EPTIf you're Terran, pushing like a Bamboo mofo towards Toss's natural, what is the 'best' defence against a DT drop? By 'best' I guess I mean lowest cost/micro etc.

Get four Vult's with Speed and Mines. Before you attack lay mines at your ramp to stop DT rush. When you get to Toss's ramp if you notice his Goon amounts seem too low a DT drop is probably coming. If his goon amounts are low enough you might be able to get in. Other general advice. When you first scout him keep track of his Pylon numbers to see if he is hidden teching. Also, when scouting with your SCV watch to see whether or not he is researching Goon range if you can stay in his base long enough. Building Zealots is also a good sign he is teching, although it could also mean a fast attack at your ramp. Hope this helps. | ||

I try to make a box with my depots close to my CC, thenput a turret in there, so his dts can't kill it.. then pretty much any unit can pick off the dts, preferably speed vultures. | ||

A few people have said a similar thing, I will try and do this from now on. If you know its coming I guess its not too hard to deal with.

Anyway, thanks again to everyone, I'll go back over the posts again now | ||

They will most likely retreat in which time you will have more awareness and defence set up. If they counter you need to do more damage then they do to you. multi-tasking goes well here. | ||
