ZvZ +1 armor as opposed to attack. I have a feeling it would be better v Lings that are in a defensive positioning (they are arced while your attacking since it will take 9 hits to kill your lings as opposed to your lings being +1 att which makes your lings able to kill their's in 6 hits, when the base is 7 or 8 (depends on you luck with regen) but worse v. Sunkens (since they will still 2 hit) so if they expect you be a lot more defensive with that Evo Chamber it might work better. Of course you could also just do dual Evos but I think that's insanely all in and you probably would need to have a 12 hatch with heavy droning to get that to be economical (and potentially a third production hatchery might be necessary cause of heavy drones). | ||

Zerg was lax on scouting and went 3base blindly. Toss built forge in main though he could have faked a forge FE, that way it could've been more effective. | ||

It's one of the fastest +1attacks you can do. #Yeah here's the VOD: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/games/5426_Reach_vs_YellOw/vod | ||

OR have as many arbiters as terran has bases, recall carriers (and various troops) into a terran base, snipe buildings, and recall the same units into another terran base, and into another, etc. | ||

A straight up game after attacking with 12 SCVs? Why would you do that? | ||

If this is a build I think it is about, then faking a forge fe will not work. | ||

Use ghosts instead of tanks in tvz. Get range upgrade and they will outrange lurkers. This will revolutionise everything. | ||

Ya just checked Liquipedia (god it's useful) and it only increases Nuke range, not firing range. | ||

Edit:Yeah they can. So just substitute ghosts for tanks. I guess their cheaper. | ||

Here ya go: http://www.iccup.com/replays/187104.html (goddamn, hiding replays by default is retarded) Ignore the obs blahblah. Use ghosts instead of tanks in tvz. Get range upgrade and they will outrange lurkers. This will revolutionise everything. Ohmygod yes, do this! Mass ghosts to deal with lurkers + nukes for sunken break, mass carnage and taking out expos + cloaking to hunt lings and filers. | ||
