Probably your best guide yet. A few notes: 1. Don't apologize for pausing often and over-analyzing your decision process, it's a big part of what makes the guide useful, and it's essential to improve. 2. Being flexible in regard to the build and its adaptation depending on the map, opponent's build etc is a huge plus. Too often I've tried a build from a guide only to get destroyed by a non-standard build/move from the opponent. As a M3 scrub I'll definitely make the banshee every time since roach timings are so common at this MMR range. 3. I'd agree that your version of the build without the 5th gas and the early 4th is superior, but again it's still useful to mention the Korean alternative and explain its pros and cons vs your version of the build. 4. The advice regarding positioning before the fight is incredibly helpful and something I also didn't properly understand, but it made total sense with the example at the end. Focusing on common misconceptions is an excellent way to get people to actually improve. 5. I now feel secure with my dirty secret of F2+stiming anytime I smell blood in the water. I'm gonna smash some zerg windows now.

Probably your best comment yet. A few notes: 1. Don't worry about seeming longwinded; channels need informed opinions, from subscribers who actually watch and enjoy their content, it's a big part to growing the channel and it's essential for constant improvement. 2. Being receptive in regard to the information provided and its implementation depending on the length of the video and the quality of the audio is a huge plus. Too often channels don't provide enough visual/audio stimulus only for the viewer to tab out and watch another video. As a new viewer I'll definitely make a note to come back to this channels uploads in the future. 3. I'd agree that this version of analysis post-game, without the stress of entertaining a live audience, allows for more introspection, but again it's still useful to listen to the Live alternative and explain in the moment decisions and analysis. 4. The advice regarding the channel's video and what was done correctly, improves the channel's understanding of how well future videos will be received. Focusing on common improvements is an excellent way to get people to actually watch. 5. I now feel secure scrolling down to the comments section after the video to be greeted by grade A commentors such as yourself. I'm gonna subscribe now.

NOTE: if you could also add the build order in detail it would be really helpful, at least for me! thx

I have a great winrate against zerg now in my MMR range (D1 - 78%) due to your guides and I'm looking forward to adding this one. This is brilliant and I like the look of this style a lot. I noticed I need to be more aggressive and this looks like a great build to help me with that. With your comments on positioning before fights against ling bane, I wonder how it differs when it's ling hydra bane if at all? I wish my winrate versus protoss was better. When I get the chance to execute your build without some funky stuff from the protoss I stomp and it doesn't feel like a contest. Or I do enough damage that when I have 2-2 I already have enough vikings or ghosts to deal with their army. But if it's not blink stalker expand and I can't push out before their third is set up then by the midgame I find I'm a little behind and it snowballs from there really quickly.

Thats a fast push, nice. Worked a couple of times if I dont forget to scout^^ I love the feeling when you reach an advantage against zerg and just start to parade the reinforcements over the map.

Great vid. Could you show us how to 2 rax reaper? You showed us how to counter proxy reaper with it but not how to normally use the build. Your insight on the ability to defensively pressure would be interesting.

ty uthermal

Love this content

Woa, i didnt know uThermal had a channel, fresh sub over here :D im zerg main dou

This has the potential to become a great series, if it already isn’t!

Could you make a guide for 2rax expand in TvT? like if you see 2 gas how many reapers do you make what is the followup etc. what against reaper fe etc would really appreciate since your guides are so amazing!

I like having two factories making siege tanks. Better to sacrifice barracks number or scv/4th base for that?

