Re: The never-ending supply of tech asşholes
Check at the beginning of the match and after the first missle for double harvesters. If you see that, its a hint to techlab. If you spot 2 harvesters or if they have Dr. Liang, they most likely use techunits. In that case, here are your missions:
1: Try to pressure both the missle and the harvesters at the same time.
2: Try to get some harvester kills, they will help. But don‘t waste units while doing so.
3: Move your units against the correct counters, don‘t let your tanks fight zone troopers for example.
4: First missle is vital. If you loose that one you are pretty much done for.
5: Try to destroy their base if you can‘t defeat the units. I very often have a Kodiak with me just for that.
6: You can bring a pocket-pick-techlabunit yourself to counter the techlabunit you struggle most against.
There you go, I can‘t really give more tips. I‘m just gonna say that I also hate to play against techlab players.
Oh, 1 more thing, I experimented with a no-harvester deck and it was surprisingly effective! Used correctly its good against techlab, too! ( WARNING: it is EXTREMLY micro intensive )
