11/11 Cuts an scv for too long, you need too much eco for this build.

However when datoby saw the siege mode he opted to take his 3rd... when he did my attack came out and forced the GG. I'll get another shadow rush replay and upload it soon. | ||

The problem with 11/11 is that it takes 2 scvs off mining + the 1 building = 7 scvs mining. 12/12 allows 9 scvs mining, and a more macro efficient scout. Its almost like the 12/12 rax in TvZ. | ||

I'm not trying to be mean here, as I think spending time on this is nice, but I honestly think you would be more useful picking up a few *rare* *real* practice replays from a few pro gamers and writing down their build orders and discussing them, than just writing what you just did, that I don't think will ever prove to be useful outside PWNING THE OWNAGE METER ON US EAST ! | ||

Its almost like the 12/12 rax in TvZ. The problem is that in the replay for "2 Factory Power Expo" (you recomend 12/12 for this very build) you have started game with 11/11. And 11/11 takes only 2 scvs off mining: the building scv is almost finished when you send mining scv to build refinery. That means we don't lose mining time at all and 12/12 doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense exactly as poster above me. | ||

Good work on this, and get going on the TvZ and TvT :D ~KaMiKaZi you are wrong and would do right by getting to know the big names of the game you are playing or at least commenting on. Liquid`Drone is hardly one to get "jealous" let alone in a strategy thread.. | ||

as a side note... I think it's interesting to see how far this game has come, makes you feel old when reading posts about people who don't know Eri and stuff =O | ||

Let's say you now play in a korean ladder, with 70% of the first 50 wins beeing proxy gates o_O Obviously if you scout their base on a 13 scout, lets say first or second scout, their zeal still wont be there ( 2 marines , 3rd coming) when the first arrives and you notice their base empty, simply build a bunker -> vulture -> add-on and your good to go. I actually faced this 3x in PGT and that was the outcome, seeing how the vulture will force a forge @ the main it will definately hurt macro. | ||

Then you would still have 9 scvs mining. Youre completely right  Lastshadow doesn't know what hes talking about here. You wait til 225 and start gas while you send out your scv for rax...the timing works perfectly. Its superior to 12/12 when you are not walling. It also allows for a significantly faster FD (fake double) push. Thats the actual name for "Midas Rush" by the way | ||
