This works SO well vs Terrans... that are 3-5 ranks lower than me.

Thanks Chef!

This build is amazing. I hard walled myself into my main, and built a scout and dt at about the same time. (I did a templar/stargate at the same time.)
My opponent dt rushed me with like 5 dts, which got stuck at my hard wall with photon cannons behind it. I sent in my one dt to his no-detection base, and was about to send in a scout as well.
He gg'd almost immediately.

This is now my standard build.

I salute you sir.

That turret on the right hand side of his wall was hilarious, must have been only 1 hex away from seeing the DT, shame you couldn't break the wall

I'm assuming that if the maphacking player is about your skll level, any build will get OWNED.

Well, if you both are at least solid D ranks.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Did this build last night, I'm a terrible D- Zerg. Got some timings wrong and didn't macro well, the terran built a bunker with tanks and mines in front of my ramp and placed turrets at his base and contain...lost the scout and dt's, but won with statis and recall...pretty cool strat. If I random and get ptrotoss I'll be doing this one from now on

The stove has never worked for me. Never.

I'll stick to tried and true in-base proxies and mass manner pylons.

for some reason, i've been playing this strat the last couple of pvts i've played. a couple of things i did differently were, letting the scv into my main so the terran player immediately thinks i'm a noob, or starts looking for proxies, and getting dragoons instead of zealots.

with the scv, i think its important to let them in so that the terran doesn't start an ebay too early, so turrets will still be absent when your scout gets there. hopefully you get a couple of SCV kills, and terran panics and throws up a bunch of unneeded turrets. dragoon is just a personal choice, although i think its better for chasing down SCV scouts (the one in your base and others that he might send out).

couple of questions. whats the best time to start goon range, and when do you get your robotics? with this build i seem to always have an excess of minerals. do i take a third base with that, or add lots of gateways and zealots. uploaded a few of my games. in 2 of them, terran moves out and tries to contain me for some reason, despite me having DT tech, and them either having no scanner, or only 1 scanner with energy that i can easily deplete by running DTs in at separate intervals.

This is not a macro build. If you're playing it like a macro build, you are not doing it right. The excess minerals are GOOD. You use it to build 5000 more cannons.

Tried stove again but nowadays terran always FD and get vult mines as early detection. The guide didn't shed light on 2 most important parts:

how to survive early terran aggression
and, how to use the dts to cause damage

In my game, I ended up defending with the dt (and barely) when t came with 2 tanks 4 vults (this t did a later expo than usual), when I have 2 dt 2 goons without range and natural nexus building (which I had to cancel). Then I had to devote much of my next 2 mins build cannons to fend off vult harass whilst my goon range/robo is getting built. My dt has no realistic chance of moving out to delay expo/do damage given the path was fully mined. The scout with about 5 kills did delay expansion by about 30 sec but that's about it.

T then had me hard contained with turrets when I tried to move out with obs just came out. By that stage I wasn't able to gain a good position because he's virtually on top of my natural. Eco wise I was slightly ahead but due to bad attacking position, wasn't able to break the contain and lost.

the idea is the build is designed to confuse T opponents. when your scout gets to T's main, hopefully he'll start wondering what the fuck is going on, and keep his units/marines in his main to defend against your scout, buying time for your DTs to come out to defend vs the early attack.

In my game, I built stargate after first goon and then added the citadel. Afterwards I also prioritized scout over the archive, however scout takes so bloody long to build (pretty much archive done and scout isn't done yet) by the time my scout flew to t's base, t is already out attacking (and that's a fairly big force for what I have).

I sent another probe just before scout's out and saw t only had 2 marines on ramp so I thought seige expand. Thus I took my natural in response whilst on 2 goons and 2 dts building. My scout however enroute saw vult laying mines at front of t natural which rules out dt walking in. Once the vults/tanks arrive, I don't have anything to engage with. I was lucky in that T tried to mine my ramp and ended up taking down 2 vults with the attempt for the loss of 1 goon. However goon is useless other than mine clearance and ramp blocking, but my prioty is to retake my nat which I don't have any suitable units. I was able to hold due to luck as much as anything give t already mined up my nat and dt chopped 2 mines.
