Its too bad I'm going to bed, I'll have to watch this rep tomorrow. Have you tried killing the probes with scvs, btw? | ||

The only thing i can think of is the terran should've pulled most SCVs and actually fight the probes, I guess? Sure probes have better acceleration and shield, but while you can take advantage of that in 1v1 worker combat, good luck microing all of them. And you're not exactly in the position to run them around for shields to recharge. | ||

In other words - probe rush counter = micro | ||

In other words - probe rush counter = micro Clearly you didn't read the OP. Im the toss in this replay, but im a terran user. And after seeing this strat I had to try it out. And tbh im scared shitless of it. Probes have range.... and betetr acceleration witch is so key in worker vs worker battles. | ||

Watch the replay: it was a 12 probe rush with an inbase proxy, not the 4 probe one. The counter is micro and a faster rax. The rax was terribly slow - he was afraid of a gas steal so he took it early, but a rax on 13 is still waaaay to late - and that cost him. T could've just walled - your pylon doesn't block any sort of wall-in from what I see. | ||

And you can delay rax with good probe micro. And yeah he may have been able to wall in, this was the first time I tried it. | ||

but honestly. 5+6 probes off the supply line with a proxy 2 gate could be devastating | ||
