Double expo before gateway I believe you mean 12 nexus -> keep making marine, tak 6-8 scv, rally vulture and try to kill it. It's hard on cross position. | ||

An alternative to going all in is getting vulture with mine quickly and mine up the map to slow down Protoss and keep tabs on where they are at. | ||

And when or depending on what do you decide to destroy the Assimilator (and how many SCVs do you use in addition to the marines you can spare?) and when do you build it in the natural instead? One should point out that killing the 12nex doesn't mean that Terran is ahead, it just means that the game is about evened out - unless Protoss lost too many probes. Normally it just means: Retreat in time, because many goons will few-shot the forward bunker and be pressuring the natural, soon. | ||

SO when you go in detail there are so many small adjustments you need to do / know.. I gave a high level explanation. Obviously protoss can do anytihng from gas steal into nexus, gas steal with gate in base, gas steal with gate at your natural, then he can make 1-4 zealots etc.. Each thing requires different answers, different gas timing, different priority on marine / expanding / killing the gas or making it in natural etc. For 12 nex if you do it correctly you are usually ahead if you know how to continue. Sometimes it is best to contain on 1 base, sometimes 1 fact 1 port is better, sometimes a turret ring is better, sometimes you want to expand and outmacro protoss, sometimes you want to expand into timing etc. | ||

I know such basic questions can get advanced players into somewhat of a predicament to "sum up" what cannot be summed up. Expert's dilemma. I still appreciate your recurrent efforts to offer help. | ||

Starcraft is not chess, insuffecienty information gives more dimensions to these 3 basic ideas, at least at the execution level, conceptually you are correct. | ||

The reason is simple - if protoss goes forward gateway zealot you gonna be still in losing position going rax expand due to bad micro. Using cc first u will lose immediately and dont lose more time prelonging game, looking for miracle that usually won't happen. But if protoss scouts late and goes for dragon first, you are in very good position, even better if he went 12 nexus. Just need to scout for 3rd base early on and if so go for some quick 4 fact push allin, cutting scvs. literal defeatist/losing mentality. also if you’re going to most likely lose to zealot pressure going for a barracks, and this is so common at lower levels, why would you say that these same losers should instead gamble on a build that will? | ||

against nexus first, you should pull 7 scvs if you scout it in time then just fuckin attack with marines and rally a vulture so it arrives shortly after your bunker is started. then just fuck him up and try to kill probes, but if you dont kill probes you're even. welcome to tvp | ||

I literally did explain why, but looks like you can't get it. I don't lose against forward zealots pressure, but often set myself back because of not handling it perfectly. Note that I only compare 13/14 cc to 15 rax first cc. And I'm rather micro player, which makes me around lower S rank of standard players in those terms ;o | ||

Ive seen some of youre streams, you where definatly having issues with battles against protoss.. zerg you seemed to handle better. isnt S rank for those who win money on playing sc? | ||
