I feel like ThorZaIN's build is having an identity crisis, nevertheless it's a really cool transition, don't know how cost effective it is if the initial 2 rax push is thwarted though.

Far from it, there is no build order win vs nexus first on bigger maps such as Shakuras. If it is held the game will be even or hero will be ahead most likely

So even though Hero lost a nexus the game is even? Especially when he went nexus first?



Hero does not usually loose nexus vs 2rax when playing nexus first, i said that before any engagement happened

ThorZaIN played that out really cool

He is saying that if HerO defends the 2 rax the game is even at best for Terran. More likely in favor of HerO and thats perfectly correct. If you can hold a Nexus first against a 2 rax - very late expansion by Terran you will be ahead.

Obviously 'holding' is not equal to Nexus survives, but you lost 25 probes and 10 units...

What do you mean by "Hero does not usually loose nexus." He lost it, which put him at an extreme disadvantage, which ended with him losing the game.

That was an interesting transition from 2rax expand into 2 base marine tank banshee play. Its a good trick to have in your bag when everyone expects pure bio after a 2rax expand.

I do believe T using a couple Tanks in midgame is something to be further explored

It's cool how back and forth this match up is. I really like that thorzain can hold his own both in the late game and with these early pushes. Very cool composition to win that game. The transition from 2-rax to tank banshee back to bio was genius, he's such a good player.

That said, go Hero, kick his ass =)!

This is huge for HerO, with a 2 fe build thorzain has to be rine early to survive, if HerO gets lance and 2-3 colo and just pushes, I feel he can really punish tzain for delaying tech.

Yeah 2-base collosi are coming back, they are still really strong.

Need marauder flank vs 2 base colossi. That's how Puma beats it without vikings.

they arent that strong, just when terran plays incredibly greedy they punish it. If thorzain had done a standard fe into 3rax 2 gas fact etc he woulda held really easy, tbh if he had done that hero prob woulda taken a third

He already had 3 CCs, which is very greedy, so he wouldve needed to scout it coming earlier throw up more bunkers and go vikings before medivacs. Still even with that it would be a difficult hold.
