I did the math, you need 4.7 SCV's on gas and 6.4 SCV's on minerals for each barracks producing ghost, including the cost of supply depots. So you need a third for 3 barracks ghost and for 5 rax ghost you need 8 gases and 56 SCVs in total only for ghost production, without all the nukes, planetaries and upgrades. P.S. I am posting this again since last comment got deleted because I linked the tool I created and used for these calculations, I can link it in discord

Honestly, the nukes just add way too much value to just spam ghosts. 100 minerals/100 gas, to potentially kill an entire mineral line, compared to 150 minerals/125g for a single ghost. There is the cost of the academy as well to consider but that is evened out for the barracks/tech lab. I would say a 1 to 1 ratio, an academy for every barracks.

@alotofswaghaver

so basically 8 gas can barely produce 5 rax of ghosts, 7 gas for 4 rax and 5 gas for 3 rax. 1 Barracks per base actually works out pretty well.

@vladG51

2 жыл бұрын

yeah, I think 1 rax per base is a good rule since all the gas won't go into ghost production, so infrasturcture, upgrades, planetaries and nukes will be actually afordable Edit: On 4 base fully saturated gas economy you can spam Nukes from 3 academies with constant 4rax ghost production, but with no gas left

The year is 2029. The TvZ meta has evolved dramatically with everyone using Ghost style all the way from the opener. Terrans do mass Ghost and mass Planetary only. People get called scrubs for making Marines. The outcome of most high level TvZs now hinges 100% on whether Zergs can successfully use burrowed Infestors with Neural Parasite to use a Ghost to EMP the other Ghosts. People are screaming Terran OP, pls nerf.

Dont ever stop talking in ur videos! Right now ur doing it well and bc of that its really entertaining. Beastyqt kinda had the problem that he was so focused that he couldnt speak anymore (while properly playing). Even in 1v4s u speak to us all the time, its actually insanely great.

If he built the BC from the start it would have died probably, he started a raven and after about 2 seconds cancelled into a BC.

This series has reignited my love for "watching" the game, thank you for the content.

The beauty of launching several nukes at once is that there's something like a downtime on the alert unlike in SCBW where even if it is 0.1s apart you will get all alerts play on top of each other.

I think I have figured out the most effective way to persuade Maru to participate in the 25k subs showmatch based on the first game against zerg, you should just ask him like, "Hey, remember the GSL Finals when Rogue owned you with non-stop roaching 3 games in a row? I got you covered. Meet. The. Build."

actually laughed so hard when he perma EMP'd that CC. LOL

watching your evil cackle is so therapeutic it almost makes me believe i can do this myself LOL

When he EMP'd the CC my sides left the atmosphere. Never would have imagined that ending up being the game winning move.

That has got to be the most painful loss in that guy's SC2 career. Even his army 2x 3x your size couldn't even scratch yours in a head on fight....damn.

You make really good content, enjoy watching your vids a lot! Great episod, I watched the moment you sniped all the hydras like 20 times, hilarious :D

You make the most addicting videos. I love it!

Been enjoying this series, keep up the good vids. Also a suggestion to add to this series, "bomb them back the stone age" nuke all of the tech or production structures in a sneak attack late game opportunity. Cheers

U got me hocked with the ghost titles , so much fun am watching the whole thing everytime

inspired by you marc, I've tried nuking 2 base at the same time and it works every time

It was entertaining, thanks for uploading!

the first orbital emp felt like a "win more" move, you could outmicro and win the fight even if he scanned... and with the way you stayed in turret range he didn't need to scan. the second one was clutch tho

Watching old videos to get over the uThermal turkey. Get well soon!

New Sub! great content man!

this is the best starcraft content like ever!!!

6:00: build engine bay so the ghosts can consume them for energy. Also really interested to see how far you can go with just ghosts.

I already loved your videos. But ghost to gm ... Theses are over the top cool. Keep the good work!

By the end of the year you will more likely get 100k subs than 25 ;D Great Videos mate

That's how you nuke! Beasty taught me that haha - load a medical full of cloaked silent ghosts, sneak into the main, EMP the orbitals and launch 3-4 nukes just like that haha

9:50 Both literally and figuratively the cleanest execution yet..

Loving the series

best series ever !!!!

scv army with the ghosts can be extremely effective...also a good way to dump minerals along with PFS and OC

I dont even play the game, no idea how I found this but incredibly entertaining!

Dude that first game nukes were so satisfying xdd the overlords dying em mass was like 🤤

Another great episode.

hell ye new ghost to gm episode

BeastyQT has several epic ghost challenges and he did the EMP orbital trick several times. Worth a watch but he has moved on from SC2 for the time being. Glad to see another channel doing challenges like him.

Truly some spec ops plays, nuke into the base emp detection nuke again

mind blown. never have i thought about EMP a orbital command

Those were some top games

Nuke every base at same time? Now Mengsk is Approve this action~

i rarely use ghost, and i never use their ability, this convince me to have some fun with them now, thank you for enlighten me

holy shit the emp at the cc was soo good hahahaha.

The hydra zerg just wanted to show off his new skin.

Game one bro *chefs kiss*

EMP the orbital blew my mind ^^

31:38 That did look bad, but you held with so few units. I'm starting to think Ghosts are really OP lol

I feed off their salt...Brutal!

the best way to punish an ebay or pylon block as a terran is just to build the command center next to it they'll get the message lol

sentry, oracle, mothership, and raven are psionic too :O:O

would be awesome if you got maru for the showmatches! Also great video Marc!

25k huh? Congrats on the 60k

These cheeses are both entertaining and educational

These series is specially so satisfying against Zergs

Yo Marc. You should definitely try to get Maru for your 25k subs. And we can all together raise the money 💪 P.S. I love the ghost siereis, and hope to see in the future some marine siereis. You said once marines would be too ez for you ,but I'm pretty sure alot of your viewers would love to see our beloved Marines to GM ..... maybe make it harder, like without Medivacs or something like that.

That bunker survived a nuke

Ghost vs Ghost sounds interesting. Could ghosts clear the distance to attack with their base attack before snipes land? Because if so, that would get you a head start. I guess sniping with just a few ghosts and auto attacking with the rest might be the best but I haven't tried it

If that high ground nuke had been 1 second later, it would've hit the BC...

Now, I would like to see a bunker rush with ghost only.

You know, this ghost opener actually does a lot more damage than most reaper openers do...i wonder if this could be used a bit more mainstream and then just flow into a more standard build.

Since minerals is not an issue, would the old trick of droping mules to bait the tank shots before going in with the ghosts help? One less shot makes quite a difference...

That BC almost died to nuke when it spawned 😅

Missed opportunity... the bunker for ghosts is actually a ghosthouse...

What a god

would be funny if emp would reveal burrowed units too :D if fungal can do it, why not

I've been noticing a lot of graphical bugs in sc2 lately (3:34) like overlords showing for half a second on screen, unit glitching through fog of war at the edge of your vision...

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of ( I understand it isn't your creation, just venting lol). I can see that vs other races (still dumb) but Terran is never going to move down to kill the engi bay until their second is ready to fly down and at that point they'll have a siege tank in the main. The 3 rax reaper read is super easy so there is no way they move down with everything just to kill the ebay.

After the last ghost episode where you nuked the hell out of a terran but still lost, I thought to myself: 'uthermal should have emp'ed the command center' -- I love that I'm like the 1000th person to have that thought. Diamond terrans a dime a dozen on here hahah. Great show.

I've never seen anyone fly away with the cc to avoid a nuke. Vs zerg you should be afraid of banelings but I'm not sure how afraid exactly.
