Stupid question. In tvp. Is it a good idea to have a few turrets in your base for the sole purpose of taking out detectors? Ive noticed that 90 percent of the games i lost vs protoss were because of early scouts hanging around my base before i could get a raven out and my early pushes get owned. Im not sure if the cost of building them are worth it but at the same time it could prevent hard counters early game. Lastly. Any advice on how to counter a very early colossus blink stalker push? Ive lost games like that due to no air fire and fe preventions thanks from a humble peasant lol | ||

As for the blink stalkers collasai get marauder heavy and 2-3 vikings. They can handle it pretty well. | ||

What????? How do your hellions counter blings? How does the thor suck up tha bling damage? You can't mean the Z 1-a moved the blings on your army!? | ||

The only reason I haven't is that I am not playing on my computer, mine is not doing so well; missing a few parts but the important one is only 50$. Internet card or something I am unsure of the name. However in order to do tournaments I need the money to fix my computer so I have decided to be a freelancer in my meantime to pay for the computer. When the contracts expire I go for mass tournaments and try to get to the pro level. However I do enjoy the RH community and would love to participate in more fun with you all. As for the strategy, it's a rush type strategy to prevent cheese; into early fast econ and fast aggression. You may see it more later tonight on the stream. (may) I didnt exactly meant or you to join RH, would just love to see you around sometime for our other Tournaments where we get about 40-50 people in. Love your style of play, and I like that BO to prevent cheese. | ||

Usually no; however a thor is also a giant block. The marines can get behind the actual army reducing the chance that banelings reach them. Delaying anything for slightly longer on the enemies attack is always a plus. | ||

Do you tech? if so to what? thors? tanks? air? Thanks. If he is going heavy banelings i'd get a few more marauders until I have tanks out, then more marines. marauders can soak up more damage and be a front until tanks blast them out of the ground. I would recommend getting a thor or 2 because banelings are usually followed by muta's. if they aren't coming already. | ||

What do you think about the idea that Terran dominates the rankings due to the Terran campaign? No, just.... no. No no no no no. Terrans dont dominate the rankings. They are more prevalent in diamond because it is very easy to go 1-1-1 into marine marauder tank off 1 base and that strat reliably beats players in plat and below. | ||

I picked terran because I played sc1 terran for 10 years. I'm actually a random player. I was told #4 random player in the world. | ||

- the one against zerg (I think metalopolis) where you pulled off a great hellion drop but still ended up losing (tons of marines killed by banelings at the xel naga tower) - the one against protoss on steppes of war where he hid a proxy stargate and went 3gate voidray push, charging the rays on the rocks before the fight at your ramp I'd really like to study those build orders | ||

If I scout a T player going reactor rax into 2 ports ill immediately start making templars, they wont have a big enough force to push before im done if I do it right. Esp after the tank nerf. | ||
