Gretorp how do you micro ghost marine with 1-2 marauders vs a 3 gate build, I EMP and focus zealots first like in the video, and they melt, but i usually lose too much during this period of time even though I am microing and the zeals hardly ever hit my rines before dying, the stalkers rip them apart so my army becomes so small and then his remaining stalker/sentry is enough to overpower me. Am I not microing right? Is my macro probably not perfect and therefore I have a smaller army? I did the BO you showed in the Ghost Marine video.

...erm hi TL =)

So Gretorp, I've been using your build and your thoughts and pointers have overall been very helpful to may TvP playstyle. Thanks for the enlighting inputs. (I think he should have been in the HDH Invitational )

[Q] Anyway, I ran into a game-mechanic situation, which was kinda ...surprising: I saw an observer moving across my army and wanted to get rid of it. Normally I just scan but due to the lack of spare energy on my OC's, I used EMP since it reveals cloacked units... right? It didn't work. Either this is a bug (or intended) or my micro is just too clumsy to hit a moving observer with 2 EMP's. Anybody knows this for sure (happened on my last game last night and I can't test it right away)?

You have to target below the observer.
In order to find the right position, select one of your flying units and observe the circle below it. It is the position of the unit and where you have to aim your emp.

@fafalecureuil: yeah right... same thing with psi storm & fungal growth... thanks! I fergot that porbably because I couldn't select the obs and then raged when I wasted 2 EMP's...

I feel quite stupid now that you point out the facts that I already know...

Ahh. Episode two was really great. I've had problems with TvT since I started playing. Just hate that MU so much. Hopefully this will help me some.

Wow, I watched your first two episodes, and they were pretty freaking awesome. I'm going to mass ghosts every TvP game now, lol. Good luck and I look forward to your future casts.

Great episode. My only comment will be that in Episode 2, it seems like you recorded it in two takes. The first take about TvP and the second about TvT. Whatever you did with your mic in the TvP part was WAY better than the TvT part. However, both times, the mic was way better than Episode 1. Just letting you know how things sounded.

Otherwise very interesting. I would recommend you look at the D9D #118 for TLO's new build for TvZ. He claims that he has "no idea how he'd lose with it." He seems really confident about it. Definitely something for you to look into for Episode 3!

are you sure you don't mean the mic is the other way around??? I hear it and the first mic sounds horridddd. btw it took me like 100 takes to do this episode :O!

I'm only doing my style of play and backing all my style up with theory. I have my own builds for every MU, and I have been doing these for a while now.

Neither one sounds bad, to me. It was a bit odd on the second part, though. Wasn't expecting such a big change. Sounded really different from the first.

Didn't really pay attention to the quality of your voice, sorry. Haha. Was more worried about catching all the insight into terran play, lol.

Ok, I went back and listened more closely to it. You can clearly tell the second mic is better. The sound quality is worlds better. I guess what I meant is that the second mic made you sound much different than I thought after listening to your stream and to the EU vs Asia cast. I think it's just cause the second section is a little softer, and once I turn the volume up much higher in part 2 I hear things more clearly. And now that you explain the difference in the mics, I can hear the difference. Sorry about a false alarm.

Also, the comment about TLO's game wasn't meant to be a suggestion for you to cover it during your episodes. I very much enjoy seeing your unique approach to creating builds for MUs, but I just suggested it as a resource for you to view and enjoy in case there were any interesting folds that might synthesize well into your current builds.

Hope it helps, thanks for the stream and the vids. A lot to chew on!

Gretorp how do you handle people who do very aggressive early marauder openings? People that send their first few marauders over and continue streaming them towards your base? With only 1 barracks I feel like it's difficult to keep a big enough marine count and they eventually get to 5-8 marauders or so and then either kill me or do a LOT of damage. A hellion or tank popping out doesn't help versus this type of play, and it shows up way before the banshee is anywhere close to being done.

Also, a second opening I'm having issues with is when they go aggressive bio (often marauder, but not always marauder sometimes it's a mix of marines and marauders), with a couple tanks and a fast viking, with the intent to camp out just outside your natural so that their tanks can hit your CC? I have a lot of trouble with this as well since the banshee can't get anything done with the viking sitting there, leaving me with a weaker ground force and a CC I can't expand with. I find it difficult to scout this before it happens.

In any case, I loved the episode and thought it was very informative, keep up the good work.

I just would like to put this out there that watching your stream and episodes have made me a 256.666% better terran. I admire how you try to get away with the least amount of effort in trying to counter something. I'm finally able to beat my friend who is a gold rank player consistently.

Keep the good work up!

Hey Gretorp,

Thank you so much for the information. You must be a fairly avid chess player with all your terminology.

In the TvT matchup, I got pushed on with marines + a tank right around the time my banshee hit the field. How do I fend this off? By that time I generally only have a few marines and with siege mode he can destroy me.

I'd love to hear your take on TvZ. I've seen you play it on your stream and you tend to reaper harass as an opening. Any thoughts on the TLO opening? I feel like it gives you the same options as TvT (one of each building to counter based on your scouting).

Thanks again for all you do.
