wow thank you for the videos! the muta micro looked like HAX I can't make it work

I have huge problems getting my mutas to fire at the maximum range. When I pull it back at max range it always doesn't fire.. I can only get it to shoot at 2 range and I'm doing m click right click, m click a click, hold and patrol,. I've tried it all.
Please send me a PM of any song you like that I most probably never heard of! I am looking for people to chat about writing and producing music | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noD-bsOcxuU |

That's something you must figure by feeling about that maximum range. It cannot be explained in words. :/

Isn't it too greedy to go 12 hatch -> 13 pool?

How do you know it's safe to build the spawning pool so late?


As long as it's not center 2 Barracks rush, you can stop ANYTHING. Also, it is not late. About 5 seconds(Assumption) slow compare to 11 Spawning pool.
If the game flow is all safe plays, your 3rd hatchery and gas timing are faster than the original 3 Hatchery Opening.
The original build order starts the gas at 2:56~58. The newest and optimized 3 Hatchery Opening can start the gas at 2:50~52.

Back to your question. Even if you are going 11 Spawning Pool, you will be having a huge difficulty of fighting against center 2 Barracks rush. That's something you must scout with your drone.

8 Barracks Bunker rush = have 12 Drones out to the field, produce drones until the supply number 15.
Since you do not start 3rd hatchery, you have 12 Drones are fighting against 2~3 marines + # of SCVs and 3 drones are mining mineral with 250++ Mineral in your pocket.
12 Drones will most likely to win the fight of Bunker rush nowadays.
That's why the Terran players usually get only 3 SCVs with their Marines to snipe some Drones.
Tip: losing more than 5 Drones will put you behind.

Think of a concept of PvZ where Protoss plays 2 Gateways wall and then hard core Zealots push with 4 Probes. From the Protoss's PoV, he continues to produce Zealots and Probes. Zerg has to decide from every single Larva so Zerg loses his time to fill up his # of workers to mine Minerals.
Is the superiority of a 13 pool over an 11 pool true for a 2 hatch builds as well? Should I start doing 12 hatch, 13pool ,12 gas sort of builds when i decide to 2h, or?

For the 2 hatch tech, I would suggest you to 12 hatch 12 gas 11 pool. Let's take a deep analysis.
For 3 hatch, you made 2 drones then spawning pool. You used 100 mineral before pool.
2 hatch tech, you made 1 drone and morphed an extractor. You used 100 mineral before pool.

I hope this made a clear explanation for your question, and thank you for visiting my guide. ^^


I've been thinking to create more guide of B.O., but then I don't want to get sniped by players. :D
I would need some of second thoughts. Sorry for the waiting.

Nice game, sadly that build only works for gosus with good micro. But I really was scratching my head during the start. Shuttle never comfirmed your opening in the early game. He did not have a single unit at your natural to see you move out and take your natural. Why is that? He could have done some damage considering you delayed your first tank for a faster CC.

He could have tried to gather some information with those beginning units, but it's not a best choice. he saw my 1 scv on ramp with marines holding. Since it's crossed map position, I think he just confident enough to stop any rush since he did 1 zeal 3 goons opening. I would have done 3 marines into 23 cc, but I saw his first zealot so I made more marines and 1 SCV on ramp into 26 cc before a tank.

Note: Also, it is impossible to break a ramp when there is 5 marines with a SCV. It will be just his disadvantage if he tries to trade/waste against marines. Marines are not useful in late game. Early those goons and a zealot is very important.

I see, thanks. With doing damage I meant at the time you moved down the ramp with 5 marines and 2 tanks, he could have had 1 zealot and 4 goons I think, which is enough to kill all marines without losing a dragoon and possibly snipe a tank.

People don't do siege expo because your vultures are way too late, and protoss can easily take 3rd nexus with 6 dragoons.
Also, 4 marines 2 tanks 1 vulture can easily win against 4 goons 1 zealot.
