Hello everyone! Forgive my english as it's not my first language.

I am a belgian gamer but I live in america. I have a wife and child and find time to stream and devote my passion to terran mech play. In 1999 I fell in love with vultures and siege tanks, this love passed over to hellions and i've just.. well always meched!

I am now Grandmaster 40 at the time of making this pack with 83? replays. I want to prove that mech is viable to everyone.
My current statistics in hots is
TvP: 16-5 76%
TvT: 13-7 65%
TvZ: 25-17 60%
My overall is 65%

As you can see zerg is my hardest matchup but I feel like I have figured out most of it. I hope you all share my passion for mech or simply love the beautifull playstyle it takes to play it.

for many wondering well... is it mech? or factory? Because many players say mech isn't such without siege tank. So I want to say that the majority of these games use mass siege tank play.

The replays are here:

or need video tutorials I put them here!

Wow sick, will definitely check out some reps.. I can't wait to see what some others are doing in HOTS. :D Mech in TvP as well? Thanks!

I would love to see you keeping these stats after the period were the game is still being figured out :D
As of now, i must say i'm already impressed. I love mech even if i don't play terran (and dislike most of them for reasons i don't get), i'm glad to see people still trying it (hello goody!) and making it work !

Thank you a lot. Did you use floating barracks in any of your games (especially TvP) to create artificial choke points and to improve your AoE damage? You have to land them before major battles happen and you'll wonder how overpowered this strategy is. They're like terran forcefields, but larger and they can really mess up the opponents unit AI badly.

Was playing bio for a while but after playing just a handful of games mech, it seems like people don't know what to do against it yet. So I could definitely see it being successful for now.

I was slowing down a lot, wol was beginning to be very dull to me but hots re kindled my love after a while. It didn't at first but once I really started playing against it just built up and I couldn't put it down.

Do you think mech TvP is actually viable, or do you think its success is just due to the protoss' not having practice vs a meching player?

I think mech is viable and close to par with bio. The difference is that bio is already figured out so it's a bit harder to mech right now. You can die to so many things if you don't know how to respond.

How are you dealing with tempests btw? I feel as if the game goes on in TvP, you are eventually going to die to the skytoss composition or the ground remax straight after the engagement.
