last put 5 rax up before he even put up his academy. the push was faster than usual and if jd went for defilers he wouldnt have consume before his 3 o clock went down. same reason why he didnt go for lurkers, last could just slow push with vessel irradiate knowing defilers werent going to come out anyway. this is why 1-1-1 is preferred amongst pros over 1 rax fe. the variations you can apply to the build and the mind games are so good for terran | ||

I think Zerg just needs to forget about attacking when Terrans do 1-1-1 and just drone like mad and get your third up. I think this is true. Zergs are really fixated on trying to beat 1-1-1 early on. Almost like when muta harass is going well, everyone always wants to win with guardians when really they should just get defilers and win lol. | ||

I'm pretty sure if you rush to defiler you can get dark swarm out just in time. If you manage to get ultra armour I don't see why you won't have time for dark swarm. | ||

There definitely is some reason if multiple people (SK, JD, Killer) do it. I think it's very naive to think that it's not good. The main focus of the 1-1-1 midgame is mass vessels . Vessels on high numbers destroy lurker/defiler, but are not so good against ultras (hard to irradiate before fight, irradiate during fight doesn't help Terran with all the splash damage dealt to marines) | ||

It must be so stressful and frustrating for Toss or Zerg to play against a top Terran who knows how to abuse their bag of builds and play mind games. When was the last time a top Terran got 4-0ed or 3-0ed? Almost never. Whilst it's common for a top Terran to absolutely rekt a top Zerg and Toss. I feel that the game design is such that Terran's flexibility gives them a slight psychological edge over the other races. | ||

I think the solution is standard 3 hatch --> get 2-3 hydras --> Spire into 4 scourge --> scout with the 4 scourge and produce mutas accordingly. At the same time get a fast third and tech to hive + lurker/defiler. Scouting with scourge would be the key as they are fast and even if you lose them it doesn't set you back much. | ||

Sure, you basically have 4 rines, a wraith and a tank for 5 minutes straight, but SCV's are tanky as fuck and are good meat shields (game 3). Maybe Z should try to have a bigger drone count? Have more mining bases? Tech quicker themselves (f.e. 2 base 2 hatch hive?) | ||

Flash is good, as is Last, but they use Terran so basicly OP player on top of OP race = unbeatable. User was warned for this post. | ||
