Note: my A is closer to the middle of the mineral line.B vs P/Z A vs T i never use C, just seems not a good placement at all. edit: on some maps it might change between a and b :> It's a trade-off between protecting workers / base composition, and protecting the SP itself. My own initial plan for strategy also plays some role in this choice. If I'm going heavy lings in the first stages of the game, then protect the SP / expose workers; if lings won't be very important for me, then protect workers / expose SP. This philosophy kinda fits with the production pattern, because going higher tech also generally needs more workers, while lings could survive the loss of some workers in tough times. Meanwhile, if anyone reasons this way too, then scouting A kinda gives info that he might be going more lings-heavy early on; and scouting B could be seen as higher probability for him to go teching. | ||

A is only good for stopping helions, but generally i prefer to do a queen/crawler block at the bottom of my ramp or just have speedlings on creep to deal with it. A is also very prone to air harassment, quite a few maps A will be near a cliff that makes it almost impossible to defend against banshees and void rays even if you have some aa out. | ||

Wow that really is useful, scouting and to see where he places his SP might actually do tell what hes going for in a ZvZ | ||
