EPTif you see that the other team is powering for a rush then add as many cannons as u need to hold it while teching and adding gates. you must be constantly pumping probes off your 2 nex 3 if you want. you should be able to max on this map in like 10 minutes. make huge amounts of cannons, try and reaver/temp drop so u can rape their workers. also get 3 forges for ups right away. Basically you get so much money in this map that u can get everything at once. but dont get carriers. goons/zeal/dts/temp/arbs along with reaver drops. make sure u make a ridiculous amount of cannons. when your not making units your making cannons. the faster u can max the map the less units your opponents will have. cannon rushes can be good too since 99.9% of the players are noobs. If you cant kill them with just your units of protoss then mc your ally zerg first and if not then settle for terran. you want to stay away from air in this map because A it builds too slow and B it gets pwned too ez by mass storms or golies etc. A nice 36 guardian attack can tear shit up tho. Ah this map was funny playing stoned or drunk after a night of partying but still pwning it up.
[Q] Anyone has strategy for fastest map ??? - Page 4

davidgurt fmp rep pack: click here. Watching some of my old replays really made me sad. You can watch them to get a basic idea of how fastest is played, but please don't criticize how I play in any of those games. My APM was only around 160 most of the time; my builds were inconsistent and poorly executed; and this was before I really learned how to play (thanks to a month or so of playing low  ). In addition, the replays range from more than a year ago to approximately last summer. Needless to say, I've improved a lot since.  Also, for anyone who wants to know just how "good" I claim I am, I can elaborate on that. I personally believe that I was one of the top ten players on the West bnet server for at least a month, after I began playing low and developed a real sense for the game. My APM jumped from 160 to 250, and I definitely learned a lot in terms of overall gameplay. I competed in vgtour for only one season, beating the #2 ranked 1;1 player in a bo3, but did not play too actively in it. I also participated in numerous clan battles and met a ridiculously large number of people who played fastest, many of which I could recall if I happened to play them in a later game. The maps I've played on, beginning 8-9 years ago, were bgh -> low -> zero clutter -> fastest -> low, in that order. I began playing zero clutter (aka zc) in channel clash and then continued by playing fastest in channel bravo, where I met powerhouse (apparently he played in WCG at the time as well), cloudxx2, z-unit, hornyflip, crimson)s(hadow, sod-warrior, guyabovemesucks, crazy-vegeto, vincent_guapo, and many more. | ||

BTW, I'm still quite a noob. I'm not going to be judging you. My highest average APM was 122, and that was with Terran too. | ||

He can comsat (or otherwise detect your observers), take out your observers, cloak his wraiths, and kill any of your air units easily. How are you going to get templars near his siege tanks when his air support will prevent drops and you obviously can't walk into the tanks? I'm thinking you'd have to do something like hallucinate arbiters (a LOT of hallucinations), send them in, then send in some real arbiters, recall a massive army of zlots/goons/archons and hope for the best. If he has that many siege tanks, he can only have so many air units. Spend all your money on carriers and obs. | ||

I assure you, 99.9% of fastest players will not think of comsat + obs sniping, much less try to attempt it. I should think if he's at a choke, then stasis/recall + sair/disruption web will probably work. Otherwise continuous speedlots + storm from 36+ gates should be able to break his tank line if he's not at a choke | ||

In one of those PvP replays you guys were doing mass goon/reav/temp battle for 20 minutes straight. I had to turn off my sound and speed up to 16x to get through that. I just wanted to see how it'd end. | ||
