Better than dragging your whole army back to defend mutas, then having no map presence, and getting back stabbed some where else. By your logic depot walls are useless too then because you rebuild then and they just die to ling bane? >_> | ||

The thing is that Jin Air doesn't really have an ace player besides Maru, so they either gamble on sOs or pray for Maru's PvZ to improve. Though I'm still wondering why Maru went for those hellbats, I think they're just a bad choice. But since he's the progamer and I'm just the random nerd, I guess he knows what he's doing. | ||

Most korean pro terrans add 1 turret/base at most and only add lots more if they are banking alot of minerals and are already maxed. I dont know why some of you are making it sound like its obvious that you should build lots of turrets when these are the best pro gamers in the world playing 8-10 hours/day for years. They know what works and what is the best for them | ||

Yeah I would have played sOs even though he had a bad start to proleague Also sOs' 0-4 streak was partially bad luck. I think it's safe to assume he'll do better from now on. | ||

My math is correct, but it doesn't resemble the game's logic correctly. Thing is, either way, you lose 1000 minerals which can be another double dropship in your opponent's main. Basically, it's about decisionmaking: do you take the risk to lose 20scv to a muta flock (because that happens if you can't keep the pressure up and force the mutas to defend) or do you play it safe, but risk to let the zerg macro a lot more than he should/lighten the pressure that you're supposed to put on with your parade push again, TL Strategy, recruit me already! | ||

They know what works and what is the best for them You miss one important point; IF Terran pro players go mass turret: - A) They lose because their army is too small - B) They are already so far ahead they can afford the turrets to make the comeback chance smaller - C) They are probably playing Mech and not needing the Minerals. There is NO Pro Terran bio player that makes over 1/2 turrets per base, except for really open mains. A turret past 15 minutes dies in 1 salvo of mutalisk and is thus not worth the investment. | ||

Or, if we just combine your post with mine and pull a tl;dr: Aggression is terran's best defense (vs. mutas) in ZvT. | ||
