"A Drone is the strongest worker, meaning that a Drone can win in a fight verses the other races' workers even if the other worker attacks first."
explanation?

If this happens a lot to you in TvZ, get your supply depot beside your gas so the drones are tunneled. That way you can push them into a small corner and hit them from both sides. This of course sucks if he comes in with roaches or zerglings and doesn't cheese like that. If he attacks with 7 drones then you've won the games hands down because he can't mine anything else. Worker rushing sometimes is a legitimate strategy if you can stop your opponent from mining while you continue to macro. My friend is stuck in the bronze league because all he does is worker rush but wins half his games. | ||

Its certainly not a non issue for the op or anyone else that's had to face this rush that's for sure  i know exactly where he's coming from as i've also been rushed liked this several times and lost to it up until recently as much as it pains me to say so lolI am amazed the amount of people here who have responded with totally useless information such as "build a supply depot and wall off". This rush happens way before that point. Why so many people respond to a thread before reading it is beyond me.??? I think that danl9rm advice is probably the best strat to handle the rush ...the key is to attack move behind the drones rather than right clicking. i can confirm that it works. As others have said pull back any scv's that are low on hp and keep your fingers crossed. Don't be fooled just one or two slips can easily cost you the game on this rush | ||

Drones also have a better attack animation and is more effective attacking while on the move, however you DO have 2 more SCVs and more minerals, so uh, there's no reason you should be losing. | ||

Set your SCV's to auto-repair. Then put some in the command center. They will repair INSIDE the command center (assuming you have minerals, of course), and will be safe from attack. Pop them out when they're at full health and continue defending your base. This also works in medivacs (can repair other units) and PF's later in the game, BTW. | ||

Remember, drones can heal. So if the T doesn't repair and just a-moves, the zerg will most likely win, because although drones have 40 hp and scvs 45, each drone will definitely heal at least 1 hp, making them like a 41 hp drone, which is the same as a 45 hp unit against an scv. With the addition of pulling back drones to have them heal to 46 and count as 50... you can win even if he has 1-2 more scvs. So yeah it's all about micro .Also a nice trick to micro for the T is to also stay close in the CC, ideally surround the drones of course (in the mineral line) this way you can easily pull SCVs into the CC instead of having to run them back (and potentially get stuck by another unit and die)/ | ||

http://www.mediafire.com/?zz19441rhaa8eb1 CellaWerra makes 10 drones, then double extractor tricks for 12 and rushes AhhBoxxah. I'm assuming all you people saying its the easiest thing in the world to hold off are all better than AhhBoxxah, on account of him losing it. :/ | ||

A-move ur scvs and u win. mentioned... I think 5 times at least no you WONT win if you just "a move" Yes it is pretty easy to hold - but not with a move You have to repair your scv and have nearly the same micro as he has ( a surround would be great too) | ||

Clearly no1 competent at micro'ing has done this to you. Your basing it off your experience of wat happens when you yourself do it, with sup-par micro and gets owned. Drones are pretty even with scv's but with the bonus of hp regen. Good micro WILL kill all a-moving scv's. Also, don't feel bad OP, pretty sure the opponent is probably DIAMOND portrait farming in the lower leagues. It DOES take some significant micro to beat a higher worker count. | ||
