I mean, isn't a pool first build pretty standard on Tau Cross because of that choke, so shouldn't they expect early lings? Am I just playing sub par terrans? I dunno, I haven't played like more than 3 games of ICCUP since like season 2, where I got D+ and stopped, so maybe it's always like this late in the season? On a bright note, yay, I'm D+ again! When does the season end? Might try for C- if I have some time.   | ||

I dunno, that my be a bit harsh, but it seems like everyone has this super macro mindset nowadays. Btw, this blog doesn't really have a point. I know that at my level, I shouldn't be expecting super intelligent play or anything. Just kinda bored, so thought I'd vent a bit, and be happy with my D+. | ||

scouting is very lacking at that level of terran, scv production is as well adaptation to diff builds is a huge thing most terrans at that level lack and the ability to marine micro in marine vs ling skirmishes. early lings pose a large threat to terran esp if he went 1 marine cc. most terrans expect their marines to be extremely strong, using them offensively even when they only have about 5 with no medics, and end up getting raped by 8 lings. but at that level, you can probably expect to rip thru terrans by... backstabbing with lings when they try to contain you with first marine medic force. backstabbing with lurkling army when terran is outside lurker dropping 4 pool (omg so deadly) 9 pool speedlings 3 hatch speedlings mutaling all-in and w/e. most of these come from the lack of scouting. | ||

If you don't scout the right way, you have to memorize the timing in which a 9 pool would arrive and bring scvs to wall at that time. so you have a combination of semi-difficult memorization with the fact that most D zergs 12 hatch. So a D terran can afford to shrug off a 9 pool loss | ||

TvZ is ridiculously difficult at low levels. It's not just because of the mechanics, but there's just so many things zerg can do to screw over terran, as ramen noted. What can terrans do? Bunker rush, 4-rax all in, fast dropship... and that's about it. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + it evens works on pro-gamers, hyvva raped by.SaiR last night in winners league with overpool cuz by.SaiR went cc first. Not like he got an advantage, I mean he ended the game in 3 minutes, pretty sad for a progamer if you ask me t.t | ||

I usually scout after rax and if it's a 4-player map, the lings will arrive just before I scout the last position. With bnet latency, I find it impossible microing 2 rines against 6 lings and it's usually game over for me right then and there. Now, I usually block my ramp with a few SCVs just in case if I scout the zerg last. TvZ is ridiculously difficult at low levels. It's not just because of the mechanics, but there's just so many things zerg can do to screw over terran, as ramen noted. What can terrans do? Bunker rush, 4-rax all in, fast dropship... and that's about it. tvz and tvp really have a steep learning curve, and you see it reflected in D level play. Oh well. That's what makes terran so fun to play (and why terrans tend to be near homicidal when it comes to protoss) | ||

7a8a9a awesome. zerg 12 hatch on tau is asking to be cannon rushed/mannar pylonzored. | ||

Right, that's kinda my point. I was playing Tau Cross all these games, so I would think that Terrans would EXPECT a pool first build. That's why I was surprised. | ||

That's what I'd do... Terran players are generally terrible anywhere up to C imo... edit: In response to the 4-pool comment, I 4-pooled my way into D+ on my MS natural keyboard lol ^^ | ||

Ah well, maybe I'll get some PvZ's later and get 1a2a3a'd to death. =D | ||

I don't even bother walling though, I just get a faster fac and make 4-5 rines. | ||

You can 1 depot wall the outside of your main choke at top right. You only need a 2 depot wall at the left spot (if someone knows something better, please tell me). Those depots will also make it a lot harder for your units to get out later in the game. And you can at least wall goon tight everywhere with 1 depot+rax. Still annoying to deal with though  . | ||
