Not to mention that I should be able to scout no gas. If I scout no gas, there's NO way that I'm not going to pressure. It's all too easy. You need a bunker. Yes but while you're wailing away at my wall I have the time to get a bunker up to defend, and then im fine. All i need is 2 SCV's repairing and 1 building a bunker. You won't get through the wall in time to kill the bunker. I agree that it's bad to do against protoss, but saying that the player would die to the zealot-stalker pressure is silly. | ||

It's going to be obvious what you're doing. You're either going to be fast expanding or all-inning. Pretty to easy to figure out which if I keep scouting. | ||

I dont know what kind of zealot stalker pressure you've encountered before, but it's certainly not something high level enough that you would think you could get away with this. | ||

In the recent Jaedong Vs Flash, the zerg 4 pooled and got a whole bunch of scvs, equaling out the really aggressive build. I am not trying to compare anything here, just proving a point that any "all in" build can be recovered from if you do a ton of damage and know exactly when to stop and start making up for the things you cut (scvs/econ/tech). that still means the build has to do damage to be successful and that is an all in, essentially you are flipping a coin and hoping to do damage. But i do agree that this build has a really high % of success to do damage. | ||

I'm glad I don't run into it in 1v1s, but now that TLO did it, my luck may run out. you can macro 7 raxes, in fact. and 6rax isn't all in, because if you don't put addons, as you saturate, you will eventually have enough to expand. 7rax is closer to all-in, but even then, you can simply stop making marines while you attack, then expand and add some reactors/tech labs. 1rax with an addon is about equal to 2 naked rax in terms of production capacity (if you make marauders or marine + upgrades), but sticking to that general rule will help. | ||

It's pretty strong overall, in my opinion, and certainly easy to carry out! | ||

 I call myself TLO whenever I do this (no, that's not a diss, I just like doing the build) | ||

I can only stop it by stopping probe production at 20, drop a total of 3gates, and move to the middle of the map with my 2stalkers to start kiting the marines already, I actually think its the same anti 4gate 3stalker build. If you dont kite them that soon I mostly just lose, cause they'll take out pylons/building so fast | ||

This will make your opponent less suspicious of something fishy going on, and you can use the 100 gas to make 2 reactors instead of 2 barracks (saving you in total 125 minerals + barrack build time - gas building time - gas mining time). This delays the push drasticly, there's obviously a reason for why you don't get reactors for this push, i've tried this push a bit, and i like to just fake a gas, it's worth it so you can catch your opponent off guard. Really helps. | ||
