Hooray for replays of Silver ranked players!

This Zerg player apparently did not scout. He didn't even build queens, but had a lair. Hellions (I know the Terran only built 1) mean that banshees are probably on the way. This replay is not indicative of a good build.  Go watch DAY9 for real SC2 game casting.

@phoskins84youtub1000

Hey Mate!

You must be new to StarCraft, so welcome! LaLush and Goody are both professional level players. LaLush recieved 2nd place in the Team Liquid SC2 Open #2. Goody is ranked number 204 in the WORLD and took 6th place in the EU Craft Cup.

Also, don't bother trying to pit me and DAY9 against each other, we are both supportive of each others channels/videos =)

Check his"YouTube Community" section on his channel, we are there.

Happy to help inform you!

Cheers.

Hi force, i think you videos are great, and i believe it would be perfect if in your future strategy video you can also talk about possible ways to counter the strategy you introduced, and again nice job.

@TheCoolMovement yeah... i tried to learn english from my english teacher... was nearly the same thing ;-)

[TheCoolMovement]

@Kaischoosi work on water?

[Kaischoosi]

I like the strat itself but learning from goody... is hard. His macro is somewhat shabby... this build isnt even done crisply... look at how he cancels the techlab... its like trying to learn from jesus how to work on water...

@phoskins84youtub1000 pwnd

[The0nlineGam3r]

@ForceSC2strategy phoskins got owned >:D

[Paxton171]

you can get a Tank and siege tech while you have 2 banshees and cloaking to stop any banling busts or roach attacks

[iljavija]

@phoskins84youtub1000 m8 u need to check ur facts before leaving a comment,saying that Lalush is in silver calls for a self inflicted facepalm

[xenexphobia]

good strat, but i can assure you that this won't work past master level. you had a really poor defense the whole time, the problem in tvz rush is that you can't tech rush at all because the zerg can either 7roach rushes or bling bust and both these rush are reaelly hard to stop, so its pretty much a gamble if you're going for this kind of all-in. i' a huge fan of cheeses and all-ins myself don't get me wrong, but past master you can't all-ins zergs anymore. toss n terr u can, but not zerg

[MrChannelReview]

What is worse than an ad?

an ad that doesn't even play

[MrIzieBoy]

cloak then killing overseers with vikings...nice! opponent just spent 100 gas for nothing... this is probably the best picked replay to cast for banshee rush... transition to thor makes it no cheese at all

[Huebert3000]

@rootmuppet Spot on. Day9 + Force is synergy. Also watch livestreams to watch what the pros are actually doing in a game.  There is surprisingly little overlap between these 3 things.

[Hanibaltherogue]

Thanks for your replay, helped me alot.

As a german im a HomerJ fanboy, but he doesnt have vids like this, so its realy nice to have some good other casters/replayers^^

greezt

[GamerProws]

banshee sucks i always make sure to have fast obs all people that cloack fail:D

[royaldoofus]

@phoskins84youtub1000 lololol u fail

[JaimirPT]

@ForceSC2strategy LOOOL! you rule mate... thanks a lot force for your videos... I am a bronze player, after watching your videos, I hardly loose a game with terran now =)

[kiesieweesie]

Cloaked banshees are the most irritating unit in the game for any non terran player. Cheeeeeeeeeeeeese :D.

[1point61803]

@ravager1987

Fast roach with no expo beats this. I tried a 2 port banshee against Zerg in Blistering Sands and they roach busted my back door. Even though I had complete vision of what was happening, I didn't have my banshees out and marines inside bunkers vs roaches, roaches still won outright.

[jellyphant]

lmao "eye kant speel", hahahah i like it alot lol

[tassidar86]

@mrvolax I have never played against this build because I am terran, but Day 9 many times says the best counter to Harassment units is early pressure. get that 4 gate up early and then work on some observers and then push out before he can get a large amount of banshees and thors.

[mrvolax]

best protoss army mix vs mid-late game banshee / thor / marine / raven army? only thing you have that doesn't get murdeder by thors are immortals, which can taken out in seconds by banshee. also keeping an observer alive to take the banshee out is almost impossible with scans / ravens. fuck, i hate banshee stealth, it's so bull shit to deal with.

[zackrulz626]

can u put the Build Log in the Information Box plx?

[xxxXM3talXxx]

@yue12321 the supply includes all units
