frequently I have met someone who treats pylons like they're supply depots. the more pylons, the more fortified your gates and cannons are, and the bigger the army in turn. | ||

1. Contain me and have blatant map control with a sheer amount of units denying my expansions while he expands himself and starve me to death. Also denying my pushes with zealot bombs, storms and stasis. 2. Go for a fast 2 stargate arbiter recall build and recall the hell out of my expansions/main in case I get some expansions going. 3. Carriers if I succeed in enmassing a large quantity of units and he's not able to break through. | ||

seriously, if he's not attacking, be afraid. | ||

Yeah, because you never get another pylon for the whole rest of the game - Obviously you just move the timing back after the pair of goons, you're just cutting 2 probes for faster vulture defense in a build that hinges on defending the first attack. | ||

If I were you I would perfect this build and perfect using rally points for your nexus'. Always try to get the quick third once his rush fails or you see he's going for the expo. You just need to defend your main from drops if he happens to drop, which is always a possibility. | ||

When I play TvP vs 14nexus, I go with 2fac vults + bunker rush and try to kill his exp or 1base dropship play depending on the map, or then expand before add-on/unit myself. all my builds sucks tho. dunno how I even win any games. | ||

So let's say that I manage to take a third when he gets his natural then I manage to contain him so that he can't get anything out. Let's say I go for arbiters (I never win with carriers for some reason) so that would take some time to kick in. What if he decides to slow push out of his natural? I know I should zealot bomb and continue to harass but what if it just won't work? Should I give him space and try to lose minimal units then flank him outside where there's more space to maneuver my units? Because that's my latest problem now, yes I contain him and deny his sneaky third, but the thing is he manages to push out before I get arbiter tech out to do the finishing recalls. | ||
