I promised you a build by tonight and instead I have two!
These were pulled from Proleague Round 2 Week 4 – CJ_Bunny vs Bomber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R6K3rkslZc
The first build is currently my T vs ALL build – I am generally trying to go at my opponent with MMM + tank/widow mine. Here are my notes:
VS Terran? Make marine tankivac and take bases.
VS Protoss? MMM all day and scout – could need ghost, could need viking, mines underrated in harass.
VS Zerg? MMM tank gets you half way there, mines are amazing – think about how the hell do you beat ultras? (I’m assuming ghost but I haven’t gotten there yet).
The basic premise of this build is to get you on a roll into the mid-game. I will warn you that harassing with a reaper and suddenly looking up to 2k minerals is not the way to win the mid game. You have to pay attention to your transitions and continuously make depots – take expansions rapidly and build more barracks/factories/starports depending on what you see your opponent do. DON’T FORGET STIM – worry about adding on attack and armor upgrades like Bomber and Bunny when that’s the only reason you’re losing the game. Fundamentals first – throw yourself to uncertainty and learn from your mistakes (my top three are falling in love with the harass, no scouting, and misreading how greedy I can or cannot be).

The second build I haven’t even tried yet! It’s Bombers leg of the early game and it is based around harassment and timings. Go at this build if you’ve already got the fundamentals down and are looking to challenge yourself – I highly suggest watching the VOD at least once to get an idea of how Bomber navigates the game.
