ah ok now i am confused because he had no 3rd you pushed
It doesnt depend on if he takes a third or not, it depends on many factors like army composition etc. If I know im ahead in army, tech and scvs I can afford to attack like that, if not or if Im not sure ill just go for 3 base and longer game
you must tell me how you did that on the main fight with the hellion
was it pure luck or intended that you roast like that with hellions
i mean no offense that was like 10 hellions(20 marine worth) that killed like 40 zerglings with banes i mean you let tanks look like its just for noobs to counter bane zerglings lol
i could imagine how it could happend ...
idra tried to surround the hellions tired flank got roasted and the rear army took the place of the flank units and get roasted too anyway it look like incredible and was the game winning move
what really scary on this replay is
that you got same pop as idra with 4 hatches and he was one base ahead of you
and again how did you know that you can push like that only with 4 thors why did you not wait for 6 thor did not see a scan or something
is it experience like "well he started to make muta so he has not big army and no roaches " or was it he has probably "take the third and i have a timing window when to strike "
what dont understand is.. why banshee first and not raven and then 2 banshees was the distance to great or the timing of to pull that point defense drone banshee harras
btw i would be glad if those caster would at least show the army value before the big fight starts i really wonder why nobody use that tool in replays
- hellions only are good in killing lings, dont confuse them with tanks, tanks arent good vs lings but good vs banelings
-if u watch the replay its as simple as that, i had 10 hellions with bf, i take one good splash shot which i would have done in any case and just roast many lings, thats the whole point of the hellions
-i killed some mutas whiel he tried to harras so i decided to push out with 4 thors anbd 2 more building because i had 2 pdds ready also so i was sure i could handle the mutas with good micro
- same supply doesnt mean same army worth, my army had better ups and was much better his supply was much more drones, zerg shoudl always be ahead one base vs terra anyways
-i went banshee first becauzse i thought i could do more damage vs his opening without gas and since teh distance was farther away
mhh in pack 4 and 5 u can see some builds of my own but i myslef have a hard time vs toss aswell, if it doesnt work try to resfreh or try it again in a few mins since i just uploaded it
None of the megaupload links work for me for some reason, so I can't check the replays out There's some DNS problems I understand in some countries, so we might just have to wait a few days.
i wanted to ask how you adapt if the zerg goes straight to roach/infestor into brood lord i mean with 2 shees and raven on early game you cant deal dmg since fungual
and roach..... force you to built tanks
should i wait for 200/200 with ghost support and pray that my emp will land or should i attack under 15 min ? but if i attack i am afraid of NP
about the terran games dont you feel frustrated to play like mech it look like you need to put more effort and money then he does and you barely win it
if he goes infestor i can often times do more dmg than vs mutas banshees are really good at sniping them its harder to defend banshees with inf than with roaches, but yes if he goes mass roach inf i get tanks and basically do a maxed out push with vikings air tanks and thors hopefully before he has the brutelords and gvet ghosts and more thor air heavy comp to remax
yes tvt is a pain in the ass right now, i hate to paly mech campy style but i hate to play against it aswell, i usually go for tank marine right now but i still dont know whats best to play with
take notes that I made further adjustments of this style afetr this game was played so ull prolly see a refined opening/build in the next replay pack/cast
