But that's really just wishful thinking because it ain't going to happen anytime soon. By the time any of the top SC1 korean progamers switch to SC2 we'll be MANY patches ahead of where we are now, so I don't really see Tester's point. Who cares if in patch 11 or whatever Terran has the greatest potential. What happens if Terran gets nerfed by patch 25 or whenever Flash finally does play SC2? Why speculate about shit that just can't happen? | ||

I think his meaning was "You scout, and if he's rushing Void Rays to the point where he has no defense, you go roll him. If he slowed down his build to incorporate a safe number of stalkers, you bunker up and you'll have time to get Vikings." It works because you scout his army composition and size beforehand. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question. | ||

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question. I am only a gold player but when I do my standard 4 rax fe the void rays come out at about 30 supply and I don't think you would really have a chance of going that build unless you knew before hand that he was doing that. Not maybe if you were going a 3 rax build with gas at 13 you could get the tank out but it would still be close. I think the air usually comes out at about 6:30 minutes, the map would have to be pretty small to get there in time. | ||

Ghost nullify immortal shields and cut stalker total hp in half. Tanks then just evaporate them. They do a flat 60 damage to everything in seige mode. In other words, they kill 2 shot stalkers that have been EMPed and can 5 shot immotals that have been EMPed. Going mech is all about positioning and getting those EMPs off. | ||

Not like he sits on a forum all day whining about shit like 90% of the people here do. He just answered a question. | ||

Isn't Tester's suggestion to push out like you would with FD, with marines out of ONE barracks, and a a tank from a factory? I don't see how this has to do 4rax or 3rax builds off 1 base. | ||

Watch any professional talk about the things he does to a bunch of rooks, he has every right to act elitist. In artosis case elitism isn't even slightly annoying, I believe you have to be really insecure to accuse him of acting the way he does. Artosis hasn't changed and he's exactly the man that we all love. | ||

I doubt you can get all that out before they can get the void rays though. | ||
