TY's $100K 3-Tank Push (TvP Timing Attack)
Description
On a stage in front of an audience 10,000 strong. Tied 2-2 with the best Protoss in the world. With one-hundred-thousand dollars on the line. TY had to dig deep. What he found was 3-seige tanks, a liberator and a dozen marines with combat shields. This build won 2 out of the next 3 games, and gained him a $100K cheque.
TY had been edged out in game 1 by Stats’ Collossi play, but had looked utterly impervious to the phoenix-adept play that stats pulled out in the following 2 games. As Stats swapped back into fast collossi play, TY unleashed this vicious timing attack.

Analysis
Notes: 3-rax, 1 without an addon Shields first Bring 1-2 scvs for bunkers Scan ahead as you approach the natural
Belshir
- 4 probes killed by helion-reaper
- 6 probe kills with 2 mine drop whilst reaper distracts
- Absolute domination
Honorgrounds
- Stats shuts down early pressure, holds smoothly
- 2 collossi with range, 6 stalkers, 2 sentries, 2 zealots, 1 adept
- TY still forces a long macro game
- 2 helion runby variation - only gets 2 probe kills
Cactus Valley
- Raven version - no fast pressure
- Late on extra gates
- Probably need to cut at 45 probes on this map, just 2-base saturation, crush the push - you’ve got the superior tech - collossi
- 2 stalkers left behind natural
- Didn’t force seige up early enough, and took damage + lost multiple units denying this.
Can I do this vs phoenix adept openings? - Nope. - Only commit to this if you scout the fast robo or robo-twilight play, otherwise swap after 1 tank and play a normal game
