EPTAlso how is it unscoutable? You scout no gas -> scouted. You scout the CC not making an SCV -> scouted. He also can't afford to build a marine and an orbital at the same time as the first barracks finishes if he's going for this unless he delays his depot, so if you see that -> scouted / supply blocked for a while.

Artosis mentions terrans always scan when doing this build. He see's you just wasted 7 larva that coudl've been mining drones, expands, pulls ahead, and what're you left with? Early warren and crwaler with no use? because the early warren doesn't stop other forms of harass and Roaches are completely useless except against this specific early marine push. Also, once you make those 7 larva worth of units that could be mining drones you nothing for the rest of the game and don't scout his expansion or anything else productive, instead you wait for the push to come for eternity. Also, spine crawlers have 0 use against anything else in the game, in fact they despawn after 15 seconds of idleness so you have to time their construction perfectly. If you scout anything at all which might indicate early pressure you would be placing spine crawlers down to help defend, would you not? | ||

It is beatable, but it is extremely hard to scout correctly. marines catch drones very fast, and a handful of marines at the front make it very hard to see if this is infact what he is doing. | ||

 I dont know why but its always terrans that come up with these, how would blizzard have to tweak the race to prevent things like this? If more come you'd have to be psychic to play vs a terran since they can deny scouting so easily. Was it like this in BW? I didnt play it all that much so havent got a clue really.And the best way to get it "fixed" btw is to spread it, so that people abuse it and break the TvZ matchup, proning Blizzard to swift action. Hence Artosis is letting people know about it. | ||

Do the supply numbers REALLY matter? the time of an attack in varying circumstances, as well as transitions (lololo transitioning out of "unbeatable strategy") and numbers of supporting scv etc. make significant differences. The foxer style 12/14 all-in can be described by simply saying "2 barracks, cuts one SCV, no gas", but this is apparently very different. | ||

Meh this kind of a timing makes no sense. If it's the second scan you add 100 more seconds to this, and then the earliest attack is going to include approximately 7 marines and 8-12 SCVs. Okay, sounds better. So we can conclude that the earliest actual attack timing is 200 seconds from when the first depot finishes. That'll be around 4:30+ minutes of gametime, and you'll have roaches out. | ||

Hence Artosis is letting people know about it. Come on! Are we going to reverse to the pre patch 1.1.2 mentality? Almost all the unscoutable openings were figured out eventually. Lets not call for a nerf when we don't even know the details. | ||

ok let me get this straight. it's a build that does: - fast 2 rax (keep building marines) - skips one SCV - goes for an OC + scans the opponent - if the player sees you droning up, they'd attack at that point - if not (sees crawlers or zerglings/speedlings or banelings or roachs) they'll expand question though, when they attack, do they also send some scv's, do they also do bunker pressure, or is the amount or marines make it unnecessary to build bunkers/etc? | ||