Hi uThermal! TY for the guides, they've been so helpful in mix and matching strategies! Question though similar to the muta one - if zerg instead decides to mass muta and less on baneling (I'm in that MMR), and dives in on my bases, is it better to get a thor or still mines + marines + turrents should do? I like thors but they're slow and reduces my tank count. My fear is I'd have to go back to defend, or end up with a base race. PS. Please keep overanalyzing because its the content we're looking for! :)

uthermal youre awesome man

How about making defensive bunkers like at the 4th base? When I push they often have those 10-12 lings, or is this build so aggresive they can't do that? Awesome video 12/10

Thanks for the content Thermy, the tip on how to execute the push is really useful! It seems kinda like you play marine tank (at least in this 8rax semi-allin) the way most people play bio mine, big presplits but the factory units are expendable, is that correct? If I'm understanding then, with a 1fact tank midgame, you just want to force the zerg to engage through a "tank field" (like a mine field), and the tanks exert slightly more pressure than mines pre-fight because of their range? Is that a good way of understanding the concept behind how to take the engagement? This differs from a 2 fact tank midgame since with 2 facts, the tanks become the major dps dealers?

@uThermal

Tanks are mostly there to force zergs to split and lower the baneling count before they get to your marines. With double factory tank you play a very slow style and you leapfrog/try to hold a certain position opposed to this bulldozer kill the zerg fast style :P

Hey thank you for the build :) How do you react if it's 3 bases with relatively fast mutas ? do you stay home / add factory / try to push in ?

@uThermal

4 жыл бұрын

The same, but pushing early with the 1/1 might be a little bit risky. Also I'd recommend never dropping with more than 1 medivac vs mutas, 1 medivac drops are really good because you can pull the mutas back for little investment.

I need to learn more about bio... I tend to always go heavy mech with no early game at all...

What to do vs mutas in this build?

With the new meta zergs are now going heavy roach ravager hydra into lurkers, do you have a standard build to beat thse?

I'm picking SC2 back up after a long time and I was never great at getting multiple build order seamlessly into my playbook. At lower MMR would you feel comfortable running this against 'toss as well?

Any off the cuff recommendations for how to adjust the early game for the different matchups with the same end goal, or just a way to turtle until you're ready to push? I'm wood tier so I'm not expecting a lot of tricky play outside of cheesy all-ins

what a god

I love Terran school

So this is why Terran has suddenly be so aggressive. I’ll keep to my fast hydra/lurker/bane build.

Great video! I actually have been playing a similiar style, but with your video I realized that I was doing some things wrong. I'd also like to hear your opinion on switching to mines sooner, in this case you kept tank production for a long time, if I'm up against ling bane muta, maybe adding another factory after the 1-1 push, maybe taking the 5th/6th gas for the widow mine thor production. What do you think?

It should look like it did in the video for his scout with both the scv and the reaper. You can tell by the reaper based on the amount of creep there (theres little or no creep for the reaper too see depending on how early, incase you just reaper scout)

Keep the reaper home so you cant get your natural delayed by lings, get a cyclone to deny overlord highground vision, bunker or two reactored marines be ready to pull svcs to repair. Depends alot on exactly what it is tbh and how committed it is. 2. Start a gas on your nat that lines up with your nat cc finishing. I think like 25 supply or so would be good, havent tested that alot (ur nat finishes at 27 W/ standard 16/16) 3. You can pull scvs to kill it, it can be a fake so you pull scvs and lose eco, or it can be to make roaches and queens from it, you can tell by what you scout. If theres no nat and an early pool/roach warren its an all in and has to die

He doesnt focus on killing creep, is that normal?

nice.

hah,i remember the super super fast 3cc variation of this. the one that you and innovation used on thunderbird at homesory cup,and if i remember correctly you both got serral with it i instantly copied it back then and still go for it time to time,altough that variation doesn't rly fit the map pool anymore what do you think about 3cc 2-1-1 tho? i went back to it,and it's been amazing at the 5.5k level,but i dont see any pros using it anymore so it must have its downsides,do you know what it is? i find it great because it has different variations,4 hellion 16 marine attack,or you can even go 4 hellbat 16 marine,or the most extreme version i came up with is 4 hellbat 4 wm 24 marine attack/drop(it seriously halts the production and upgrades,so its kind of a 3 base all in)
