StarCraft 2 - [T] Tank Hellion Response to Fast Expand - Strategy

[Etheot]

But to save some time you can build the tech lab to the barracks and then change buildings.

I think that works too ;)

[TheSweetaffroman]

A question would it be worth taking with you 1-2 scv when you attack his base with the sige tanks ?

[Exzemo]

Is this strategy still viable in bigger maps??

[jacksparrow173]

awesome strategys, im new at this game. and u have helped me to win against my enemies. THX U

[SnPKamikaze]

i jerk it to youre videos on a daily basis

[Wh0reNugget]

Maybe 3 Bear Axing would be efficient for a run-by.

[MrPlayaoftheyear]

Force, how do you break into a terran base when he's turtling with siege / thors playing as a zerg player?

[radroach44]

@MrPlayaoftheyear you can use mutas to kill the tanks (tanks can target air) and speedlings or cracklings to kill the thors, if you dont want to go broodlords

[duragon641]

@radroach44 he had marines in the mix as well so that is sorta out of the question

[CODDUDE1100]

he didnt say gg :O

[radroach44]

@CODDUDE1100 He's sour about life:D

[xandepope]

make the buildings attachment on the barracks and then take off and switch building places

[mixermake]

hey dude, i just started playing SC2 i was a Brood War player, now with no goliath, what do the terrans use against air units?? ive been finding myself vulnerable against mass air with a mech army

[xandepope]

@mixermake dude this video was posted before some major updates, watch some replays to learn everything about SC2 (i used to play the original Starcraft tooo), the game is awesome and terran anti air ground units now are basicly rines and thors, but vikings are great anti air, long range good damage and they can land and become ground units too

[Hell1fire1]

Zergs always early expand. Or else its kinda an all in for them... So I always do hellion/tank on Zergs. I do Factory-techlab Factory-reactor + barrack. Attack when you got siege. And always produce units and you will be fine.. works on Tos too :)

[TheUmadbrahs]

nice vid..

Thanks for the tips. I find myself getting better at SC2 but its nice to see what other areas I could expand upon.

[matty8491]

been stomping zergs with this

[boneboy767]

all he needed were some mutas...should have gotten up the spire

[Hell1fire1]

@boneboy767 A swarm? Dont think you will be able to do a SWARM of mutas in 7 mins and some secs... :P And if you do, you would leave yourself army-less for those minutes. Thats pretty mutch a gamble if u ask me.

[boneboy767]

@Hell1fire1 ah yea... wasnt rlly thinking

[nemesis408]

Good vid. Very informative unlike some fail vids out there. Too bad the opponent had no idea how to respond. As zerg I wouldn't have made as many spine crawlers as him. And if I did I would have moved them back for a full on push with heavy ling or muta wave. I think speedlings still have a very strong stand against hellion/tank esp if you don't bring a few scvs to repair.

[dmorgan0628]

I like your videos man, you don't sound cocky like most others on here.

Thanks

[jrconjux]

dude can you like make a strategy on how to counter mutas,speedlings and banelings cuz it hella frikin annoying and the harras of the mutas is just stress full..... :/

[52727030]

@jrconjux watch halby's videos. He is in masters league and has a crazy effective strategy to mutas,speedlings and blings.

[masterprivate118]

Dang I love that you made a heck lot of Terran strategies.

Go terrans!

[mofogie]

i usually do rauder/ helion as these units crush ling/roach. however as rauder/heion, it's easy to overbuild one or the other, if you have too many rauders facing lings, or too many helions facing roach, it can be disastrous. I think i'll try this more.

[berryfafilling]

you hotkey the same as me lol

[fankidbrewers]

well, I hope I never play you!

[haku968]

lmao i love how nobody you play says gg it means u pwned them badly XD

[DestroManiak]

does this still work as it is supposed to ?

[jrconjux]

@DestroManiak DUDE it still works man!!

[atlant44]

yea bun that zergs :D

[ironmanzara]

chinken

[paddebank]

lol good vids ! but dude you sound like jamie hyneman :P from mythbusters

[chickala]

the math here is actually 300 for the hatch, and 300 for the crawlers, if he would get roaches right after expand, he would quite a few by the time u got there, i am not quite sure those 2 initial tanks would be able to deal with them.

but either way, perfectly executed

[duffmandje]

Is it normal that this Z player doesn't have any roach at this point ?

[AeanHD]

@duffmandje The zerg player went for a fast expand build, which mainly focuses on getting his economy up really fast in the early game, where he is most vulnerable. :}

[stefvengelen]

men how do you film this

[fix520]

very helpful vids man keep it up!

[awsumpersun321]

2:13

zerg might aswell try to kill the supply depot

[akumetsu336]

ur a beast ...

[NEMESIS1999]

Yes very nice strategy but at this point people use to have much larger number of units than this.

[theabyscalls]

wow EPIC EPIC flame war just went down. Man I love reading such epic stuff. BTW KAKALXLAX stfu gtfo kthxbye

[klolwut]

Motha fuckin' Bear Axe out of nowhere.

[crazypsycho69]

might it be beneficial to attach a reactor to your barracks and switch it with your 'hellion' factory when the time comes?

