Hi there,

I've got a couple questions about the BBS cheese, specifically TvZ: what is the general strategy behind actually engaging the zerg with your small force? Questions I have are, for example: A) should I bring SCV's with my marines, and how many? B) Should I build an offensive bunker, and if so, where? And C) what should I be targeting with the marines? Natural hatch? Drones? Spawning Pool? Let's assume my opponent went 3 hatch with respect to these questions. Thanks for any help guys!

If you're gonna troll, you should bring as much SCVs that you can pump marines out of 2 rax but nothing else; a true all in. With those SCVs you dont need a bunker, just roll over him.

So for maximum cheese; BBS proxy w/ SCVs.

You want to kill his Drones. BBS hits when Zerg has like 13 or so Drones. Your SCV are expendable; try to not lose Marines. An average Zerg will roflstomp this strat, tho.

Type "I hope you brought crackers" at the beginning of the game for maximum troll.

Your BBS should be (you need to time your scvs to be in the central point of a map when you hit 150 minerals with 1st and 2nd rax)

8 rax
9 rax
9 depot

you scout with each scv after it finished the barrack. Depending on what zerg plays:

- vs 12 pool you gather as many marines before getting scouted and you fight with lings
- vs 12 hath you bunker rush, but don't finish the bunker unless zerg starts fighting back with drones or w/e.

If you end up with even economy (e.g you lost some, but he only has 7-8 drones) you can try and block his ramp and go for normal game (scout with 1 scv to see if he doesn't have extra expo)

If you end up canceling his natural hath make sure to start making a bunker and putting pressure at his main base asap
