Analysis
Terran are struggling to find a good build. The once popular proxy strategy is a lot weaker after the Cyclone change. The standard macro versus macro TvP is considered Protoss favored by many. Terran unwillingly went back to the typical Reaper expand.
The old school mid game goal is always to move out with with Stim and Medivac. In Legacy of the Void, Terran usually hit a timing at the third. This is well countered by the mass Gateway units mid game style, which has become even more popular after Protoss players witnessed its success in the Global Finals 2018. The common follow up to this Gateway heavy mid game is High Templar and Storm.
Players now either hit a timing before or after this conventional timing. This build is hits a delayed timing before Psi Storm completes. You can read more about this build in this article in TerranCraft.
This build is featured in the January 2019 Metagame Build Order.
