Going for scouts gets you an early stargate you aren't going to use, weak expensive units, and poor harassment opportunity. You can transition much better into a reaver drop after a contain break than scout harass. Keep in mind the economic efficiency of whatever you do, rather than what is the "best counter" for the time being. Everything should fit into your long term plan and scouts simply won't. I know this thread is mostly sarcasm but some players might actually think this is good advice and try to incorporate scouts as a push breaking solution. | ||

see scouts aren't INEFFICIENT, they're UNDERUSED. they work, whether it's minesweeping, vessel hunting, or worker harass and the ability to do the last 2 is why i use scouts instead of zealbombs | ||

I'm gonna cry when I start seeing replays of people wasting all these resources on scouts and then gettting stomped by a terran. | ||

the only way i see that this could work is if you get scouts EXTREMELY early in the game. if you get them right when they start making turrets in their contain, it'll be too late. even when i zealot bomb, the turrets are already up and bombing my poor shuttle. and if you get scouts extremely early, wont that completely screw up your macro? | ||

not unless he has a second line or some goliaths your shuttle should have enough hp to get into his base and unload | ||
