I wonder how often this happens on B level ... I get the impression this is harder to set up in a random ladder game than it seems, he could ask a friend to play this specific scenario though..

When a protoss does this, he is showing you exactly how big a fag he is ready to be to get the win, so you should be very wary of his actions from this point. You should focus on eliminating his scouting probe first and kill his assimilator second.

After you kill the assimilator your course of action depends on what the protoss is doing, so you have to scout him. As he has chosen the road of gay already by taking the gas, you should expect more faggotry, but you have to know what kind; most often, it is some sort of power goon build with range upgrade, but it can also be something even more gay like DTs or reavers, like you said. It is not uncommon that the gas steal is a part of a proxy cheese build so after you scout his base you should look around the map (or scout with two scvs).

If you see him making ranged goons you can start an academy shortly after you build your refinery and get marine range. Build a bunker at your natural and put your marines inside. The marine range will finish faster than waiting for a tank so you will be safe from the goons if you repair the bunker if he starts attacking it. Ideally, you should wall off the choke, if you are unable/dont have enough buildings, you should just place a depo at the choke to make it more narrow to prevent him from simply running by your bunker.

If he is rushing you with zealots and everything he has you should build the bunker in your main, close to your CC, while you wait for tanks/vultures/etc.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Oh.. didn't see this:


Yeah, but getting academy and marine range is safer, imo.. and you can build your scanners quicker too.

You know a better way of getting an empty game is to kill all but one of a computers buildings and then save game after you get your minerals down to 50 and have killed all but your cc and 4 scvs. You can then save your build at different points and work it out faster.

You do have fewer minerals in your main if you do this though, although you can lift off and go to another main if the map allows it I suppose.

The best way to get an empty game is to create a game, put one computer in, hit 'OK' and then close the computer slot before the countdown ends ^^

this is true tho however sometimes when you try to split your workers a screen pops up and asks you if u want to continue the game. So that way you might never get a perfect split :O

If you want to work on a perfect split just do a custom game and whenever you mess up (or done splitting) spam f10err (turn off the tips at the start) even though its at normal speed its more about accuracy than speed that most people seem to have problems with.

Maybe he wants a perfect split when he's practicing his build, but doesn't want to wait until after the pop-up screen because then he'd have to factor in the lateness when he's keeping track of timings. Not a big deal of course, but it's not like the other alternatives have big gaping flaws.

quick queston regarding 3rd bases when doing the flash build
On maps like Python or any maps where your 3rd is a mineral only, is there any real change in how the game would play out? Also is there a specific reason why you dont do any FPVODs of 2fact builds, are they too risky and weak at higher levels of play? or have you just not gotten around to it yet

Don't know if I can ever say it enough but , thanks again for your hard work :D

Well if you go on multiplayer and close comp, then just wait for message, tap continue. If you do not have opponent on map then what? Nothing. You can start split whenever you want and you will not be behind.

iafter you do the split just press +a few times and you're at max speed, and since its single playerthere are no 'popups' aside the should be disabled tips popup

About the splitting. I can split and then press "c" to cancel the popup without fucking up my split so there is no problem
