So based on what i read in Grot's thread about tvz, and my common sense, when you go 3 rax, you must contain your opponent until you find out his choice of lair units, and tech like mad if you see lurkers, and expand rather quickly if you see muta (you can hold it with your great marine numbers). Also if you are getting many marines from your 3 raxes it's probably not a bad idea to get both academy upgrades and ebay upgrades pretty soon. | ||

You either hope to finish the zerg with it before lair tech (if you fail you lose 99%), or you you hope your opponent goes muta (he goes lurker you're in bad shape because you won't be able to hold an expo for a while - you really need tanks to stop cliff lurks on LT, and you can't always get that perfect turret +bunk + ebay on your cliff so you'll probably need vessels too. Meanwhile the zerg will firmly grasp the map with his lurkers to which marines are not exactly the counter and have 3-4 expos by the time you have 1) So based on what i read in Grot's thread about tvz, and my common sense, when you go 3 rax, you must contain your opponent until you find out his choice of lair units, and tech like mad if you see lurkers, and expand rather quickly if you see muta (you can hold it with your great marine numbers).

Put early pressure on the zerg and attack his sunken line with 2 bats and 4 medics as early as possible or something like that, I think keeping the pressure on the zerg is really important for a successfull 3rax build. Sometimes it might even be smart to attack the sunkens if there are like 5 and some ling as well as this will force the zerg to use drones for new sunkens and perhaps he might even forget to make newone. Anyway it WILL lower his drone-count a bit which is very important. Also, losing some m&m early on is no big deal since you can make new fast. Mutta will be no problem and a lot of zerg do go fast exp muta to keep you in your base while they expand and go lurker. Its all very much about what the zerg does, obviously, but 3 rax is definately a viable build IF you have good micro and are able to keep up your macro while microing. You (and I as well ^^V) need to play more so we get a good feel for what the zerg is doing and then you will know what to do to counter and rape him. =) | ||

slows down your tech, but just like the early zlots, you can punish the zergs who tech too fast. 3 rax can beat a lot of sunkens. get weapon 1 early. 2 rax, than 3 when money allows. if you cannot break in, wait, mass then try. if he gets mutas, keep some marines in base, get late fact, and get starport asap. get scis. afew tanks, YOUR ARMY IS YOUR MARINE MEDIC. remember that. sunken is just for the seiging. you should surround lurkers and kill them. dont rely on your tanks or sscis, rely on your marine medic. | ||

3 rax relies alot of micro. If you can't micro well, i don't think this is such a good strat to use. | ||
