I said it's rare to find a terran opening with marauders, thus it's easy to inflict damage...because terrans will rarely have marauders. | ||

If you want a build that is both extremely economical and flexible, try the 11Pool 18Hatch being perfected on my thread. It is especially good for players who fear early aggression like 4gates, 6pools, or 2rax marines. Here is a replay of it in action. ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-170545.jpg) This felt like the easiest 4gate I have ever held off because I had so many units out quickly. At first I assumed my opponent was making a mistake, or was possibly going 3gate-expand, but the replay shows he did fairly well in keeping his resources low and drone count high. After holding off two attacks I prepare for a mid-game timing attack before his late expansion can reap dividends. | ||

I dont mean to belittle your opening (i love overpool) but his 4gate rush was faily poorly composed and microd. You mentioned how he kept his money down, but he basically did that because he only had 18guy mining 8 patches while he stockpiled gas. Eventually he came at you with SEVEN sentrys and a handful of stalkers, yet he threw down a grand total of zero forcefields. Be careful, should the 4gate rusher acutally have decent army composition that includes zealots to tear lings to pieces. Your mechanics looked quite solid tho. | ||

Sure 5RR and 7RR can work, but only if your opponent is bad or makes micro mistakes. | ||