[medic101joe]

really didnt get into starcraft too much before but definitely have to say thanks for the tips... definitely will help with planning out strategy in playing in the future

[helenmont312]

My god! What happened to your voice? Did you get lung cancer? Poor dude!

[Rectowarrior]

Can u put BO in description? like when to get gas and stuff, when to put workers/whether to keep making workers etc. TY

[KAKALXLAX]

helion is an overpriced mineless vulture

[FreshmanThesis]

@KAKALXLAX With a firebat strapped to the hood

[MrJames007G]

@KAKALXLAX hellion is way better than vulture when it comes to killing things like drones and lings... iv seen a single helion(with infernal preigniter) take out all 16 drones with 1 shot b4. if can attack them when they in a clump helions will devastate drones or lings. And they are also the fastest unit in the game.

[KAKALXLAX]

@MrJames007G c´on, enything can kill those almost harmless things, any flyer can kill infinite of those, the mervelous about the vulture was the mines, and it is also faster than hellion due it has the thruster upgrade

[MrJames007G]

@KAKALXLAX well light bio cant kill em and they should be used for harrassing, not main army composition. Flyers can kill infinite amounts of marauders aswel, every unit has its uses

[KAKALXLAX]

@MrJames007G vulture has a fine attack, xtreme speed, and 3 splash mines for less cost than a hellion, u can kill small armys with it

[heirofskil]

@KAKALXLAX vulture...? -1

[KAKALXLAX]

@heirofskil say what?

[MrJames007G]

@KAKALXLAX A hellion costs 100 minerals, same as a zealot or 2 marines. Hellions own marines and zealots.

[KAKALXLAX]

@MrJames007G a vulture cost 75 minerals and can own groups of marines, zealots AND hellions

[RemeN210]

@KAKALXLAX Because you can use Vultures in multiplayer, amiright?

[KAKALXLAX]

@RemeN210 u will mainly use it in multiplayers, yes

[RemeN210]

@KAKALXLAX Last time I checked, Vultures aren't available in Wings of Liberty Multiplayer so...

[KAKALXLAX]

@RemeN210 but they are in brood war so...

[MahajiHaji]

@KAKALXLAX Let me step in here. You are a retard.

[KAKALXLAX]

@MahajiHaji wow, really smart comment

[MahajiHaji]

@KAKALXLAX For a smart man.

[KAKALXLAX]

@MahajiHaji thank u

[MahajiHaji]

@KAKALXLAX Lol you guys are such comeback kings aren't you? Tell you what, you 1v1 me at Starcraft and attack me with your vultures and we'll see who wins ok?

[KAKALXLAX]

@MahajiHaji this is a fact, starcraft 1 is superior to sc 2, the only thing in wich sc2 is better is in graphics, number of units u can select, and scv auto repair command (superficial stuff), sc1 is the real deal in units and maps. vultures allow strategy, hellions are just a "oh ill spam this unit and send them to battle", sc1 is a real strategy game, sc2 is just a utilization of the name to make money

[MahajiHaji]

@KAKALXLAX ?

You're stupid but okay.

[KAKALXLAX]

@MahajiHaji and ur smart point is?

[MahajiHaji]

@KAKALXLAX That you're stupid. Shouldn't you be in bed kiddo?

[KAKALXLAX]

@MahajiHaji in bad with ur mommy

[KAKALXLAX]

@MahajiHaji and btw, sc1 cant make a comeback cuz it was never gone

[REITV]

@MrJames007G Maybe the hellion killed all 16 drones, but NO way in 1 shot...

[MrJames007G]

@REITV Yes 16 in 1 shot. Clearly you dont know how good hellions are. With the infernal upgrade, they 1 shot drones and lings. They do aoe damage. Often a group of units, in this case drones, can bunch up if moved incorrectly. And their attack is a long flame, if drones are running close together its very easy to kill many in 1 shot. Go search for it, im sure u will find many many clips of games where its happened, its not uncommon.

[Phyrex999]

I wonder why the Zerg Drone didnt build on that vespine while he was scouting his base, lol.

[Tvvix7]

I love your vids and you are a very good player :)

[tynansylvester]

Looks like he might have come out on top but he didn't flex his base back under pressure and his ling micro was horrible. He should have evacuated the expansion for the moment, sent lings to intercept reinforcements, and tried to execute a surround while advancing his spine crawlers. Maybe.

[700007123]

A Terran player did something like this to me. Should have scouted with overlords and overseers.. Roaches might be good against those Siege Tanks. Mutas too, but it takes a while to tech.

[IlovemyGlock21]

I love that 3 hit combo at the end when he tries to counter. LOL

[CallinWire]

Wow, I use the exact same numbers for hotkeys. 4-7 production buildings, 1-3 army

[Delianswift]

Thanks a lot for making these videos, it's nice to have an understandable visual guide.

[tet5uo]

Nice vids man!

Getting me back into the swing of things since my 10 year break from starcraft :)

[Babyfacemcgill]

Nice!

[vadalor]

I always seem to have trouble being terran and your videos have really stepped my game up and now I compete well in gold. Thx a lot I really appreciate these strategies.

[GbGodly]

Dude, you need more subscribers.

[TheNickster1212]

Great vids! helped ALOT
