There are many types of graffins, the tall ones survive and others fall. In starcraft 2, overcloaked terran players survive in the tournaments while slower or outdated ones fall apart.(mech sucks) For protoss, who make carriers fall.

Really enjoyed the interview, looking forward to the next part of the series. Seems topical with the as-yet-unknown potential mech buff(s) incoming...

Should i do the same than him, because i'm using Mech + banshee -> raven -> sky since 2011 then and even made the only big guide about it in the worst mech MU? It's not "fair" not to give credits to me, right ? --'

He's not just trying to "get credit". He's trying to pull all credits and attention about this subject to himself, and basically want to get crowned as the king, god, savior and only important user of Mech since Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty came out. HTOMario,Strelok, Mvp, Lagforce, Goody, myself, all the others... all these players who participated to Mech at their respective levels, in their made some innovations and popularized some things, in avilo's world, they don't exist, or they only got inspired by his own genius

Using it once before it became popular on stream =/= Being the first to do it constantly =/= invented =/= popularized =/= made it used by pros. Some people should realize that, and some people should figure out what "multiple parts" means, since it was said a couple times by the op..

The content itself is nice and it would be stupid to turn another mech-based discussion into an avilo praise/hate-thread

if you can do better then i suggest you start streaming and promoting mech yourself. Avilo might be a little arrogant but i know some people who have been inspired by him. who have you inspired? stop trying to get people down to your level with your hate and envy. hes just trying to get some recognition. after all, why do we play this game for? for sure its not to get bitched on by some random dude on a forum.

Erhm. Lyyna did a lot for mech users, if you don't know him doesn't mean he's unknown for everyone. Check his mech guide and see how many feedback he got.

Gosh people these days are so self centred.

Avilo is right, you should mention TLO, the man who basically played everything in the WoL beta and therefore should be called the innovator of basically anything.

The entire concept of "Mech Player" makes me laugh... We are just terran players and have to be good with mech, bio and biomech.

It would be like me writing an article about the DT/Corsair innovation in TvP brood war, and then mentioning every Protoss that has ever used it...except the man...bisu -_-


Yes you're just like Bisu >.>

Except I'm pretty sure that the Bisu Build wasn't TvP lol...


Avilo is partly right, the Bisu build was primarily used PvZ, but then it was used by others PvT, the goal was to use the corsair disruption web to stop tank from firing, while protoss forces would then destroy them (almost no one used corsair except for scouting)

I think you missed DarkPlasmaBall's point lol. It was likely Avilo was talking about PvZ since that's primarily where it's used(it's rare to see corsair/dt in PvT nowadays if you've been watching BW(and even in the past, it wasn't popular by any stretch of the imagination)). Either way, just felt I should point this out.

good job Yosho, you clearly deserved the recognition. Over the last year you have transformed from this

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=&t=c&f=-1&u=yosho&gb=date&d=

to the all humble, blame yourself always before balance, modern mechanic HTOMario. What a personality (and gameplay) overhaul you have gone through.Bravo!

Avilo's main problem was that he never went through a personality change like you since Hots was released. He prefers to work on his mech play like he has done so since WoL beta.

Btw I don't think you can legitly get to rank 28 gm w/ random, since you have already been caught by Yume for getting boosted into gm.

http://www.reddit.com/r/AllThingsTerran/comments/1h3j6j/htomario_possibly_boosted_to_gm_verify/

It is sad that baseless witch hunts forced players like EmpireMista to retire, yet legit claims like this is simply glossed over by the community when the target is someone with a nice guy reputation and having built a strong group of followers.

Thank you for all the positive feedback, it is saddening to see after a lot of effort that some people want to detract from what will be a good series of write ups. We look forward to bringing more articles to the TL community on the topic of mech.

I liked the interview, but i have some criticism. The only player from the ones you mentioned that had any real success with mech was GoOdy, mostly during WOL where he won a lot of smaller tournaments. Strelok had some good games in WCS.

As far as genuinely good and "innovative" Terran players that made mech work at the high level, both in WOL and HOTS, there is only one and that is MVP.

In HOTS at the highest level mech just doesn't really exist outside of TvT (with the exception from MVP in a few TvZ). There is no such thing as "Modern Mechanic".

So in essence i like the interview but i dislike the presentation.

I thought this was going to be ABOUT Avilo..... you really begged the question by leaving him out. His commitment to "Mech" is unparallelled, irregardless of what anyone thinks of him.

His TvT vs Minigun last night proved Avilo has "a certain set of skills"

Anyways, I know there's more to come, look forward to it.

Trying to get some recognition doesn't mean coming into a thread and whining like a 12 year old kid because he wasn't mentioned.
