SuperJongMan, or any other Korean speakers for that matter.

I read the entire topic, and there were very important discussions in the replies; I really am not in the mood for translating right now, but some of the replies are great comments.

Only thing I would point out is that on python, in ZvP, the Z might send ov to the closest main by land for a 9pool build without a scout; to go 12-4 nex because you scout the closer main and checked for ov arrival can net you a loss.

This is such great stuff, this is exactly what Artosis was talking about when he said Koreans approach strategy different from foreigners. I really feel like a few of these build guides for each matchup would be a really incredible boost to mid-level play in the foreigner community. Here's hoping for more awesome translation work!

There was also a discussion about whether to go gas before or after gate; this depends on the situation, as gate is a very important in simcities. Also, the discussion about scouting with 2 probes, and going 2 gate after canceling forge is very informative.

Btw if you guys didn't know, 4 gate speed zeal skipping stargate will rip a 4hatch before pool build.

"make a fighting force that is large enough to delay your expo but too small to do any serious damage to the protoss, and also leaves you impotent vs tech and shuttle builds. continue as normal from there, if you somehow manage to not die"

The Hungry Build
+ Show Spoiler +

Hungry Build - 7.5 Pylon, 10 forge, 13 Photonx2 - 15 Nexus+Gate, 16 Pylon, 17 Gas - Core.
Regular Build -7.5 Pylon, 10 forge, 13 Photonx2 - 15 Pylon - 18 Nexus/Gate - 19 Gas - Core.

Corsair Timing -
Hungry 4:20
Regular 4:55

Minerals mined by 5 minutes

Hungry - 1862 (31 Probes+312)
Regular - 2118 (32 Probes+518)

- Tech is 35 seconds faster, but about 250 minerals poorer.
- Due to the faster Nexus, there is not a big difference in probe count.
So really, it comes down to - Do you want to add more gateways or have a faster sair.
- So if the Zerg goes 9 pool speed up, a faster tech hungry build seems beneficial.


I wanted to know these details for soo long!
