TvT Slag Pits (W)
Did the iEchoic 2 Fact 2 Starport opening. I’ve been doing this as my standard TvT opening. However, after that botched one last game, I decided to do some investigating. I realized that if I scout my opponent doing the same opening, I can switch builds and get out a Thor just before the drop happens in my base. Turns out I didn’t need to, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
I’m pretty happy with my performance in this match. I was a bit late on my first I scouted a standard 1-1-1 build from my opponent, as well as an expansion, which this build is great against. My opponent must’ve thought I was going for cloaked banshees, since he got out a fast Raven, a viking, and a lot of marines. The drop went reasonably well. I killed 8 scv’s but lost my medivac. The loss of the medivac isn’t too bad, since I wouldn’t use it until much later for harassment anyway. I realized he had mostly marines and a couple of vikings, so I sent down my considerable number of hellions to kill him. Worked well.
