TvZ guide on how to open reactor hellion into timing push or 3rd base. I've just recently started coaching and would love some more people to coach, if you're interested I'm doing it at $7.25/hour USD[minimum wage in my state]. Please email lolptvcoaching@live.com with the following information so I can make the best of the time you purchase, I prepare my lessons in advanced.

[currently only do Terran and Protoss]

[you can contact me at jakeslc555 on AIM if you need to contact me fast]


Build order:
10 supply depot
12 refinary[as soon as it finishes put 2 on it for a total of 3 workers mining gas]
13 barracks
16 factory
16 orbital
16 supply depot [all in that order]
16 reactor on barracks
19 food switch factory on to reactor, produce 2 hellions and put tech lab on factory [incase you scout 1 base roach you need maruders instantly]
24 food start command center
scout with hellions and build two more.
31 lift factory float over and make tech lab, build 2 barracks with one on the reactor.
32 food starport + stim and add second gas
from this point you're going to want to drop your mule from your 2nd orbital and lift out to your natural and add two gasses and just pump non stop marine medivac tank
your goal is to have 4 tanks, 2-3 medivacs, and roughly 30+ marines.

  • this build is so effective vs zerg great video! gl getting to gm breh

  • @beefymcmanst1c The goal of the hellions is to deny creep spread mainly, so it doesn't madder if he makes spines. Properly microd hellions can always be safe against lling/banelings in early game numbers. The other stuff you mentioned is nothing to do with the build and more your ability to play the game.

  • @lolpTV I don't get it because I only use them to be safe early game and not at all late game. This build is very safe against all openers and is the main choice of most pro players to open with.

  • I like your video content, but the video quality is really bad. Need to work on that for people to take you serious.

  • @spacelord782 I agree, I'm working on getting better quality video right now.

  • that zerg was horrible

  • This is great. Thanks for making it!

  • Like it

  • @user314159265358979A the point of the hellions isn't to get kills. thermal igniter would be a wasted investment. you only need them to keep map control while you progress with the build he shows in the video

  • can u upload more vids pls :]?

  • ok ive just paused this video and stopped watching because at 7:00 you STILL dont have thermal igniter, and hellion production dripped to idk way too less instead of 5, getting 6 when igniter is ready. all i want is the FASTEST way to do this, and beat the 70 zerglings that would be at my doorstep by 6:00

  • @Willen1995 the push comes before mutas, and even if he rushes them, you have enough marines to defend against them

  • This build can be optimized by removing SCVs from gas after planting the reactor and re-applying them after the CC is planted. This way you don't need another supply depot at 32 supply and you can (almost) continuously produce the next pair of hellions. The starport will be later, but you can get a powerful stim/siege timing push at 9:30, which will outright kill greedy zergs and severely damage all others. After that push you can turtle and get a 3rd and prepare for lategame

  • Helps soooo much!! thanks for the tutorial. subbed!
