Does Nick transition to half MM/Mech? It seems like from the more competitive mech videos I've seen, they kind of delay marine upgrades until late. Also, you still put emphasis on EBay while having 2 facts up.
I feel like the natural transition out of the opening (which definitely felt weird with that second tank up the ramp) was tank/thor/helion/banshee with excess minerals on rines. Mech needs time, and suiciding blue flames into expos seems to be preferred.
If you pull your ghosts after the snipes/emp's behind the marauders.. that will save you some pain.. but that's not really a mech tactic now is it... hmmm thats an infestor tactic.. lol I think you were doomed from when you lost the siege tanks in the beginning & you gave up on putting pressure on him IN his base =)
you can't kite against roach infestor with seige tank thor, roaches and infestors are faster than siege tanks and thors :P you can't guarantee that you'll hit emp/snipes, and ghosts are unbelievably expensive... The game was over at 18 minutes I cannot imagine hitting emps before that battle while talking to my wife about what to buy at the store, but i agree, that theoretically if i had hit emps before the battle, i might have lost by a significantly smaller margin.
I'm kinda new at this but I was curious, it seems like you rushed your first few tanks too far in and lost them to lings, while others were kept at home.
Would it not be better to establish map control and as you take your third move all your tanks out toward the middle spread out a bit and just keep adding to them? He never made mutas, this would have allowed for continuous drops form around the 11 minute mark. Then as time allows build turrets around the tanks as you slowly gain map control?
I GUESS THE LESSON IS THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO BE u. Ur best thing is marine mdvac. It is not your nature to use tanks hellion thor. heheh.

Make more marauders & ghosts halby! It feels like your afraid to make ghosts, even when you have a surplus of gas. gg yo
