Overview[edit]
Opening with fast Infernal Pre-Igniter-upgraded Hellions, with the intention of a soon to follow Siege Tank push. Marines from a Reactor add the early fire-power for this build before choosing whether to Mech or Bio-Tank.
Goal[edit]
Feint a Reactor Hellion Expand (vs. Zerg) and research Infernal Pre-Igniter with Marines to add pressure with Bunkers on a fast expand or stockpile for an early Bio-Tank push.

Notes[edit]
- Two Factories worth of Siege Tanks cannot be produced from only one mining base worth of gas.
- Do not delay Siege Tank production too long, though Siege Tech does not be and use Bunkers and Marines to secure the natural.
Documentation[edit]
- ESC.Goody is well known for his Siege Tank heavy style, and terrifyingly bad macro.
