Lucifron did macro build with 1 early tank in all his TvZs last night in WCS and said it was really safe and you don't really end up behind even if zerg doesn't all in in the interview after the games. | ||

Except your Hellions are delayed for like 75 seconds—or you don't get Hellions at all—and stim is delayed too. There is always a price for early Tanks, and they're not even guaranteed to stop a committed Roach/Baneling bust efficiently (e. g. MMA vs ViBe, Daybreak, Acer vs ROOT: MMA gets a Tank and still loses 27 SCVs), and even if you do stop it dead, you aren't necessarily ahead afterwards because you have zero way to apply counter-pressure, so Zerg simply resumes droning and his failed attack is forgiven (WoL example, but watch for instance Happy vs Goswser, Icarus, RSL IV). People who think "but just get 1-2 Tanks each game to be safe!" completely miss the bigger picture. | ||
