Oh god this is back up. I used to use this strat a few times, but the Royal Stove is way more epic. There should be a three-part video somewhere on youtube of a guy using the Royal Stove in PvT.

Invisible tanks ftw

If you're playing as Terran and you suspect the Stove, just build a faster academy and get a medic to heal your 3-4 marines that you most likely already have. Then a quicker scanner can be built if you decide to attack while dt's are in the works.

There's no need to freak out spamming turrets everywhere, and the rines/medic can allow you to be more aggressive.

But what if he gets TWO SCOUTS?!?! Then I'll be completely locked up in my base! 2 Scouts can easily destroy my tiny marines!

Is this build still viable option since flash turret placement has taken place? :O

Bisu used scouts to counter goliaths once as well I remember

I have no experience of BW whatsoever, but reading this guide was great fun! If Chef is still around could there be possible HotS guides coming?

This build is legit.

Ensnare deals with it.

The best counter to The Stove is The Stove. This is why every competent Protoss knows this build

Try dt-first stove.
It gives scout-first stove troubles.
Believe me, I've tried.

I remember when I used to play on Fastest Possible Map (I know, I know, I'm a money map n00b, lol), this guy once floated an ebay over my minerals really early on so that I couldn't send any of my workers to mine

I miss the flying ebay...

I submit that the Stove still works in the modern era, and against a better player. Just so long as they don't know about the build (so I suppose bumping this thread is counter productive.)

On the docket: Evidence A

Mind you it IS modified based on a Nightmarjaroo's replay. But I liked it because it relies on your opponent scouting you and seeing everything is normal, rather than blocking and being super suspicious early game. It delays tech a little, but gives me a small strike force.

And of course Confidence is key.

(Sorry Qikz, this is a brag post of sorts, but if it is any consolation, I did it because I didn't want to face your drop play.)
