Brilliant Idea! Terran rushes protoss with a handful of SCV/marines and build mass supply depots instead of bunkers and micros them to death. Sounds like an awesome way to toy a newb eh? xD | ||

no true afaik:X There are certain maps, and building placements where u can block completely. I remember on LT, a factory and acadamy did just that. (I want to say a xellos or nad game where they went 2 port wraith) Obvioisly wont matter vs 9 pool, but still;P | ||

You're meant to run through, not just stand in between, because the Zealot can't fit through. | ||

After initial rush having a choke point is very important. This opening will lead to intense micro for terran costing him time, Perhaps opening with 8 rax will stop the proxy rush but where will that leave u in terms of tech timing. I would like to see an 8-9 rax opening for a metal build on maps such as these. hmm...8 rax 1 fact 1 port may be effective (vults or tanks ur choice keeping in mind how much toss has spent on zeals). But i myself usually have no trouble holding a proxy with 10 rax rine pump into a gundam. Maybe 8 rax 15 fact then expo ? realitivly slow opening in terms of offense but that doesnt stop terrans these days. Any ideas? Well think about it this way. If you're playing on luna, FD is a very viable build. If you did not place your buildings in any special way, you would fight off the first zealots (if toss went zealots into goons at the start) by using your typical scv + marine micro running around etc. Most people don't have trouble with taking on the first goon + zealot because the tank is coming out soon by then. By usign the placement of the buildings to make that special gap, you can relieve the pressure of the zealot by not having to use scvs to stop the zealots.

It does in fact seem to be ignoring it completely... in simple terms: Q) what do I do if I can't build to the right A) build to the right riight Diverse got it right in his pic. It doesn't matter where your rax + supply combination is, just not too far away from your mineral line so its easier to defend your mineral line. Here's a simple explanation: Case 1: Minerals are to the right of your cc; solution = rax + supply (supply is on the right side of the rax). Case 2: Minerals are not to the right of your cc; solution = raxn on the right side of cc, or supply on the right side of a rax.

You can place it in the middle but its hard to do that accurately. Better to just run through when youre microing hard and trying to macro at the same time. I'll try that palcement on luna and see if I can get it to work outqast. [Edit] Funny that... it doesn't seem to work on Luna in that placement. The zealot still cant go through and you can do the running trick, but you cant place your marine and leave it there so the zealots cant touch the rine. As you can see in the 4th pic those 2 zealots are walking around aimlessly so it works on LT. Just do the run through thing.

If he goes after your marine, run towards the gap and through it if you need. | ||

I can sit the rine in there if it is rax + cc and it works. Thanks though that is a cool tip. | ||

Ignoring obviously bad maps like Guillotine... 1. Let's take a look at stats. http://www.pgtour.net/ladder.stats.php , http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=15963 , http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=15932 2. But wait, stats mean nothing. (insert rant about good players v bad players). Okay, let's try to find other Terrans sharing a similar concern as you do, as clearly it is a serious problem if they face such enormous odds stacked against them in every TvP. So let's try to find people whining about PvT imbalance by searching for "PvT imbalance" at TeamLiquid. http://teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q="pvt imbalance" , aka no results, as none of those threads mention that PvT is imbalanced. Compare to http://teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q="pvz imbalance" 3. But let's imagine, that despite this overwhelming evidence, let's pretend that you, CGMU, have stumbled upon something that no one has yet discovered in a game dating back many many years, a game in which zealot rush v Terran must never have been attempted despite it being mainstream against both other races, and this monumental discovery could be one that would allow you to go down in history with such other brilliant Starcraft strategists such as the author of the Official Prima Strategy Guide and that guy that peddles that ProGamer book that Leg did a chapter for. So let's consider your masterful reasoning. terran needs perfect building placements to SURVIVE a zealot rush (I'm not even going to dignify your comment on lack of static defense with a response. Not only does T have static defense: ![[image loading]](http://www.rpgclassics.com/subsites/starcraft/images/bunker.gif) anyone who needs to use them in TvP is about as deserving of posting in the Strategy Forum of this website as a wasted baboon.) According to you, you need to wall-in in order to "SURVIVE" a zealot rush (ignoring such trivialities like "micro" or "not sucking hard at build order", since attack-move is obviously all anyone needs). Therefore, on maps where you can't wall-in, it's impossible to "SURVIVE" said zealot rush without "perfect" building placement. Which is why, of course, Terran loses every single TvP game on Luna, or Hunters, or Blizzard's old LT at the 6 position, or any of the other eighty thousand maps where walling is impossible. Goddamn, you should be in Korea winning every tournament with nothing but your juggernaut war-machine zealots raping every T ever. Who needs micro and macro when you have your PATENTED CGMU PVT ZEALOT RUSH FREEWIN ability? | ||

The way I usually use doesn't block the lings, but if you replace one of the supply depots in any block with a academy then AFAIK it blocks the lings out. | ||
