THIS IS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE VIABILITY OF THIS UNIT COMP. NOT BUILD ORDER/ OPENER/ STYLE

Me like many other Terrans are sick of going mass bio. So i've been working on BioMech and found out that Marine Tank Viking with Heavy Upgrades works great. Jinro has also demonstrated recently the power of PureMech with Heavy Harass.
__________________________________
My Replays- I prefer a 1 rax FE throwing down 2 more raxes and then 2 Factories(used to get 3 but cut it out for faster upgrades) and getting fast upgrades. Then adding a 4th rax and Reactors. Later adding Vikings

Replays

Currently I'm working on adding Harass and looking for timing windows. Hope these inspire someone. This is my style and currently works for me. It may not work for everyone. And i'm still improving my game by adding harass. But right now my Macro is my strongest aspect and i'm abusing that with my build.

Also if you have been watching Liquid'Tyler's Stream you will also see how alot of Korean Terrans are going Mech/BioMech.

What do you think? Personally i find these compositions viable. Yes its harder then Bio, but i believe it is necessary to learn in order to compete with Protoss L8 game. This is not to say one can't open 3rax/2rax bio and transition into Mech/BioMech. You don't have to open straight Mech.

I think it's definately viable and necessary for lategame. You can't win a maxed out fight against protoss with bio, so tanks will definately help in this case! Pure mech is awesome on maps like scrap station and steppes. It's hard on open maps like lost temple and metapolis, where toss can abuse your mobility with blinkstalker + collo.

You could not post all this in here? All those vods have been posted and there is a long discussion about the viability of mech.

Not really he's talking about his Mech replays and what he does in his build. Mine's done in a different Style/Build and i have VoDs of Jinro playing that aren't lost in a slew of posts.

If your annoyed that much i'll post what i have their. I didn't notice the discussion b/c it was off topic from the direction the OP was Taking it. Although i personally feel mine addresses BioMech better but w/e.
