I posted the pics here because someone said that "lings can get in just about anywhere", so I thought I'd share some ling-blocking builds in case you need to keep them out fast. I wasn't going to start a whole new thread just for 5 screenshots.

And just because you don't like a match-up, doesn't mean it's imbalanced. You probably think that TvT is imbalanced as well because you keep getting owned right?

Edit: sorry, didn't see he got banned, didn't want to start a flame war but I get itchy when people say things like that.
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

This is quite a useful thread. Can someone post pictures of formations that work on other maps such as Requiem, etc.? Or perhaps PvZ placements to slow down lings (I know it's kind of off topic here)? I'm honestly too lazy to test them myself

On any position and on any map, put a supply to the right side of a rax. This should allow a rine through but not a zealot.

Also supply on the right side of an academy will stop lings, on any map, provided you have the other side covered

And pvz is easy, since you can't really stop lings, just jam a few buildings in front of the cannons (forge / gate / cybercore) very close to them so that only one ling can pass at a time. In case he attacks just place probes/zealots in where lings are coming through and it should be ok. No point in memorising cannon placements, since fast expo positions are infinetly diverse.

yeah, this is nice
never thought of this

however, there's a catch.

a good protoss player wouldnt just let the zeolots stick aroudn getting hit by the marines, they'd probably go and target some SCVs or just keep alive long enough for the goons to come

CGMU, bunker for static defense is sometimes necessary, if you dont feel safe when FE cuz you dont know what the P is doing. He might do bulldog and the one bunker might just be able to save you.

.... What you're meant to do is attack the zealot whenever you can. If the zealot decides to try and attack your rine, you simply run it away and the zealot can't do anything. If the zealot goes back for the scvs again, you just move that 1 scv that is under attack, and while you do that you can attack his zealot with your rine. If he doesn't run his zealot then its almost certainly dead.

With the recent talks about terran building placements, I decided to revamp and completely redo my guide on building placement vs zealots. Hope it helps!

No it doesn't. The CC stops the rine from going through, even when the rax is 1 matrix down.
