(so u have no time to scan) Not sure why this guy still has posting abilities but we can see his stunning skill in this thread everything is imba and therefore arguing with him further is futile. Regarding the 2 cloak-banshee opening I have one question. Why would you not start your first banshee then get cloak research going so that he can build energy while it researches? I don't see the timing window being effected this way and you have far more cloak time. It would effect your 2nd banshee a bit more but again it seems a safer way to go about it. Offensively I don't like this because it assumes no scouting/no correct response from your opponent. However the ability to poke in and do damage if he didn't see it coming is nice, and the fall back to using them defensively for your expansion is pretty cool. I will try this out with a practice partner later and see how it goes. The 7-8 minute mauarader push vs my expansion build has run into issues for me especially as he tends to just elevator them to the main if the expansion is bunkered. Maybe this will help  | ||

Usually doesn't work in normal TvT as they WILL burn a scan, see the fact with 1 rax opening and just build a starport with a reactor to outproduce you. Good build against a T that is greedy and doesn't want to waste a scan. | ||

They can still gather intel/harass/force your enemy to play defensive or counter (and go overboard on counter) while you switch tech, say tank/thor/rines. Its often a minimal cost if you go single starport, because you will want raven, medivacs or vikings later on. | ||
