I was playing my normal Metagame. When i scouted the Tech into Fenneks i decided to go Black Ops to counter it with Spectre. It took way to long and i was dead instantly. In my Opinion Fenneks are just a Joke. Oto/Scorpio canīt hold it. And towers got shred to pieces. I could have tried to harrass, but when your base is killed at 4times the speed you can kill something you almost have to defend...

Do u ever try to harass his economy at 5 min? or do u ever try to attack his base with Oto/Scorpio before his fennek come out?Come on, u know whats the point.
I feel the fennik is kinda strong ( im a chimera player ) well, its like a vextra's baby brother with less armor and does not require an upgrade for stealth. Point is, it does take some time getting out the sword vehicle bay, Dergeartner went too greedy vs this. But if I was to nerf the fennik, id slow it down so its just a tad slower than a scopio, and increase the alu cost to at the very least 350 so its 500/350. because the way i look at it is, its almost the same price as a grenadier 400/200. But as andre says IDUNNO

The fennek atm is better than a metal storm and an exosoldier, but i do like the unit.
In my opinion i would nerf its range and increase its cost a bit this way it would be only good as harassment or for defence against weird allins.

A very short game with a new strategy being featured so there is not an awful lot to say about this, as the losers downfall wasn't a series of mistakes, rather an inability to counter the featured strategy. Not an awful lot to say about this replay but features a new strategy you could learn from.
Good use of Jackals capture enemy bank and detect fennecks.
Nice eco expansion, you had 6 ref's out very quickly. Had you been able to survive the Fennecks this would have set you up nicely.
CONS/TIPS:
Although your eco was great, it may have been your downfall this game. Just as an observation, maybe you should try getting faster units out, a hind drop on the enemy base early on would have stopped your opponent dead in his tracks as he sold his only means of making Pumas.
Very nice to see you scouting with a Crusher on such a large map.
Good early bank harassment with Puma's and SAS
Unique strategy that I haven't seen before, you sold the Spear Vehicles Bay and went for the Sword afterwards. The Fenneck spam proved to be an unstoppable force.
CONS/TIPS:
Maybe go for that second bank slightly earlier your opponent had his a while before you had yours.
Entertainment value: 7/ 10
A very quick and rather brutal replay, but certainly worth a watch as it will open your mind up to a new and different strategy and provoke thoughts on how to counter it. Not the most entertaining game in terms of sheer action as it's over by the 12 minute mark, but whoever said short and to the point was boring?
Its me Embree on the replay.
