If you're zerg, these kind of pushes can just be held with mass speedling, then follow up with mutalisks should just kill him. If you're terran I can't help you. | ||

Do you put your pylon near the front of your ramp given the 1/3 chance of random rolling Zerg, or do you build it near your nexus as is the standard vs. P and T (for me at least!) I've always been a little confused about this, I know it's a pretty small thing but I'd like to know what you guys think! Thanks.  | ||

Also Random players seem to have a higher incidence rate of cheesing me on ladder, so having a pylon by the ramp is nice to make a full wall-off if things get a little choppy out there. | ||

Ideally, dont be in this situation. That being said, you want to use terrain to minimize their ability to kite your zealots. The basic scenario involves stalker shooting marauder as marauder kites your zealot. Using FFs in chokes helps a lot because it doesnt allow them to kite you and a zealot up close chews up marauders. If its an early double tech lab kind of push, pull 4 or so probes, and have them attack the marauders from behind to just block them in so your zealots can get some hits if you dont have sentries. | ||

I've always been a little confused about this, I know it's a pretty small thing but I'd like to know what you guys think! Thanks. Some protoss players (e.g. white-ra) don't wall initially versus zerg. You can build your pylon/gateway in such a way that your first zeal can defend vs. early pool zergling rushes in case they are Z but still not have vulernable buildings there vs. T/P. You make a wall later on with gateways #2 and 3, typically. On the other hand you can put your pylon down such that you have the option of walling, but then put your gateway right next to the pylon (back from the ramp) if you do scout P/T. I've seen some walls vs. P where the plan is to use it to help hold off any potential 4gate. Whether this is good or bad depends on your build (more ranged units = better? more zeal = worse? i think?) and theirs (maybe some stalker-heavy pokes will let the opponent pick off your gateways with a high stalker count), but it's kind of weird. IMO I say don't wall, but do put your buildings and scout early enough so that you can defend potential early pool from Z, mostly because I think it's pretty bad to have buildings close to the ramp vs. T/P | ||

It servers the purpose of verifying is anyone is login to your account from another location. Also maybe one could have more than one SC2 account associated with his B.net account? | ||

In most modern ZvP, both the spire and the hydralisk den is not a necessarily as roach/bane is the most successful. Though if you like going mutalisks, then usually you can go strait for the spire after seeing a forge expansion. If you scouted anything other than a forge first then going for mutas is going to be risky because if your opponent invests in a gateway push while your spire is building you will usually just die. If corruptors are the intention of the spire, then throw it down as soon as you scout a stargate or robotics bay, and be sure to go for hive soon after to have an aggressive bounce back with brood lords. As for hydralisks, putting a den down after scouting a stargate opener can be good for defense but you will need to research drop after holding it off to get any aggressive use out of hydras. I'm just not a fan of hydras in general because they're both fragile and slow, which is a great combination to generate dumb losses. | ||

Also, PvT. If I scout out double gas and a rax should I immediately focus on some sort of banshee harass or mech play? If so, Immortals? | ||

Also, PvT. If I scout out double gas and a rax should I immediately focus on some sort of banshee harass or mech play? If so, Immortals? DPS=damage per second, the overall damage output of a unit. And yes, double gas pretty much guarantees tech, so getting a robotics is a good idea. | ||

You should always go robo. Second gas says he is not only going barracks. Thats about it. You always get the second gas when you build your factory, you need your robo to scout what his follow up is. | ||

I don't really see why you need to change that hotkey though, it's not like backspace where it's on the other side of the keyboard. | ||
