Hi Folks!

Does any one of you know a map tactic tool for starcraft 2?

I want to analyse with my 2vs2 Partner all the maps and figure out which positions we can use more efficiently or where we should be more careful of.

So i hope to find such a tool like its used in games like counterstrike as well.

Please give me a possitvie answer dudes

thanks

It's the only tool that I'm aware of.

1) You will be about even on economy at the very beginning, but if the zerg just plays greedy and drones up afterwards, you will be very behind in economy entering the mid game.

2) The "standard" 3 gate expo does not pressure the zerg before your expansion goes down, since you only get 1 zealot and the rest sentries. The 1 zealot/1 stalker is a variant which can be used to pressure the zerg before he gets speedlings. It's not common because again, the "standard" gate expand build by protoss focuses on sentries earlier (to build up energy), and that stalker doesn't usually put that much pressure and is a waste. Also it's next to completely useless if the zerg goes speedling expand.

Sounds like you need to learn about some basic build orders. Check out the recommended threads post in the strategy forums.

Thanks Anihc, very clear explanation

Follow up question then, if you say the 3g sentry expand is behind if zerg plays greedy, then how do you pressure to stay even going into mid-game if all I have is 1zealot/sentries? Or is that just a weakness in this build?

If it is a weakness in the build, what is a alternate way to do the 3g sentry expand but pressure a bit so that you come out even with zerg mid-game?

Thanks again

repost

Where can I find a comprehensive 14g/14p 21 hatch ZvZ guide or replay pack? I want to know the reactions to everything, how to get roaches and how to defend expansions from blings and what tech choices to make based on my opponent.

It's a weakness to the build. You can try to pressure the zerg and move out onto the map when you have like 8-10 sentries and a few reinforcing stalkers, but even that is risky if the zerg happened to get units (especially mass zerglings) instead of droning up greedily.

A better way to pressure the zerg in the mid game is to go for stargate or dt tech. That's starting to stray pretty far from a standard 3 gate expo though, since usually it's 1 gate - tech building/expand - 2 more gates. Watch some of MC's games, he does this a lot.

Can someone recommend good zvt cheese builds as Z when spawning close positions? It doesn't even have to be that good, as long as it has like a 30% chance of winning, that's probably a lot higher than my current win% vs T close spawn.

Can't 6pool cuz I won't scout spawn positions in time.

A Roach rush or Baneling bust would be my guess. The precise builds for it are on Liquipedia. You may want to pretend you're going to take your natural to not alert the Terran too much of the impending all-in.

Three per gas, two on close mineral patches, three on far mineral patches for every race.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Zealots tank marauders while stalkers pick them off. FF them so they cant go up ramp if you're not prepared, which buys you time to warp in more units. Otherwise, FF the army in half so you can kill them when there's less of them.
