I know we tease Artosis for saying he gets chills all the time, but the fact that he's so passionate about the game is like 90% of the reason why I watch this channel.
He is by far the best caster. By far. He knows a lot about the game, he approaches the game in such a intellectual way that is mesmerizing. I've been following his channel for 4-5 years and it just gets better and better. He is almost single handling the whole SC English community
Honestly Terrans having the self-awareness to know that theyre known for the super OCD, super serious try-hard personalities and then just naming their builds all of the dumbest names would be hilarious.
To br honest i was surprised the zerg didnt make a squad of lings. A combined muta and ling attack on that terran bunker build can shut it down. Then you research burrow and bury 12 lings where the terran parks his tanks or further south and you ambush him with a combined muta ling ambush. I dunno maybe it doesnt work at high MMR but i always thought mutas go best with lings.
funnily enough, he actually called a build crazy terran when crazy zerg was meta a few years ago it was an SK type build with very early attack/armor upgrades
There are a few small optimizations he could make. The tanks had to move up out of bunker range to hit the hatchery, and when the mutalisks tried to patrol/stop attack the tanks under the building, terran has an opening to pop all his marines out of the bunker and add extra anti-air DPS. They aren't really doing much at that point anyway even if they eat some splash. And the zerg cannot manually control whether he's hitting tanks or marines if they're clumped, so they will effectively add a little HP. I assume he was using the SCVs via control groups to repair already but can't really see it. He didn't take the marines out until after everything else was dead, he should have done it at 6:45 and probably just kept them out unless the zerg tries to swipe them specifically
it was 3 marines and they would have died instantly to glaive bounce. You need them alive in the bunker if he decides to make zerglings. Thats the point of the bunker. If it dies and the marines die then he doesnt even need to use mutas to clear it anymore, he can just make zerglings and kill the tank and goliaths. You cannot lose the marines no matter what.
@@BigronnieTriceps Goliaths are even more effective against zerglings than (non-stim) marines are. When you're already streaming out goliaths that's not a real concern is it? If the tanks die the push ends and new ones can't cross the map. And if the tanks+goliaths are alive and bunker/marines dead, zerglings can't even scratch mech even without vultures, they eat a few splash shots running in and are up against goliaths which trade off about 25% dps to be 100% tankier compared to the 2x marines
@@JCMiniPainting I assume once the tanks are lost the zerg can hold the position by just reinforcing with more sunkens, so any more uh, 'sunken' cost into the attack is going to inevitably be wasted when the zerg finally reaches critical mass and clears it out. You need the tanks to breach the sunks, and once they're gone the rest should snowball in and wipe them. You could land the barracks at that point, or better try to float it uphill if you move to siege the main
Ha, I used to use the floating building strat on Zero Clutter maps to cover my SCVs. I even would make mass command centers to float over my primary CC and also cover my allies primary to defend against mass muta snipes.
I did that tank rush hidden under an ebay a few years ago, with marinee medic instead of goliath tho, and I crushed many zergs with it and I remember they all called it bullshit cause they had no idea how to kill the tank lol. Of course it was on D rank, but im proud I got that idea
There is no reason to believe this specific player “invented“ that build. They are just the first to make it pop into the attention sphere for sure. Come on the basic concept of floating building hiding tanks has popped up in thousands of bw players minds as well.
I love that when your titles are click-baiting they actually keep what they promise. Admittedly I'm not experienced enough at the game to realize on my own that this is a completely new build, but that's what you're for. I only recognized that I don't remember the last time I saw a pro cover his tanks with a floating building.
I really do look forward to my daily Artosiscasts w/ my coffee in the morning. Thanks for the hard work putting these together RT! Highlight of my mornings.
It's like an artillery base! That's so cool. Building out little forward operating bases for super specific purposes seems like unexplored territory in BW. It's incredible that we're still seeing innovation.
Yes, especially with Terran. It just makes sense. In Original, you'd make infantry and put it into bunkers, as it did not have Medics. Why not make them offensive bunkers?
You also need to take into account skill difference, action top 20 if not top 10 player in the world vs an unknown player. If you put light or rush in terran position they certainly could have ended easier
no doubt, mutas are super busted and probably would have been nerfed long ago if this was a normal game that still got updates lol. Part of the beauty though, people have to find creative ways to beat stuff rather than just waiting for nerfs
@@EB-bl6cc Mutalisks are completely useless units on their own and are, in a straight figtht, owned by anything anti-air that's not a Dragoon or Goliath.
Blizzard back during the original release did realize they were a little busted. That's why Goliath range, Valkyrie. and Corsair were added to try to limit them. Should have made them Medium units imo, but too late now.
Thank you Artosisnfor reading the comments and delivering what your viewers ask for. Its been 3 great games that you cast and in this one u mentioned that this replay was recommanded by a trusted source. This is good stuff🙌❤️
Yes, the game that I remember saving allowance money to go in halfers on a copy with a buddy is more than a quarter of a century old. Thanks for the title that reminds me of my age ;)
Another thing terran isn't doing enough is landing buildings against zealots, zerglings and ultras in front of not only tanks but all their units whenever possible. It does make such a difference. And if they don't have a floating building around they could just start building one and cancel it when they move forward. It makes their positions so much stronger against ground units, even ranged ones, like goons and hydras, because most units will waste shots onto the buildings. And dragoons shoot slow. Might even cancel the one or other reaver shot.
