Hack barely lost to Squirtle with it.
And he beat Lure.

A composition of like 70% hellions 15% Tanks, 15% Ghost is pretty good.

Pretty sure that what we are seeing is Illusion being outclassed in the late game regardless of composition.

Unless Illusion suddenly becomes as good as Taeja, this game five is going to be as brutal as the previous ones. I don't see how Illusion can win this series.

Exactly. That game looked similar to the game where he played bio lategame, dying to DT harass, except Illusion actually had an army that could conceivably defeat Squirtle's army. I feel so goofy saying it, but imo mech still needs more experimentation, on some maps (like that one) it feels viable.

Hellions not bad against stalkers, mech thought of as mobile, a lot of minerals in mech. WHAT? Is this some sort of bizarro mech?

Well at any rate I am pretty sure he has to go into the mid or late game with a pretty significant advantage. Or yeah, becoming online Taeja.

Illusion beat OZ with that exact mech build during IPL4.

If the hellion drop actually catches the P off guard, followed by banshee harass, the game look a lot different...

The general idea is that P ends up building units to defend against your harass rather than units good against mech and can't change their composition fast enough later.

I think far more tanks are needed. 40% Hellions, 40% Tanks, 15% Ghosts, 5% Vikings to manage warp prisms, floating around the map.

I dunno, I'm no pro, but just on the back of games where mass tanks are used lategame, in combination with Ghosts, they seem really effective, the Terran just has trouble quite closing it out.

Typical a pro uses a Mech and suddenly everyone thinks its viable as if it was magically buffed all of a sudden. Just because its not used in the GSL.etc does not mean its not viable. Mech just needed some serious looking into, not playing a game and losing and going well its must be because mech is bad. Helions can hurt toss so much, Mass helions can decimate clumped up roaches.

So should we be worried that Satan has a winning record vs god?

I think Doa and KevinKnocke are a more harmonizing duo than TB and Knocke... TB's style is kind of too outspoken for IPL I feel.
Mutation complete.
