Hello,

Day[9] did a daily on Strelok's TvP Hellbat/Tank Mech. It seems like a nice introduction to how tank-based mech works.

Hi fellow Mech-Fans,

i just watched through 6 sets of Clanwar-Replays from the ATC and found 4 pretty nice mechgames. These include 3 TvT's and one TvZ. Since the op-spoilers are pretty empty, maybe kollin can add these replays there

All Replay-Packs can be found here:

all acer teamstory cup replays


Packs, that contain the games (direct download at rapidshare):

Millenium vs MvP
Millenium vs K3
K3 vs Quantic


TvT:

Hellion-Elevator into Mech

(T)Dayshi vs (T)Bang

Not the most entertaining game, because its decided pretty early, but shows a nice and smooth transition into midgame-mechplay.


Factory-Expand into Hellbat-Drops

(T)ForGG vs (T)LucifroN

Really nice showcasing of this build since both open exactly the same. The build starts to differ, when ForGG opts for Vikings where LucifroN gets an ebay and turrets up - leaving him with more Gas and though a higher tankcount.
(LucifroN plays this build also vs Quantic (T)Apocalypse).

build
(since its really solid and popular atm i wrote it down)

+ Show Spoiler +
10 Depot
12 Rax
13 Gas
15OC
get 2 Rines
18 Fax -> Reactor on Rax
20 CC
get 2 Hellions followed by 2 Widow Mines
~32 get Starport and Armory
constant mechattack-upgrades
Start 3rd at ~8:45 inbase
prepare some dropdefense (ebay/turrets or vikings)
add 4 fax
pump tons of tanks/hellbats + some vikings from 3 techlabs/ 2 reactors



Sick Hellbat-Drop-Cheese

(T)LucifroN vs (T)Center

This build is for sure one of the most all-inny 1base-plays a terran can pull off atm. Lucifron gets 2 Vacs and 4 Hellbats out at 6:45 ready for take-off. In addition he can instantly start the 2nd round and has +1 attack on the way.(in comparison to the standard fast hellbat-drops its 15 secs earlier and has the upgrade on the Way)

Keep in mind, that this build keeps you without any defense vs early aggression since its going gas first and only gets out a single marine^^

build
(for those who are interested in total coinflips)

+ Show Spoiler +
10 Depot
12 Gas
13 Rax
16 OC
17 Factory
17 2nd Gas
-> send the rax to scout
19 Starport
20 Armory
build Reactors on the Factory and the Starport immediately
get +1 attack as soon as armory finishes
go with 2 vacs and 4 hellbats at 6:45
get the 2nd drop



TvZ:

Gasless expand into Hellbat-Drops
(T)LucifroN vs (Z)HyuN

And again an expand-opening showcased by LucifroN. This time going to roast tons of drones. he applies pressure throughout the whole game and is goind for a Thor/Hellbat-Style. Since the opening is not that exciting i didnt feel to write it down. just gets 4 marines and bunker goes into reactor, adds factories and a starport and an armory.


so far
meepz


ps: i really hope mech gets a little bit more popular in the future. but atm i can only find hellbat-drops into mech.
skill is luck becoming a habit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i will publish my "all mech matches" exel file soon.. like in WoL

What do you prefer against a Roach/Hydra/Viper Army?

Should i play Tank+Hellbat+Viking/Raven or Pure Tank+Viking/Raven or should i build mines instead of hellbats?

I prefer the easiest way. I prefer starting aggression early enough in TvZ to deny zerg the macro to support mass roach/hydra. That means I use bio. But tank-hellbat-viking should be the strongest if you want to use mech.

Hey, I've been looking for new mech build on Akilon Wastes so I wrote up some replay summaries for all the games in this replay pack on that map.

Akilon Wastes 1: TvT, 13 gas 1 Rax Repear FE into Reactor Hellion, into Cloak Banshee. Opponent misses a lot of SCVs due to Repear micro, Mario outmacros and stomps with Hellion/Banshee attack.

Akilon Wastes 2: Disconnect.

Akilon Wastes 3: TvT, Opponent does a proxy 12/17 2 Rax. Mario's 16 supply SCV scout spots it as the first Rax finishes, shuts it down hard, gg.

Akilon Wastes 4: TvT, 13 gas Reactor Hellion expand into Starport, Mario plays defensive up to 200 supply with Hellbat/Tank/Viking vs a passive opponent going Marauder heavy Bio/Tank. Mario gets into a nice siege position on the enemy third completely uncontested, gg.

Akilon Wastes 5: TvZ, 13 gas Reactor Hellion expand. Enemy goes for a successful 2 base roach timing. Mario holds but Zerg gets 20 worker lead. Follow up Roach push with 1/1 and Overseers to spot mines wipes out Mario's production, but 2 Cloak Banshees kill a ton of Drones to somewhat even the odds. Banshees eventually clear out the Roaches because of no anti air. Zerg goes to 4 bases very quickly, uses Muta+Hydra to deny Mario's 3rd base, but Mario eventually gets it up. Mario goes Hellbat+Thor, Zerg switches to Swarm Host/Roach/Hydra but plays passive and allows Mario to trade very efficiently up to 200 supply of mostly Raven/Mine. Zerg throws the game by making a series of bad decisions (at one point morphing all 15 Corruptors into Broodlords while having no antiair vs Mario's Raven+Viking). Mario wins this surprising game.

Akilon Wastes 6: TvZ, 13 gas Factory expand into uncloaked Banshees. Zerg turtles on 2 bases by suiciding tons of Zerglings against Widow Mines. Zerg goes mass 2 base Muta, but Turrets and Thors are up. Zerg could've won easy if they commited 14 Mutas vs the first Thor, but they dither and get worn down by Widow Mines and Turrets. Hero Mine blocks the Zerg 4th for a long time. Zerg continues going pure Muta/Ling but doesn't micro at all and loses huge packs of units to Thors and Widow Mines. Mario gets up to 200 supply of Hellbat/Mine/Thor and just facerolls the Zerg.

Akilon Wastes 7: TvZ, 15 gas 1 Rax FE into Marine/Tank. Zerg attempts a weird 2 base Roach/Bling bust, it breaks down Mario's wall and he loses all his SCVs. Mass Widow Mine eventually kills everything due to no detection, but the Zerg gets Lair for Overseers and then rolls over Mario.

One of the few that actually talks about Tank positioning, arguably one of the most important aspects of mech. Great guide!
