Is mech viable? When can I use it?
- Mech is viable, it is good in TvZ if you can turtle to mass ravens it is good in TvT on maps with easy to secure bases think akilon of last patch. I do not recommend mech in TvP
How good do you think proxy 2 racks is? Or are other strats superior?
- 2rax is good for metagaming protoss in tournaments, I have a 100% winrate with 2rax on Polar Night because of 3 bunker wall, TvT also can be used for metagaming
Mech or Bio right now, or even Bio Mech. Thoughts on the styles and any advice for lower league people as to which one they should be playing?
Is there a reason you prefer one style over the other, if you do prefer a certain style.
Also, late game in each match up, what are the ultimate ideal end game compositions?
Also, late game in each match up, what are the ultimate ideal end game compositions?
- Bio mine in TvZ Bio in TvP Bio tank/Mech in TvT, i think bio/tank is better in this one.
- If you're getting to the late game in any match up you're doing it wrong, as a Terran player up until the highest levels 90% of games will end by the mid-game. Just focus on how you can end the game faster, Terran is a timing based race so hit those timings and hit them as hard as you can.
With 15 gas expand into reactor hellions, how do you hold gas first banshee into 1 base marine tank banshee all-in?
- Take a 2nd gas after your CC finishes, only make 4 hellions and send them to watch towers to see where banshee is coming, after you start your viking start a techlab on rax and swap the starport & barracks after viking finishes to make a raven. After your barracks is finishing making that techlab, make another techlab. During this process do not make an e-bay or turret, just handle the banshee with marine viking + saved scans. Once your barracks has finished making the 2nd techlab swap it with the reactored factory and start making marines + a tank, you'll also want a bunker at your natural and when they come pull SCVs to repair. When your hellions @ watch tower spot them moving out gather all 4 and run around into their main, they wont have anything to defend and it puts their push on a clock.
- Overall it's much easier to do the gas first banshee so I recommend you do that instead, the method I recommended above is the best way to hold it but also requires hours and hours of practice.
a) what do you think about maru? who is your favorite terran to watch and why? (whats so great about inno!)
- a) maru has good mechanics but has a very weird playstyle, is extremely hard to predict and is an extremely aggressive timing based player. My favorite T is innovation because he plays the game like FlaSh would in BW, always standard but wins based on good decision making and build orders.
b)do you ever find yourself grinding ladder without improving and how do you adjust your practice?
- B) I don't have much time to grind perse so usually this isn't an issue for me, whenever I get skill blocked I take a step back, re-evaluate my play and watch more vods!
c)ok this isn't a question but stephano was basically you in the wc3 scene (young dude who practiced really hard and stayed on his grind) and then grew up to be the first foreign bonjwa in sc2. basically he wasn't naturally talented as everyone said, he earned that intuition. thoughts on this comparison?
- C)I think in general for a foreigner to be good at the game something has to favor them in terms of the game itself. In terms of Stephano he received a tremendous aid from mass roach being good and infestor bl being good as well. I think both him and I are similar in that we work hard and we also have some sort of talent for the game.
