I loved one of the replays from that korean pack where Protoss had 6 zealots with two more warping and pulled probes, but still lost. As for Desert Oasis, I will try to do the double-cheese: fly to yellow minerals and start from there, then go all-in. This should be even better because you save the traveling time from the starting position to the middle of the map. | ||

I faced this build before, it's pretty dam powerful. Since in sc2 scvs are a lot easier to keep alive (they move inside big buildings they are creating) They should seriously nerf their health down to 50 hp or something and have marine health down to 40 with 15 for the upgrade. Terran early game pushes in pvt are very powerful atm. I agree with louder in the zealot hp nerf should have never happened and stalkers are useless pieces of crap. | ||

I think that correct execution is to attack with 10 marines and about 16 SCVs while rallying more marines. I will play this on all maps against all races to see how far into Platinum i can get. Yesterday I went about 10-2 with this only losing to Zergs on Scrap Station and Desert Oasis, both times they noticed the allin and built Spine Crawlers.

I played He didn't send all his SCVs though, and I think the cheese is weaker if you do the lift off. Better to transition into a slightly later but bigger push off it if you 'waste' time lifting like that, as the extra mineral rate won't help much without you spending some time there first. e: I think it was Axslav, not Nadagast, sorry | ||

I'm pretty sure that a Goon or two + Probes in SC1 can't hold off 6-8 Rines + SCVs. I'm just putting this out there because people apparently love comparing SC2 to SC1, so why not find the equivalent in SC1, and show that it's also pretty hard to stop it in SC1 too (even harder considering goons don't outrange marines), so that'll hopefully stop this silly discussion over a build that, although it exists, will certainly never become the standard. it's not just that Terran can kill a fast core toss but the op is saying that Koreans are asserting all builds except forge first die. This must include 2gate zeal as that should be the first thin they turn to vs allin. So the equivalent in sc1 is 2rax allin rapes even 10/12 gate zeal. Sry for any typos stupid phone keyboard blows | ||

This way they won't know if you went forge first or not, so the expo is no longer safe, and the all-in might die to forge-first. That said, they could probably just play standard and screw you over due to your economic disadvantage of pulling probes to stop scout. They might also counter your build order choice by chance. Maybe this will bel ike | ||
