Hey guys, a lot of you are familiar with my guides on how to mech on the ladder, I wanted to be even more in depth and help out more through showing what is going on during the game and how I think about what is happening.

I double checked with an admin to make sure this was ok and it was verified! So I hope you guys enjoy a look into my mind when I play mech on the grandmaster ladder.

So some information about these is they are 99% from my point of view, I also post losses and and how I could have learned from them, my goal with these videos is to make mech more popular. I am a proud believer that excellent theory crafters can be in low leagues and given motivation and passion make great ideas. So I really want to make mech more popular and want to draw in people to help me theory craft or give feed back on the best ways to mech.

Some info about me personally, I've been meching since 1999 and I love it. I'm multi grandmaster as mech even in WOL. Where I played under vGYosho or DraGonFuRy. I'll be posting all new videos in this thread so if you want a quick reference feel free to look here and leave comments / questions.


What can you expect in these videos?

I'll definitely check them out since i just switched from BW to SC2 (Mech just feels right vs Protoss). Did you ever consider adding some reps for additional analysis?

Something I noted in your TvP game vs that barcode player was the need for a turret ring to spot for drops, wouldn't it be a little easier to use a sensor tower instead? It looked like you were doing a timing push at the 3rd expansion, i felt your push could of been a little stronger by sacrificing a few Hellbats for a few widow mines be it in your actual push, or to defend alternate routes in case of counter attacks. Overall these are really good games, im learning quite a bit.

it's not just spotting for drops that is the problem, it's flat out preventing them and mech is already really immobile. It's hard to pull back enough to stop a drop and keep your defense or push going.

Thank a lot for all the effort you put into your content you make. I have been constantly watching your replay pack, and these videos are very well made with great analysis. As a former Protoss player in WoL, trying to learn a new race in HotS has been a bit challenging to get up to a decent level. I wanted to switch to Terran because I really enjoy how mech is much improved, and your style is extremely helpful in the learning process. Thank you very much.

This is awesome, probably already watched them all on you tube anyway, but now have this thread for when I need to look at a specific match-up.

Thanks

Your games vs Zs are just brutal. I almost feel sorry for them. They just got melted by tanks,mines,missiles. It's very satisfying to watch. I want more zerg tear lol.

For more zerg tears I recommend the most recent upload, there is some bm from the zerg there.

I haven't tried mech yet, but just your tips on scouting has already won me games. For example, the oracle timings, and knowing when to throw down extra bunkers. I can't wait to actually try out mech. My biggest problem is handling harass. Left alone I can usually max out at 15 minutes, but any type of drops or oracles and all my macro flies out the window.

Yeah I dislike oracle openings a lot, it's something i had to get used to and get the timings down.

I uploaded more videos.

You already know I've watched your stuff before Mario, but can I ask, why does CatZ hate you? :p
