When you scout your zerg opponent at 9 and he already has a spawning pool finished this most likely means i can leave the game.

i hate helion openings more than reaper openings


You don't see 5 raxes or techlabs, you see one. But you DO see Nitro Packs being researched.

I love how all these posts are assuming you don't encounter a wall-in, and you can see everything your opponent is doing. Just cause you can't see shit doesn't mean you can't figure shit out.

If you scout your terran opponent and encounter a barracks with no addon and 2+ marines, you might want to start being worried about early banshees.

Does 6 pool really give that much trouble? Either I've never played someone who was good at 6 pool or maybe that 7 scout vs Zerg is super powerful...
gl hf pls lose kthx :D

when you scout and see a fast factory with a tech lab (rather than a reactor) blocking the terrans ramp you can expect a tech swap into banshees. in this case you have to sac an overlord to be sure and play accordingly

As Zerg Vs Terran (at least from what I've seen)

If you see an early gas and a barracks but no tech lab, and your scout lives long enough that you see a factory drop down; its most likely a 111 build; opening with hellion harassment. hellion/mara push Which means (or at least for me it works; is to get mutas asap) an lots of lings/spines to defend.

If you are walled off and just three or 4 marines defending the wall its most likely a banshee harassment. Which means evolution chamber asap

Is it possible for the OP to compile the data into the original post? Would be very convenient especially now this thread is getting longer... ?
