New season, new start, the crowds cheered.
As a nooby Gold Terran player I've always had problems with protoss. And my one and only placement was no exception.
I did a nice 3 rax concussive and stim push. did some nice damage and decided to expand with some bunkers. Then, something happened. These things entered my base. After scanning the protoss base to see the inevitable 4 gate that was coming I only saw 3..
"3 gate robo?" I thought...stupidly.
Back to the 'things' these Dark Templars as you call them.
The permanently cloaked units
The ones that can kill workers in 1 shot.
Yeah, that's the one.
So I lost, hard. Always making scv's and keeping on top of my macro, a LOT of good that did. I kind of wish I could just get stomped by diamond and masters guys all the time rather than dealing with this stuff.

Well, things like that tend to happen when you play a game of Starcraft. Don't worry, you will bounce back to achieve your goal of getting thrashed by Masters. On the bright side, at least it tells you your SCVs are being one shotted

Thing is... Those masters players you wish you were facing will have those dts in your base thirty seconds faster.
Putting all your faith in a scan is a very bad idea. If you want to get better, you will scout using units.
At the higher levels, these sorts of tech rushes are very powerful, and very common.

It will be worse when you get to masters. In gold league, DTs mean that your opponent is on one base, and all he has are DTs. In masters, DTs mean that you opponent is expanding, teching, and building an army while you are distracted.

This sounds like half of all my TvPs

Its only going to get worse at you go on. The terrans have the cloak bansee that is really just as bad beacuse you can't just throw down a scan for detection. You don't really need those MULE's for a bit beacuse going DT's is a real gas sink.
I'm not good but I think that you should be able to hold it off with scans while you get your ebay up. Your going to do really well once you can just shrug this off with a little dammage

if you really don't want people to "mind this," then you would have done it in a word document.
i don't play sc2 but apparently you didn't scout very well either. you have scans and engi bay for upgrades already right? just throw down a few turrets at key locations and ggyo.
|
You can't earn the right to get stomped by higher level players if you can't deal with the crap that lower level players pull on you. Get a turret, save a scan, scout more, etc. DT's are pretty easy to deal with as terran, so don't get so hung up on it.
Oh, and fast DT's don't stop in the higher leagues
|
invisible protis snipers are legendary but you know you should take some time to put in some effort to scout, if you think somethings wrong it doesnt hurt to tech detection... just take the loss and learn from it, and move on 
|
The number one thing about a DT rush is that you have to scout it. Either by scanning the base or putting on constant pressure. Hint: If there are 3 gateways and no tech buildings and no expo in the midgame, DT's are probably coming.
