Analysis
-Scout with the seventeenth SCV
-Remove one SCV from each gas after the Factory goes down
-Build Command Center on location at natural if you notice your opponent isn't doing an aggressive build
-Build Starport BEFORE the Hellion if you notice your opponent isn't being aggressive
-Resaturate your gasses with rally once you reach 16/16 on your minerals
-Make sure you build the Fusion Core out of scan range
-You don't HAVE to pressure with your Reaper/Hellion combo. But if you have the APM to spare, go for it
-You have to skip some units to make the first Battlecruiser once the Fusion Core is done. You'll notice a large window between your first set of Marines vs second set of Marines
-You can start making Marines again, but if you notice that you don't need them, you can cancel them
-The main weakness of this build is Banshee because your Cyclone is going to be delayed
-The most important part is to scout your opponent before you attack with your BC's. You can do it with a scan as well. If you still have your Reapers, you want to hop in with them (or scan) to see if it is safe to teleport with a BC
-You ideally want to have three Battlecruiser's for your attack
-In the video, uThermal hides his Battlecruisers behind his base to avoid the scan and chooses not to teleport due to Cyclones. Once his opponent moves out, he teleports them across. It is very challenging for a Terran to defend this attack while their army is moving out
-Thermy built a second Cyclone in the VOD by accident. It was supposed to be a Tank. The build order shows it with the second Cyclone
-If you decide to fly your BC's across the map rather than keeping them at home and you see a Raven in your opponents base, gtfo and teleport out
-After your third BC is out and ready to go, start using your Starport to make Vikings with a Reactor
-After your transition to Mech, standard Hellions, Tanks, Vikings
