Battlecruiser Mech wins 47.0% of decided games across 66 TvZ ladder games from 3 players since patch 5.0.16. The likely range for its true win rate is 35.4–58.8%, so it is too close to call against a coin flip. It appears in 28.2% of the 234 TvZ games in the guide sample. This guide is newly published, so there is no weekly trend yet. This is still a small sample (n = 66), so treat it as a directional read.

Key timings
These timings come from 65 recorded build orders by 3 players. Buildings are timed when construction starts, upgrades and morphs when they finish, exactly as the replay records them. The median player starts Armory at 10:55, with the middle half between 9:20 and 12:58. Winning games start Barracks at 1:33 on median, against 1:37 in losses. Timing data is still thin (n = 65 replays), so expect these medians to move.
