Cyclone/Hellion Mech Opener (TvZ Timing Attack)
Description
This is an innovative Mech TvZ concept that has been developing, so I decided to write a build ordre for Cyclone/Hellion vs Zerg in preparation for the Balance Test release. However, Cyclone/Hellion army composition works completely fine in 3.7 as well.
Build Order
Why is there no SALT encoding or Overwolf build?

Analysis
The Starport is very delayed in this build order in order to obtain a high Cyclone and Hellion count early on in the game. This early Cyclone count also pushes back any 2 Base Spire play from the Zerg. The transition from Cyclone/Hellion should be Tanks and Liberators, eventually hitting a +2/+2 timing push against the Zerg.
Converge into: 1-4-1: Heavy ground mech 1-3-2: More liberator favored (SkyTerran)
