It doesn't sound that hard to stop at all. Build one spine crawler and some lings. Meh.

Wow, I've never seen so many complaining zergs... 2 rax marine pressure isn't unstoppable at all. You don't even need more than a single spine crawler. I have to OUTRIGHT kill 10+ zerglings, a queen, a hatch, something big for this pressure to be successful. Because the counter to outright marine pressure? 2 hatch in base sling bling nonstop counter pressure.

I love them guy saying reactors need to be nerfed, when this 'build' doesn't even use gas early. Reactors are the only thing that evens the play field against WARP IN ANYWHERE ON THE MAP, or PRODUCE 6-12 UNITS AT A TIME..

The reason this is unstoppable/unscoutable is the SCVs in tow to help bolster the marine numbers.


Isn't it funny though? Every terran opening gets nerfed and zergs say to us 'Hows it feel? Learn to play'. No more 5 rax reaper. No more 3 rax reaper expo. No more reactor hellions. So we're left with the lowley marine, and studder step micro to beat zergs. Now they want marines nerfed, or something else changed, so they can 14 hat safely. Ask any zerg on ladder after they expo, they all agree (as I do too) that you HAVE to expo to have a chance to win most maps vs terran. Just do. The problem is after that expo is up, and our pressure is done and we expand, we're still behind even with double mules. We have to make 2-4 more barracks, 2 factories, 2 ports, whatever that takes time and money -- then put ADD ons on. Then, start researching upgrades and making the unit.

You? Build building. Check. Hit hotkey for hatcheries, press Z or R 12 times, spread creep, inject again.

Slings counter about every single barracks unit. When more mid - high level zergs start abusing slings more, it makes marine pressure a lot harder, as you have to wait a bit longer and push smarter with walls to your back etc. And, as a mineral only counter to a mineral only unit, it just works hand in hand.

Edit - I mean using sling flanks more until you get bling speed ---
Unbiased biased terran abuser Jeffrey. Sorry for the rage, friend!

I think that this could possibly be defended with a spine crawler and a ten pool, I play zerg but I don't know if it works, also I find that drones are really good at killing marines when they surround them, so try and get a ling drone surround in range of the spine crawler.

not really no =/
10 pool is going to set you back way too much if he do anything other than this.

Some people need to be quiet and stop complaining about imbalance, or stop complaining about others complaining about imbalance. You have no authority on the matter since you either don't play on the asian servers, you don't play zerg or terran on the asian servers, you don't play at a high enough level and you haven't played against this play on the asian servers before. I don't see how you can make an argument, or try to prove a point, when you have no idea what it is and no authority on the matter. Wait for more information instead of trying to prove that terran isn't imbalanced.

I'll just say zerg had a lot of options reduced early on in beta, so don't think you're alone terrans. Calm down and wait for when you can actually see it, because I don't think many of you can even comment on the issue without throwing general arguments out.

I'm not worried about it until it transfer over to the us servers, since I'm still having trouble dealing with mass marine. One step at a time.

If they think it's a legitimate threat, we shouldn't be so quick to doubt them. But we shouldn't blindly follow.

I agree that he's talking about probably Foxer builds against Nestea which was the game he won on Shak. In set 5 on Steppes, Nestea did a technical 1 base roach and banes play against it, held it off but Foxer transitioned to seige to win.
the farm ends here

A build order will help, and this is a more diamond level play, as myself as platinum am having trouble multi-tasking. you need critical marine split also, since stim pack won't be finished by this early push but maybe in your 3rd push

Artosis isn`t exactly one of the top zergs on korea server at all..so if some replays or build order could be provided it would help us figure out if this is infact true.

Well seems like the 3 Rax pressure, where Protoss has to go blind Robo else every other tech gets a coinflip.

lol what? This basically was a must-have on EU servers already. Watch Darkforce etc. It's easy to hold any little later bio-pushes with some banelings, comes down to micro imo.

I see Zergs are back to whining about Terran again. You guys have convinced Blizzard to nerf every other T unit, so why not the marine?

Because after all, any tactics that prevent a Zerg from nonstop droning should not be possible.


+1...
When a Terran win a single game people want Blizzard to nerf them (look at streams on TL...).
Most zerg lose to this build because they react badly and go for 14 hatch, whatever is happening...
Give zerg 2 hatch at the beginning of the game will prevent them for whining about Terran.
