This makes high apms achievable, and it made me see how few actions are involved in a high apm. You use a metronome to play?? hehehe, what bpm is it on? lmao, your apm on a chart would be a straight line. If I tried this it would probably just bother me. It would be funny if someone asked you your apm and you say something like prestissimo rofl. | ||

I knew I was on the right track when I was listening to fast-ass techno music to get me pumped. | ||

Been 19 hours since you posted that you were starting the compression. Wondered if there it had bugged out, or if it was just taking a lot longer than you thought. Any feedback appreciated. | ||

If you have 3 bases you can literally build a few hundred banelings quickly, and they will smash a mech army like no other. You are crazy, tanks rape banelings harder than anything else in the game :s On June 09 2010 00:01 shiftY803 wrote: Artosis uses ultras alot if anyone has been watching his stream. They are actually a terrific tech switch against protoss once you have been using hydras/roaches/corrupters all mid-game. To be honest, I was very disappointed by Jinro's play in that game. I do think the strat is viable, but Jinro made TLO's life easy. TLO placed his overlords at will. Imagine how much difference a viking or two would have made. Jinro let TLO kill like 16 SCVs with fungal growth at one point, due to not putting detection on his mineral line. He did basically no harrass the entire game. I know mech is passive, but I've never seen a terran THAT passive in a high-level mech game. Edit: Wanted to add that I definitely did like TLO's comments on the value of creep, and how that effects the usage of hydralisks. I still don't think ultras in SC2 > ultras in SC1 though. Maybe he was high... j/k.  I don't remember the game very well but I'm pretty sure I decided to just turtle really hard because of failing all my attacks in the previous games. IIRC that day went something like: Wake up, win 4-0 vs TLO with mech, go for a run/eat lunch. Come back, lose 0-7++ vs TLO with mech. I gave up on hellion harass because he has creep everywhere and they just die, I agree that I should make a viking tho. Dropping anything is really risky because he has so many infestors and if you drop thors they are liable to get stolen ;/ Anyway, I dunno if Day showed the Scrap Station game where I spend the entire game viking harassing him (succesfully) and then die to ultras anyway. | ||

You are crazy, tanks rape banelings harder than anything else in the game :s That's why you creep the whole map with additional queens and try to catch him unsieged or on the move. If you fail to do this (what will happen against any decent slow push), you are pretty much screwed because the tank smarttargetting > Baneling | ||

Catch him unsieged and you can make whatever the fuck you want, banelings are a bad option. If T doesn't have siege tanks, yes mass baneling will eat anything because there's not enough splash to kill them, but vs siege tanks I don't get why you'd make them. | ||

Well... i think to a certain degree you just need banelings to get out enough dmg against mech before your shit is dead. But i haven't played enough successful games against good mechplay. Normally i just outplay my terran opponent or get steamrolled by well executed mechplay. On lower level you can catch a lot of tanks with banelings even if you run them in after you engaged (knowing that everything else will die as long as you get the banelinghits). I also tried some Benlingbombs but i doubt this would work against you  hell it wouldn't even work against my own mechplay as i tend to scan (so does every other halfway decent terran -.-). | ||

I got a bit late watching these awesome Day9 dailies, so I have a lot of catching up to do. And that is just fine because it will be easier for me to go through this time with no beta. P.S. Thanks again to Gridlock for giving me the invite key just a moment before I was temp-banned for participating in that Roullete | ||

I do believe banelings are a good options to blast helions when you caught them off guard with fungal growth.. Since T mech will likely push a little before you get the ultras I have to rely on lings-bane-infestors for the mean time.. | ||
