied, MVP was already gaining control - I am referring to the 3rd base denial which was 1 medivac and 8 marines killing everything. That medivac and marines even survived to do some damage in the main. Which was pretty ridiculous and only worked because Curious had all his forces on the top right doing his 1-dimensional strat.

It has a counter, 3 roach push into early third.

It is but it's not doing anything in the pro scene, MVP isn't doing well with it and hasn't done anything significant with it. Just saying. I mean, it works for BoxeR and others but MVP's style, he dominates when he does what he normally does. not sure if serious. reactor hellion is the best opening right now. and even when people 1rax expo its immediately into reactor hellion. the amount of control it gives you and the possibility for early third is amazing. It really doesn't give you that (free) third, Zerg just hit mutas at that time and shut it all down by then. Yes, you have the orbital up but they just ruin the hellions out on the map, the third getting any scv saturation etc. Hellions take SOOO much time away from everything else. So what if it is standard? It's being countered HEAVILY by pro zergs atm, by speed zerglings mainly. uh what? speed zerglings don't counter reactor hellion opening. Yeah, it does. 1 Spine and a few speed zerglings, what are hellions going to do? Control watch towers. So what? Zerg goes to mutas instantly and gets free muta reign then denies the third, like I pointed out. Even Queens can counter hellions. It's just not doing anything anymore, except for preventing fast 3rds from zerg, which doesn't matter because the Terran hasn't teched at all. It lets you get tanks, medivacs, stim/combat shields, secure your nat, scout potential all-ins (and have the appropriate tech to counter), deny the zerg a fast third and creep spread... all in a timely fashion. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about and it's painful to see you try to argue this. Edit: and just to emphasize how stupid you are, if the terran trades hellions for not-too-many-drones (4 hellions for 5 drones isn't worth it), the zerg usually gets ahead due to a) the nature of larva b) the importance of creep spread and c) the potency of a fast third. if it's bringing you such pain why do you continue? Huh? Seeing him argue with a bunch of people who don't make points is painful. I just wrote the initial reply that MVP, when going marine/tank/medivac, opens with reactor hellion. If he doesn't shut up after that post I'd be totally amazed.
I'm amazed you will be amazed.

Stacking your marines nicely at the mineral line so it takes seemingly infinity lings to kill 8 marines and spreading marines out nicely so banelings dont kill them cost effectively are some the small things terran player can do to push their racial advantage against zerg further. But, what can skilled zerg players do to counter these, other than just throwing units extremely non cost effectively against them?

Eh, if it has no counter terrans would have a 100 % win rate against zerg.

Curious had the right idea. MVP's drops, despite of Curious' muta, saved him.

Roach rushes do quite well in small maps.

I remember reading somewhere that most Koreans think that Antiga favors the player who controls the centre of the map. And just so happens most games we watch, the Terran controls the centre.
And Terran has a huge advantage to gain control of the Center of the map ever if the Game plays out even until that point when Terran gets a PF at the 4th Center because Terran has tanks and Zerg going brood lord that early is way too risky because Broods lords in small number are really bad

oh gom why don´t you do a http stream over port 80 so this poor bastard at work can watch the games =(

By no counter, I'm going to assume that he means it's not an auto loss against anything if you play it properly.

So what if it is standard? It's being countered HEAVILY by pro zergs atm, by speed zerglings mainly. But zerg committing to 2 base muta puts them behind more than they want, and reactor hellion doesn't but you behind at all, that's why it's so common, you can use the fac to build more reactors for more barracks or immediately start tank production and switch with a rax to amp up rine production, it also begins your tech so you can go anywhere from there If you didn't make all those hellions, the upgrade for them (if you like), you would have SO MANY MORE tanks and marines, that's what's important, AND hellions don't count as "teching", it's tier 1, and you're not getting siege mode until much later. So the zerg is behind on bases, ahead in tech but terran is equal in bases but behind in tech and behind in tech-based units. Except Terran's are getting their thirds down before the zergs, and you can literally tech to anything you want after that. You don't need 50 hellions....you only have to make like 2-4 hellions. The terrans are having their third denied or attacked and losing scvs or their orbital to mutas, so I disagree. It has just happened in a lot of games we've seen tonight.
Congratulations on making huge assumptions for a build that is over a year old in this matchup and still used in atleast 80% of TvZ's on one day of games. You really have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

People are misunderstanding the term counter - a counter means that something that can beat it most of the time - the reactor helion opening has no counter but it doesn't mean that it's a guaranteed win.

Lol it's an opening bro, it's not supposed to win you the game. You just proved that people think Starcraft is just a fancy form of rock-paper-scissors, well done...

By counter he doesn't mean something that straight up dies. It just means, it puts you at the very least even with the other guy, and at worst in a winning position. The winner isn't arbitrarly decided by build orders; it's decided by who plays their builds best.
