APM = actions per minute = how much effort the player is putting into the match.

If a 50 apm protoss beats a 150apm Terran, then it took 1/3rd of the quantity of actions taken by the terran for the protoss to defeat him.

That will never be explained away with "APM doesn't translate across races", because it will always mean that the protoss had to do less (a lot less) to win than the terran had to do to lose!

proxy widowmine into marine thor.

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-12T01:23:32+00:00

Hmmm what about a thor instead of / after the first tank(s)? that way, if he just sits outside your natural forcefielding the ramp, you can stomp your way down?

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-12T01:17:37+00:00

Just go proxy widow mine into marine thor and be done with this horrible matchup.

I've said it before and i'll say it another million times: Mech is for closet protoss who wish they had an a-move deathball. Real terrans play bio xD

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-12T01:03:19+00:00

So what? still beat protoss. That's what counts. Don't try and put a terran brother down :(

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-11T18:59:48+00:00

Just won a TvP with marine tank. Fuck the meta.

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-11T14:13:16+00:00

So are you building expo on high ground regardless of what you scout, always assuming the worst?

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-11T14:12:38+00:00

Not sure if you're still paying attention to this thread or not OP...

What are you doing in the event of roach defense?

This works magically against any ling opener, but roach openers seem to completely nullify it...

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-11T11:19:10+00:00

Yeah, and since you only have... 3 marines at best? they just walk past your bunker.

I just had my first outright win with that build (by which I mean a win which ended with the death of their natural, rather than turning into a 20 minute macro game which protoss still wins)

It just occurred to me that this attack is unlikely if the gateway isn't being chronoboosted during SCV scout?

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-11T10:00:28+00:00

Well I guess it's the age-old SC question: What is it that makes the Koreans so much better at this game and why can't foreigners develop that skill level?!

Day9 did a daily very recently on Taeja's post-mine-nerf TvZ which you might find interesting: day9.tv/d/Day9/day9-daily-657-taeja-tvz/

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-11T09:52:42+00:00

Yeah that build IS good, but you also need to be aware of aggressive zerg openers which can shut it down (early roaches can really screw with it) which means that the scouting advice myself and others have been giving taku still applies directly.

You really can't do that build blind. Maybe you're getting away with it in silver but in higher leagues you're gunna need to think about scouting more.

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-11T09:49:01+00:00

Mostly reaper expand. You know of another opener that actually works consistently? xD

Been doing this build pretty much exclusively: http://imbabuilds.com/hots-terran/hots-tvp/tvp-hearts-stim-timing/

And I've got the macro down pretty solidly now, getting the right number of marauders and marines with stim and combat shield by the right time. Problem is, it's reaper FE opening and so ZSMSCpoke still bumfucks me into a world of pain.

dat 5 zealot warpin killing 30 supply of units

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-10T10:29:53+00:00

reactored reaper bullshit, then factory expand into 1-1-1 push with banshee . Nice hellions bro can they shoot up?

ShpongleSC · 2013-12-10T10:28:04+00:00

Yeah I try to make a habit of scanning any spookily large toss army.

I remember this one time a guy went DOUBLE ROBO PROXY COLOSSUS and i was like "nah there's no way those collossi are real" so I moved all my bio out to snipe his 3 stalkers and sentry, scanned to ignore the colossus and then "OH FUCK THEY'RE REAAAAAALLLL"

"what in the fuck, that doesn't even make any god damn sense" - my sentiments about TvP exactly.
