lol Mav, I just checked the chatlog on the Smashboards channel, and that's more or less what I've been experimenting with lately. Yes, Thor/Hellion beats a lot of things, but it's most known for punishing the Muta/Bane/Ling composition. From there, you can add Marauders to punish Roaches and Ultralisks. However, you need Vikings in order to not get hard countered by Brood Lords.

You're time zone's are effed up buddy.

If he was in the Midwest he would be about 3 hours behind us. Not forward.

And Kentucky is right next to VA geographically.

So he's no more then an hour or so behind. Maybe not even.

The wording was horrendous.

Let's all talk in Spanish were everything is simple to say.

I thought he was one hour behind, and to be fair half of Kentucky is one hour behind. A bad assumption, and it turns out the Overswarm is indeed EST.

Rhan - I find it ironic that you comment on my grammar, yet say "You're time zone's." Not only is that the incorrect use of "You are" instead of the possessive "Your", you also add in a possessive "zone's" incorrectly. Lastly, if you understood geography and timezones, you would know that being three hours behind would mean he is West Coast, not Midwest.

Overswarm - Sounds good man, I'll be on tonight / this weekend. GF > Sc2.

I used this start since plat. It eventually stopped working when I faced higher diamonds. I think its working for me again since my macro/micro has improved since platinum.


Yeah, I usually leave myself flexibility to build other support units pending how they response. But the core of it is thors with attack upgrades. The most common zerg response is heavy roach, which is when I mix in a few banshees. It worked really well yesterday because he went heavy roach with mutas. I sent my banshees in with my thors just out of zerg vision range. As I expected his mutas came rushing in to kill the banshees, and they were all bunched up. My thors 1shotted all of his mutas minus one or two. It was so epic LOL.


I never wrote a b/o for it in this thread, but I always include 1 starport to make any sort of air units I need. Vikings for OL harass/bl, medevacs for blue flame drops, ravens for creep control/burrow, banshees for harass/roaches, and I dont get bcs :p.

Okay, I'm going to revise my statement about Thors.

They are the only useful Factory unit when the opponent is building Phoenixes and Carriers, which happens to draw money away from Immortals too.

Whos going to build carriers though? They are almost as useless as bcs.

Phoenixes I can definitely see. Also thors get bonus damage vs Phoenixes.

Carriers and BCs are both ridiculously awesome units, they are just only really awesome when you can produce them without dying.

Going BC / marine vs Z is actually ridiculously effective, you just can't ever do it because Z can outmacro you so hard.

I can't actually see that winning out against Corruptor/Roach/Baneling with a few Hydras. Hitting 3+ bases and pumping Battlecruiser/Marine/Siege Tank worked a bit more decently, in my experience. However, even then trading several BCs for a dozen Corruptors was irritating. Siege Tank/Thor/Viking with a couple BCs sprinkled in and Marines to take up the remainder of the minerals might work out, but I've yet to test that one.
