I do a proxy marauder rush, if they dont scout my base (very rare) i make 3 marauders with concussive shell and try to do maximum damage. If they do scout I just make 2 marauders w/o concussive shell and expand immediately while at the same time keeping him on 1 base. As Im attacking I have enough gas to make a factory and start teching to cloak banshee. After my marauders are done harassing I float in the barracks to scout if he's 111ing or going mass barracks or expanding or whatever else. If Im really on my game or my opponent is particularly terrible, Ill have a banshee into his base before any turrets have even begun getting made, so i can do even more econ damage. At this point its time to start my main army which is sky terran, mass battlecruisers and vikings out of 3 starports (2 techs, 1 reactor). I get upgrades as fast as possible. Ill throw in some more banshees if it looks like he's going to attack soon. Once I get my first few BCs out I usually feel pretty good. If I successfully get down my 3rd and 4th Im basically unstoppable. It should be noted though that my natural expo is a PF instead of an orbital. And my future expos are all double PFs. You sacrifice some economy getting a PF, but sky is a gas intensive composition, so your going to have plenty of minerals anyway. Also, be sure to get those building upgrades (the two things in the Ebay, i dont know what their called). I try to turtle up to 200/200 before i move out, as a maxed sky army is ridiculously cost efficient.
Things that this build loses to:
-People who make 4 barracks and actually move out and try to kill me immediatly after my maruader harrass is over. Most of them just sit in their base worrying about a follow up. Once the PF gets up at the natural any kindve one base push can be held off (you can kill tanks seiging the PF with the cloak banshee, and PFs lol at marines.) Also, drops can be a big problem so litter your bases with turrets.
-People who go MMM and continously snipe my expansions before I get a few BCs out. Stim marauders are great for this. Kills my gas income and ****.
-People who do something else that i havent run into yet.
Im about rank 50 diamond as well, so I dont think I would necessarily 'school' you.
Its just that its something people arent used to seeing so they dont know how to react to it. And now i wait for karak to read all of this and lol at me and call me a noob.
