@ sft i am anders, WTF
seriously have you faced a top por yet cause their beam is WAY more annoying if you are making flammers (it's better than the vortex)
first thing i have to say about your bg problem don't get your hook if your opponent is also going for it (you don't have enough flammers yet to get it and stave of the vortexing chieftan) instead send 1 flashbang flammer or 2 flammers to his hook, that's it
not sure what your talking about blood river, but basically upgrade to flashbang, it is useful. also hogs are a good idea against covy on br, just send your hogs to his base and prevent him from getting a second brute (it works out that your hogs would get gunner before he can make a second brute)
stay infront of his base with as many hogs as you can, send 2 marines to the hooks right away (one to their one to your put the one nearest there's in a tower), you should be able to get one of them. even if you dont you will force the cheiftan to recal when he does make sure you got flammers near the hook and take out his brutes. on bloodriver the person that wins is the person that manages to get the most use out of the supply hooks
