Get an obs ASAP. Get a sgate and make one scout (you may begin flaming) and use the two to take out as many mines as you can. meanwhile get 4-5 gates and make zeals/goons with range, (speed and storm too if you have time) hit sieged tanks with scout(s). if they retreat then you push. if they dont then you finish blowing one up and then push. if t tries to make turret kill the scv. when you push use your scout too. | ||

This guy is a noob. He gets contained by T a lot, but there's a way around it. 1. Get an obs 2. Make a sgate +1 scout. Use the scout to wipe out Terran minefield 3. Get 4-5 gates and pump out zeals/goons and remember to get range *optional*speed and storm(only if you have time, depends how fast terran contains you proly) 4. Target fire the tanks with scouts to intimidate Terran into retreating. If they don't retreat, blow one up and then push. *If T tries to make a turret, kill the scv 5. If scout is still alive keep it as vessel defense | ||

what's to stop me from using the two SCVs (at least) I bring along to build things to build 2 MORE turrets? or, in similar vein, what's to stop me from just finishing the turret? I really think your minerals are better spent elsewhere. run like 4 zealots through the minefield at different angles. that can usually clear a bunch. | ||

 Work on your mechanics and your macro. Make sure you are always making a probe, and DONT fucking be late for those pylons or else you will just be throwing the game away. Just be tight with your build, and keep a zeal and a goon at your choke to prevent him scouting your plan. As your archives is warping in, warp in a second gate, and make sure you have enough resources and supply to instantly start making those 2 darkies. When you leave your choke, don't slash his SCV, and dont walk the normal scouting path, bend around it. If he hasnt started floating his CC over yet, slash down a depot, and head for those SCVs. If there is a turret around his CC and you cant possibly kill it without losing both DTs, then kill anything you can out of range. The main goal here is to delay his seige expand and forms of detection. If it is unsafe for your DTs in his base, sit at his natural and slash at anything you see. If you want to be even more aggressive, warp in a robo after your first two DTs. This way, if he has a turret at his choke, you can just drop right on his scvs. If this doesnt work, at least you have a shuttle for some zealot bombing and possible elevator when you are trying to break his choke, AND you can get obs to defuse those pesky mines and reveal his positioning at all times In the meantime, you should continue your macro. Make the decision between two and four initial DTs, but after that you need to constantly pump goons and/or expand before he does. After your expo is up, add a few gateways, and keep pumping zeals and goons. Dont forget zeal speed. AND DONT FORGET PYLONS! GL HF | ||

The role of the scout here is minesweeper, so a zealbomb would be much less cost effective | ||

If 1 scout can take out x mines, then if you can get about 10 scouts before they know what hit them you can take out x^10 mines, which is a lot of mines if the Terran is smart. I would definitely suggest more scout usage. | ||

This strategy is the PvT revolution ! OP for PvT is like Bisu for PvZ - I can see it now. See - even after u asked such specific question, to which responding requires you to understand the game in and out, he was still able to provide u with an expert-like answer. Indeed , when terran tries to counter you with + 1 worker armor - u can counter it with + 2 scout atack upgrade. | ||

We wanted to see if he could do a gas-heavy build by taking one of his four drones and getting an extractor on the spot. It worked. With 4 gas, although you have a 25% drop in minerals, you could get gas on demand and perhaps get a quicker lair; and quicker mutas. Hydra/Muta doesn't deprive you of gas... much. So I don't know if this only works on D level, and I couldn't get a replay cause my launcher is being retarded and won't work, I'll get one as soon as I can get the thing up and running with ChaosPlugin. Questions/Comments/Angry Noob Insults? | ||

I also recommend that on top of speed and +2 air weapons upgrade, you should get an additional Stargate, and then upgrade Disruption web for sairs. Then you don't even NEED dragoons and zealots anymore. Just use scouts and sairs all day. There is absolutely NO counter to this. And don't worry, the timing for this happens before the Terran gets his armory and goliaths. Or his turrets. + Show Spoiler + Sarcasm much? | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||
