Terran Strategy - Marine Stim Medivac Drop - Starcraft 2 EonShiKeno

[MrSurface94]

I believe the best counter for this is early high templars?

The feedbacks can pick down medivacs before they reach ur base, and if they reach it, you can remove their heal. If you even get up storm, thats a huge bonus.

[MrSwyff]

Man, this strategy got me 11 wins out of 13 games. Thank you for this. I was failing miserably in 1v1 before i used this build order and strategy.

[MrSurface94]

I try countering this as protoss any tips?

[MrSwyff]

@MrSurface94 Cannons and Pilons at your mineral line helps, and if you have stalkers, focus on taking out the medivacs first.

Uh I got a good question I'm a terran player how do I defend against this attack if they continue doing it

[Psychokore1987]

im curious when the Insane AI always attacks.. also around the 7min mark?

[mgianni19]

Why didn't you make this a live ladder?

[mgianni19]

@mgianni19 Oh nevermind, it was vs the computer :)

[EonShiKeno]

@mgianni19 Check Live Ladder #86. Just for you.

[iceblade05]

@EonShiKeno could i possibly get you on my friend roster as i need a training partner and 2v2 partner to get up the ladder because i'm a fan of the medivac drop but don't use stim because the vacs are too slow to heal in my opinion if theres a micro out there for the vacs to follow a group without tagging them to a unit, that would be a life saver because i've had to tie my vacs to a maruader as they don't die quickly in a heated fight, i've also become very good with infesters with zerg

great vid

Great video Eon :)

TvT, well alot of sht is a viable opener in this MU.

One point i would like to mention why did you cut workers. At 7.30 when you check units you had like 23 SCVs???

I will definatly try this build myself though. TY Eon

[hangene92]

@TheMigs101 23 workers is around the average for 1 base, which is the exact number where ur base is fully saturated.

[TheMigs101]

@hangene92 @hangene92 Im not sure about this. 30 workers is fully saturated.(liquidpedia)

Any extra workers you produce on one base can be transfered later. Terran has no way to produce workers quicker like protoss and zerg. eg crono, injects. So once you miss that worker its gone forever.

23 workers can be produce by 5.45. Thats about 2mins of no scv production in this build.

Do you recommend i cut workers for 2mins?

[hangene92]

@TheMigs101 nope i wouldnt recommend to cut workers, but when most people goes all in they only get about 23 workers, but I wasnt trying to say to stop at 23, I usually have around 35 around one base, so that afterwards when i do expand I can transfer,

[TheMigs101]

@hangene92 Cool neither would I. If this build could be executed with non stop scv production in would be pretty sweet. I Didt releases this build was an allin Eon did not mention it? In fact he took an expo.

If you secure your expo by 8 mins. You will only have 30 scv off one base. This way you will have no idle scv, just saying.

[TheMigs101]

This looks like a really great build. i think it would be very powerful against zerg if they have been pure droning which they do like to do before the 8- 9 min mark and this is done by 7.20.

Against P could be very hit or miss in my opinion. What happens if p goes for one of there very powerful allins that happen around this time too. 4 gate, 3 gate stargate , 3 gate robo. But on the other hand marines stim and medivacs destory each one of these builds. Idk need to do a unit tester.

[MrTetris88]

Thanks for the video I've only ever done single medivac drops early game so ill try this out. Ill usually just try to take out economy or a crusial tech structure. What do you think is more effective or do you think it is dependent on the situation?

[EonShiKeno]

@MrTetris88 Well, 2 >1 but, like you said everything depends on the situation and the goal of each build order / attack timing.

[jimfolmar]

Let see this on the ladder.

[ProtocolGW]

oh lol sorry it was an easy computer:( but maybe you could could show this on a ladder game?

[ProtocolGW]

was this a real game or vs a computer?

[MREXHALE]

i wich we could see an actuall drop :P just to see how it workes

[Repanocho]

Have you actually tryed this out in a real game? :O

[EonShiKeno]

@Repanocho Yes I used this on ladder last month before I changed back to Zerg. I had about 15 replays of this but, I deleted them all because my folder was very full. I wish I still had them. I might do a few Terran games to demostrate this in the future.

[Repanocho]

@EonShiKeno nah nah, i believe you lol

[MREXHALE]

love these vids:P helps a lot:P
