SCVs are stronger than drones Not necessarily. With even amounts of drones and scvs on a-move, the drones will usually win because they regenerate, so it takes one extra hit to kill them. However, with micro, the scvs will always win because of auto-repair. | ||

No one has touched on this topic yet and i'd like to clarify a few things. The reason why ZERG is the race to attack is because of their larva ability. You've probably heard about the famous Pennoyer, the random bronze player who 6 worker rushed every single game. The obvious problem with a worker rush is that by the time you are at your opponents base, they will severely out number your workers. Well with zerg, there is something called the 12 worker rush that narrows the worker differential. Think of the following BO: 10/10 extractor 9/10 drone 10/10 extractor 9/10 drone 10/10 cancel 11/10 cancel Basically a double extractor trick will allow a zerg player to make a ridiculous amount of drones.. The final attack will result in 12 drones to 14-15 workers instead of 6 drones to 9-10 workers. Basically the worker ratio is cut down from 2:3 to 4:5. With good micro, and taking in consideration that its the lower leagues, any non-zerg race would have trouble defending this rush, even on steppes. | ||

I try to avoid that close micro battle... Maybe thats a way to buy time and to get an even safer win. You can maybe get that one marine aout that will help so much or you can cancel the rax to get money for more scvs while running away from his drones... In theory it should work but i havent had someone to try it out. Only thing that has to be mentioned is that you will always suffer a few hits while running away from him because he can cut corners to reach your scvs I definitely give that a try... It's pretty awkward losing to that and pretty annoying | ||
