How are you dealing with oracle openings from P ?
Lost a couple of games to both 1 oracle, or 3-4 oracle push.
I had bunker up + mines, but mines attacked the zealots and bunker melted in seconds to the oracles. The P did a expo a little later than yours, into 3gate stargate.

HTOMARIO, i just played 2 games TVZ with your strat (I'm protoss normally) and they took me a combined 180 minutes, should i just midgame push or wait it out ? (I won in the end but it was quite taxing)

Also could u post what u think is the best latelategame army ?

You can start mid game pushing as long as they don't have broodlords. You want a few thors, 10 or so tanks, lots of mines, few vikings and lots of ravens.

fuck yeah, gonna analyze this shit. i've always liked mech a lot more than bio and HotS should make it better imo, especially against Protoss.

I just watched 2 of your TvP and only can say: LOL!!! You have changed your style a lot and I like it A LOT!!! I will post some of my replays.My unit composition is pretty much the same as yours,but my openings are different.

Your Hellion harass is incredible!!! I dont understand why arent you researching BFH.You will kill much more workers than usual(88!! in one of your games LOL).I see ghosts are not a MUST for you and its because of your harass and great macro.I can see you making another Armory and upgrading armor as well.You always got the money to do it,so I hope to see it in your future games.I will keep following you.

GG

My replays are here:

I have daybreak LE, korhal city and neo planet S LE voted out

I was hoping some of you could check the audio on this video, I heard a lot of things about the mic not working properly or something but it worked fine for me. Hopefully i fixed it. I would really appreciate the feedback on just this one video.

I really like your tvp mech opening, it gives terran the map control for mech play but I wonder how do u deal with blink all ins and proxy immortal bust. I tried getting 3 bunkers and still die to both.

how to safely secure mech plays against terran players that goes for pure bio built?

i just can't get up to perfect 3 base macro against bio terran as he is dropping everywhere.

Missile turrets are useful but they still drop units.

any replays/vods that sees terran does such things to u and u defend it nicely? :D

anyway, diamond korean terran here =/

Yes, I have problems with both blink allin and TvT vs Bio where he drops even if I have turrets.

For blink Stalkers:

To me it seems like blink allin requires you to change your build a bit (like extra rax, few bunkers, building placement, etc..). I have some success going for fast 2nd Factory and get out 1-2 Tanks immidiately, then you need few mines/hellions/marines to dance around, but do not rely on mines too much, you need them to deny Stalkers just sniping your Tanks. He is just going to pick them off as soon as his observers arrives if you place them to far from your static defense. Now the worst part is, I have no idea, when this allin stops and when he expands or not. I guess I can send 1-2 hellions to his natural, but those are usually caught by Stalkers with blink. Or I can just scan, but since I try to snipe observers and mule to get extra minerals for defense, I find myself without orbital energy at all.

vs Bio TvT:

I actually think it might be good idea to sacrifice 4-8 supply for defense with Mines in addition to Missile Turrets. In such case, you probably don't even need Sensor Tower at all. Once you defended few drops, you might just grab everything and go kill him, but I'm not sure.

I played this style in the BETA and we posted a lot about it.Mario was going for Hellbat,Thor,BAnshee,Raven and BCs skipping tanks.I feel happy,he finally discovered and proved TANKS ARE GOOD IN TVP!!! The games he lost in the replay pack are vs heavy Immoral/Archon/Zealot beacuse of the lack of ghosts and their EMPs.

Anyways I find his opening not too safe and difficult to execute for lower leagues.It requires a lot of micro and harass early game,while macroing.He does it perfectly,but we Platinum and Diamond players wont be able to do it maybe.It depends of his enemies as well and at that level Protosses arent so good but Immortal bust or Blink would be an issue I think.You will die,before your medivac reach the enemys base.I tried many BO in the BETA trying to prepare for everything: Oracle,DT,Blink,Immortal,Void ray,Xgate,proxy gate,2 base Collosi..

Thats why I open Reaper to scout the enemy and try guess what is he going for.The 9SCV scout is for cheese and proxies and if I scout 2 gas early(almos every game now because of early DTs and Oracles) I go ebay as soon as possible and turret in mineral line.Building an ebay to block their natural is nice idea as well and so you can scout their expansion timing or not and prepare for all in.The reactor after reaper helps you make non stop marines and building bunkers you can defend everything.The Factory after reactor+lab and tank building help a lot vs Blink because of the splash.Add marines and bunkers and you got it all.Even immortals will suffer to bust you with 4-5 tanks and 3 full bunkers.

The TvT drops with turret rings are almost imossible to stop.Turrets kill medivacs,but a good player will scan and use the speedvacs to drop far from the turrets in middle of your base sniping important buildings.The best way for me are widow mines and Sensor Towers.150 100 for a Tower is much better than 700 for turret rings and you sitll get dropped.If you are going mech build Vikings and send them,as well as the Hellions.Your buildings will produce units,so u may see 2-3 tanks popping out the moment the BIO player drop,so you can defend with them too.

Thx for the replay pack.
Btw I think it would be for the best to divide replays on match ups to simplify search for the desired game you wish to study.

Same here.I was watching the replays and its hard to find only TvT or TvP but finally,bit a bit I got it.

The video is OK.Nothing wrong.Keep doing this great job.I hope some Pros go and try this,so we can see it on real high Pro level...
