Blitz raid

Geo builds a Vehicle Plant very early and pushes out Blitz tanks from around 4:14 to raid before falling back to the usual T2 economy and Starlight transition.

Usually blows up the commander for T2 (68%)

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • BlitzT1 vehicle raid from 4:14 · 6% of role by thenFrom the Vehicle Plant. Only 6% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 7:26
  • Vehicle PlantVehicle Plant in 100%15% of all Geo games by then
  • BlitzBlitz in 64%4% of all Geo games by then

Started with Blitz (97%), Rover (1%), Pincer (1%).

Where those units first fight, in 68 games with kill data: in the middle 82%, on their own side 16%.

Those units destroy a typical 1,308 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Starlight (16% of army), Jaguar (12% of army), Platypus (9% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Vehicle Plant by 3:59, Blitz by 5:28

  1. Open triple mex and wind into Bot Lab as usual for Geo.
  2. Get the geo plant up on the normal Geo timing.
  3. Skip the T2 rush and pump Blitz from an early Vehicle Plant instead.
  4. Push Blitz out to raid and fight at middle ahead of the role norm.
  5. Transition back into the usual T2 push with Advanced Vehicle Plant and Starlight.
