I meant that your old BO that you released to everyone earlier that was the basic counter to pool->queen->lings pwnage that people called imbalanced was the very first BO. Who cares if it dies to sunkens? Stay at the choke then and tech up while denying expansions(set up a contain in laymans terms). | ||

June 2008! When nobody knew wtf a Marauder is good for. Just played 10 hours straight, only used the build twice. Won one by the book but lost the other against a sentry counter attack after my rush was deflected. Stalker / sentry is no fun as Terran, they crack even bunkers so easily. Rest of the games were as Zerg which I really love now. | ||

10 supply 12 rax 14 depot 15 cc upgrade rine take both gas pump rine ~4-5 rine call mule 2 rax at 300 pump more rines and scvs two marauder addons and a reactor when both rax finish it's not exact and it probably comes a little slower but sets you up nicely for the mid game i think. the mule is really, really sick. i like it. | ||

Some bronze copied what louder did on his stream which is to get a quick sentry and a quick colossus, and move out with ~8 zealots ~4 stalkers... even though you get the expo up no problem, even with a bunker and massing MM you just DIE to this... any suggestions? Someone in another thread said it might help to get a few reapers first to pick off the sentry, and alternately not to expand before you have tanks... | ||

Perhaps this build is still viable and deserves a second look, even with in patch 1.1? | ||

NaDa used this build the video found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=154911 during the IEM, I believe. Perhaps this build is still viable and deserves a second look, even with in patch 1.1? I wasn't aware that is was no longer viable. Artosis points the Zatic build whenever it comes up, like in the GSL hes pointed it out twice thus far. | ||

You need two cycles of Marines to catch up with the reactor, so if you're going to push at 3 Marauders you might as well keep pumping marines from Rax#2, and make the reactor only while you push? 1st rax pumping marauders + researching Conc Shells. 2nd rax pumping marines until first push, then Reactor, then continue building more marines. That sounds like something that could catch a 4gater off-guard. | ||

That sounds like something that could catch a 4gater off-guard. Because until like patch 3 in the beta the reactor used to build as fast as the tech lab (and I think was cheaper too? Not sure though). I tried both versions but back then the reactor was really worth it and got marines out really fast. Also note you didn't have to research concussive shells. Also when I originally used this there was no orbital command and no chrono boost. To everyone: The "zatic build" is more like a running gag now, it's neither an actual build nor does it work as described in the OP. Artosis jokingly refers to everything involving early MM pressure into CC as the "zatic build" which lets the name live on, but how it's played today has little to do with what is described in the OP. | ||
