I was scared multiple times Especially when I lost a gla v tank game I had won in 15 min and decided to quad spam vs bms for the rest of the game lol, tried not to make the same mistake this game!
Well just from the size of your base V china overlords aren't going to do all that much. Scuds would have owned but you must have spent your gen points already. The overlords were surrounded on all sides by tunnels. You would have been able to deal with them.
Agreeing with Dale, Rising did a good job holding off the attacks but OLs are atrociously bad in this matchup. They take half an hour to cross the map, don't kill Quad Cannons quickly (the only reason you should even be thinking about building them), they die to Scorps, they die to Jarmen, and they're hugely expensive. Unless you can pressure GLA somehow they just wait until you starve due to your inferior late game economy, then attack when you can't defend yourself.
You pretty much want to stick to early game units on the ground with ECMs and Infernos mixed in, maybe a Nuke Cannon or two as well if you want. Helixes and Migs will be doing most of the work, but Flamers/Outposts/Gatts/ECMs are still usable against Quadspam.
Not sure I agree really. Overlords do have lots of flaws but they're all vchina has really. You need something to stop gla from just mindlessly quad spamming. Dragon's are ok but it's very tough to make much progress with them.
Enjoy
