tvp is impossible for me. tvz is really easy even with low apm. but i played a zvt a tvt and a tvp today and it was horrible.

the zvt he tried to bunker rush an expo that i cancelled and even with my really late pool i ling-owned him.

the tvt was a very poorly executed two fact that also had a very poorly executed breakout that cost me the game.

the tvp was horrible. I 2 fact against a protoss and hes pyloning up his base on andromeda. somehow a dt gets in and triggers mines that blows up half my army, forcing me to retreat back to base. He then proceeds to go dt-reaver, the most homo thing known to man, and still out macroes me with 9000 goons despite my best efforts at minimizing damage.

i then play another tvp where i get goon busted on tau cross. ugh...

what do i do against goon pressure/dt/reaver? halp!

the secret to success is........its easy, listen well.....

the answer is turrets.
hell if you are still sitting at the choke of your nat, all you need is one, and float on ebay up and out.

and dts aren't fast, so i dunno how close you are mining to your army.

Jep, Turrets are your friends. I often build like 6 of them, because on the lower ICCUP levels, you're bound to get DT dropped at some point in the game. If there's only one standing around, 4 DTs will take it down within a second. Also, leave a Siege Tank next to all of your CCs and mine your base up (not near your mineral lines obv.). This should get the job done.

I know what you mean, it's hard for me as well. Terran vs Protoss I usually try to FE early game to get an early advantage but that's all reduced when toss decides to FE 3 times to counter my FE. This usually gets me angry and decide to camp until i have pop. of 110 then move out. while trying to receive another expo. Sometimes the toss also decides to not expo again but mass more units to attack me when i move out. it's frustrating!!

I suggest you use the 5 marine FD build every game with a fast armory then straight up to 6 facts. Move out at around 90-100 supply with 1-0 ups plenty of tanks and vults and a few goliaths and those marines for those goddamn shuttles. Oh and don't forget your ebay after your CC is down.
