## **Strategies:**

**Blue intel MMM timing push**

Do not hurry to expand and upgrade marines to be built quickly. Expand once you have started to make barracks and a supply depot(Can't lower them). upgrade a stimpack and build 1 factory. Build armory and research quick building. Make marauders constantly. Set the 3rd barracks for marine production and get 2 starports to build medivacs in bigger numbers. Build 3 medivacs and bring enough forces to fill them. get them near the enemy main(not natural) and activate sonic thrusters. drop in your enemy's mineral line and kill the townhall def. marines can overwhelm because of their spammability and marauders will slow all enemy units in area, that can cover a ramp. they are fully slowed and can't defend their main because of marine fire.

**Blue intel mech**

Expand faster, start building a refinery after barracks. Then supply depot. Build a marauder and get it into a bunker on you natural(build when you will establish the main eco), then the 3rd base and another bunker with marauder. Build 3 factories, armory and a singularity controller. Build 2 plasmers and a micro angel. Do it 3 times and switch to warhounds construction. make 2 cerberums and go to attack.

**Mass marines**

Nothing hard, just mass marines once the swarm upgrade is done and build medivacs to drop. This tactic usually fails in lategame, so add exterminators or other infantry units. Marines take less place and fire fast after stim infusion upgrade.