I've been thinking of this build in theory for SO MANY YEARS!!!! Mass Goliaths can work!!! Sure you can probably poke a million holes in this build but it's COOL and that's what matters!!!
I think at the point where he lost the tanks it would make sense to land the barracks and just pump out some marines. Also as a counter, I think burrow lings could really mess things up for the terran reinforcements.
@@kakarrru To add onto this, if Action switched over to lings then Foden would immediately take his natural and Terran would be up on bases against Zerg. That is almost an insta-lose. Artosis criticizes Action for constantly crossmapping his mutas to Foden's base and letting Foden set up at the front, but Action has to constantly do that to make sure Foden never takes his natural. If Foden expanded that's game over.
@@VioletteZeroMy theory is he thought it was more important to keep vision over the cliff than it was to build more marines. Also Artosis mentioned his econ was bad, so maybe he couldn't afford it?
I had an idea for what the terran could have done at the end. When the mutas go to counter attack, land the barracks in the zerg main and start producing marines to add extra pressure. If the barracks gets attacked you can lift but it will either distract from the goliaths or actually start killing drones. It's probably better than leaving the barracks floating near the sunken, right?
I agree. Goliaths have incredible range, but are lacking in damage. The problem is that the Goliath's damage gets split in half after attacking (2 rockets), which then causes the enemy armor to be twice as effective.
Goliaths are an unit that got the most buffs since release. They got a +2 point base damage buff, and upgrade to the air weapons buff (from +1 to +2 per missile, for a total of +4), and a +1 ground range buff. Oh, and they also got a special Charon Boosters upgrade in Brood War, that increases the air weapon range by 3. So, yeah. It was a bad unit originally.
This is wild. I JUST thought of this build last week and wondered if it is viable. I was thinking just bunkers and tanks and then the missile turrets would come later to protect the main with a switch into valks to grab the natural or something.
Lmao I used to do this build all the time on Lost Temple back in 2005. Didn't have the skill/multitasking required to make it work vs good Zergs, but I loved to play aggressive and opening with siege tanks felt like a logical build at the time. Seems like the key is floating a barrack over your tanks to prevent muta snipes. Wish I'd thought of that back in the day!
You can cover 2 siege tanks with a barracks it's just a rather precise thing to do. In a game trying to shuffle the building and tanks during incoming threats though isn't as viable. Positioning the 2 tan then moving barracks ontop makes the process smoother obviously.
I dunno for certain but it appears that action had only 2 zerglings on the map when the move out happenned and he was commiting 100% to mutas by that point. I think there is a way to stop this with more zerglings and mutas and not lose the natural... but scouting is going to dictate that. He actually used the two zerglings to scout and the last died at 5:03... IDK, it is awesome to see something new like this... wish we had more samples to theorycraft.
Interesting, a few weeks ago Rogue was using a similar strat in SC2 of parking a ton of Overseers above his Lurkers to prevent Terran opponents from targeting the Lurkers with snipes. I wonder if one of these players influenced the other in these convergent developments.
I think this is a really neat early aggression but it shouldn't be an all in. After killing the hatch what he should have done was scale back the pressure a bit and expand. Getting ahead of Zerg on expansions is a surefire way for Terrand to beat Zerg. We saw how fragile this can be when Action Attack-moved the mutas in and killed everything. ADDENDUM: Looking at this a bit more in detail, Action was sending his mutas to Foden's base a lot to deny Foden from expanding. If the mutas stayed behind to kill the push he would have absolutely pulled his units back and expanded. The fact that the mutas left to attack the base means that building more units at home was the correct move. Artosis says that "The errors are went you went across the map" but Action HAD to go across the map because if Foden finished an expansion at his natural, it's game over.
Finally a genius who goes armor upgrade first in mech vs mutas. Attack upgrade would increase damage to mutas by 20% (24/20) Armor Upgrade would reduce the damage from mutas from 8/2/0.5 to 7/1/0.5. 10.5->8.5 which is about 20% reduction (requires 10.5/8.5 = 23.5% more hits from mutas) So armor upgrade isn't even worse to begin with, and allows your missile turrets to do more dps while the army survives 23% longer

Making earliest possible siege tanks to break sunkens really reminds of silver league strategies from SC2!
Perhaps this was inspired by the guy that went mass overseer to obscure his lurkers in a similar fashion recently

CRAZY TERRAN
Build was gnarly
Finally a genius who goes armor upgrade first in mech vs mutas. Attack upgrade would increase damage to mutas by 20% (24/20) Armor Upgrade would reduce the damage from mutas from 8/2/0.5 to 7/1/0.5. 10.5->8.5 which is about 20% reduction (requires 10.5/8.5 = 23.5% more hits from mutas) So armor upgrade isn't even worse to begin with, and allows your missile turrets to do more dps while the army survives 23% longer
Though if the mutas have 1 armor, a weapon upgrade to match is a 22% damage increase (22/18).
Now this is what i call CRAZYZERG
