this is amity.mEtRo aka koKo, but you can call me alex. :D I'm a GM Terran Player on the EU Servers getting matched vs top 100 GM guys. My style is very unusual and I have much succes with it. I often compete in tournaments and already made it to the finals of 4pl cc cup and semifinals of Go4SC2 and CraftCup.
Alot of people have asked me if I could upload a replay pack because I often use uncommon styles in all matchups. I currently play terran on GM lvl and often face very good opponents like EGIdrA, Kiwikaki, Grubby, Bratok etc. on ladder.
So heres some stuff from the last few days, games played on EU servers.
PACK 5: [url blocked]
REPLAY PACK 4 SPECIAL RAGE EDITION: :D [url blocked]
----->>> [url blocked] <<<-------- REP PACK 1 from May 2011
---->>> [url blocked] <<<-------- REP PACK 2 from June/July 2011
new replays including the first loss of JULYZERG!!! on EU servers coming soon, he won vs sjow and whitera before me but couldnt handle me and is now on 32:1 ratio :D
Not hatin', just curious, why are there always people with 1-20 comments commenting on replay packs, stream advertisments and such? I'll download the pack and see if I can find something interesting, thanks.
i have a very small but close fanbase on my stream, and some of those guys are so awesome they even registered just to post a comment here if ur interested in ususual playstyles ull definatly find somethiong interesting
Hello metro ! I've watched your stream last 2 weeks and now something tells me that I definitely have to post something here I was sure that hellions are awesome but each time I tried to use them I got some roach bust or 4gate in my face which makes me wonder how the hell to use them effectively. So when I saw you using them, some stars appeared in my eyes ^^ (although I still miss broodwar's vultures and spider mines which were imo as joyfull as mixing bf hellions and burrowed bannelings tt) I'm also fan of ghosts and ravens so if you have some strats with them I would love to see that :D But maybe you should start to recover your faith against protoss So keep up the good work and next time you'll win the craftcup even if a pro proxies you !
haters gonna hate syck, make a note that I dont pick the games to cast if u dl the pack u can also check out longer games, make also note i only do allins vs zerg, its not my fault terran or toss "pros" cant handle the pressure early on ;O

woah, kinda reading into his post arent you? :D He wasnt hating, he just said all games were short. But the fact that you got so defensive says something, doesnt it? Thanks for the replays and VODs, gonna watch em now
i know syck and his opninion on the game, so i know what he ment and its obviously not hard to read at all what he wanted to say, u kinda read into it too huh :D? the games that are casted are short, yes but its a difference if you go allin and the attack works and if it didnt u would loose, or if u totally destroy the other player and its not even close at all and even in later game i would have been so far ahead and thats the case in most games, and i hate it if players want to take the credit off wins just because its short games, its a differnce if its allin or if its short and ull definatly see that in the vods and replays

I never tried to take credit away from your wins O.o but im having a hard time understanding what you're trying to say (sorry its late and im sleepy) do you mean that you dont start with the plan to finish quickly, you end the game fast only when you see the opportunity? Either way it sounds like you think im trying to insult you or be rude or something, thats not true at all, sorry if i sounded rude. In fact I thanked you for the replay and VOD uploads
the comment i made about taking credits away was on syck not on you, what i ment is that the comment of syck sounded like i only win with allins, but thats not the case on most games, the games are short because they werent even close and if tarson moves out and looses his whole army and i know im so far ahead, i end teh game instead of letting him come back, in all my tvts and tvps i dont have the plan to finish quickly, i always take a very fast cc vs toss and and normal timed cc vs terra, so yeah, most games are short because my build/execution is just superiour to their build/execution
i never thought u wanted to insult me just wnated to make my post to syck clear
aaaalsooo dont only thanks me but also the great and upcomming caster titusstarcraft, i messaged him send him some replays and he started to support me with his really great cast, i think he should be definatly better known
why are there so much haters around? i mean look at your signing "eat shit and die"?! really, I mean common lol :D apart from that if u would have watched more than teh 2 zerg games u would see I always go fe vs toss and never do a 1 base allin push vs terra ;(
actually I woudl love to compete at the highest lvl with a pro team, but since im studying which takes up alot of my time, i think i wont be able to do that
i just read the whole thread and noticed some hate... my only opinion is that taking wins against such high profile players is for sure something to give credit for, imagine him being full-time pro and his creative all ins...
You sound so much like psystarcraft. Why doesn't toss have such players T_T. Great videos so far, I'd love a replay pack with the latest patch. Cheers.
hey kage, the ncaster in the videos is actually not me but a friend of mine titus starcraft, good friend of mine, glad u enjoyed the videos ill get out a new rep pack asap
unfortuantly i got kicked out by a korean toss from zenex today, but ladder after was a huuge succes thanks again everone tuning in think i nearly got enough material for rep pack 3
Hi guys I'm the caster of all of Metro's games i hope you all enjoy the casts and more will be up shortly! Metro is a great guy and is going to be a top world player soon =). If you would like to see more of metros games/more great pro commentaries go check me out at;
Haven't seen him stream before but he's having fun owning it up as a GM. Entertaining streamer indeed, Props. You will both enjoy and learn some strategical play. Absolute must watch for Terrans who would like a different perspective on the game.
Thanks a lot! You've been really inspiring to me with your hellion/marauder build against july! Such an eye-opener and good build I'm curious to what other builds are in this replay pack!
Awesome german Terran to watch, amazing mechanics! Stream is good quality and he interacts with chat I will be watching this stream every chance I get!
Been watching mEtRoSG for over a week now and one of the best on TL. Tells you what he did right and wrong in a match. Not many people will do that while streaming.

Really nice stream with good comments, nice gameplay and interaction with viewers. A good gm so !! Go and watch people ! Also the replays pack help a lot to understand his playing and improve.
Another amazing day of streaming! I really wish more people would come watch this grandmaster terran play - his play style is unique, he has great control and interacts with the stream (occasionally even playing team games with the viewers!). Definitely the next up-and-coming Terran out there!
yeah, i think bf now is only worth it when teh zerg heavly depends on mass lings to counter this build like idra tried to do otherwise the hellions are basically to containa nd only to soak up dmg in teh main fight after, glad u liked it
i watching the dimaga cast and i really wonder ....
how can you push so confident without tanks
i mean like the caster said dimaga just a-moved
what would happend if he focused the thor one by one do you consider to built maybe a medivac to save thors that get focused and lift/drop them behind in order to get repaired ? or is too much pain in the ass to micro single thors out
i mean i can kinda understand why no tanks because you have this death ball of 150 pop before 15 min mark but its still feel like "if the zerg player had played better.... it would be failed!"
i know its was no all in at all and the next step would be to secure the imba gold but.... and why the vikings ? for dmg boost vs muta ???
do you had ever encountered that the zerg had fast tech to brood lord/roach ? and if yes was your army enough to kill them i know it sounds crazy but if you could built up such scary force why should dont the zerg too
im confident to push because i saw he had no third up yet so i can get cos effective with that push and not take too much of risks also my amors ups finished, also yeah the vikings are the damage boost against the mutas teh onyl proibelm thors ahve that they take too log to kill mutas on their own in a straithup fight vs roach alone they do pretty well

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
