And expoing vs proxy rax? Are you mentally challenged? The whole point of proxies + bunker rush is to KILL your expo. So just lay the pool down asap, get drones down to kill the SCV and any rines you can. GL | ||

Typical Battle.Net players....no. If you scout the proxy, or see the lack of raxes in the base, then you should pool ASAP. It's 10x safer, and it can help you win the game, if not win you the game from the lack of protection in the opponents base. | ||

looks like your main mistake was slacking on your ling numbers, you should keep a very close eye on how much rines he has and when he is moving out | ||

Also as a particular thing for 12v3 temple, you might wanna experiment with 9hatch/9pool before overlord. I dunno it takes away any pressure of them doing early marine stuff to you and if you are at 3 you can sorta option it by scouting directly with your lord and by the time you are ready to hatch you should have his choke uncovered so if he sent an SCV out or built a rax really low you will see them. If you dont see them then the chance of them being at 12 is much lower. | ||

He did say he 12pooled and that should be enough to fend of the proxies barely in time. Actually, I think I was just annoyed that you ask someone if they're mentally retarded when they had the right idea. | ||

I'm not joining in the arguments or being snide, since I don't play ZvT, but I was under the impression that that would take damned good micro from Z and/or really bad micro from the T. | ||

also 9 hatch 9 pool 9 overlord is underrated build. 12v3 bbs is possible to defend. Bbs is actually slower than 8 rax.Watch Savior vs. Yooi for example of defending proxy bbs not 12v3 on lt but still. | ||
