Although you can typically say a good amount of sentries with a handful of stalker/zealot early to defend since when FEing you will not have much opportunity to pressure in the early game. Hmmm ok then, thanks. Was wondering if there was a good thread on how to execute the 1 Gate FE in PvZ including consideration of the most common reactions/transitions? Bsaically treat me like a person that has no idea about how to 1 gate FE  | ||

This is somewhat helpful but I prefer one with a grid layout. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Tal'darim_Altar_LE | ||

I believe he said in one of his threads that he just happen to have a bit of time to do some posting. | ||

When if ever is it optimal to bunker 2 marauders vs 4 marines while playing defensively? | ||

When if ever is it optimal to bunker 2 marauders vs 4 marines while playing defensively? Any units in a bunker gain +1 range I'd think marines would be better, simply because they have less than half the health of a marauder but I could be wrong, I'm not a terran. | ||

Build assim before he rebuilds the extractor, 4 gate all in, 5 gate in all, fake a 4 gate, fake a 5 gate, fake a 4 gate into a fake expo thats actually a five gate. Feel like all those posters are just bronze newbs. Should I just take my gas a few supply earlier than I'd prefer if he has a drone in my base to avoid it? And what do I do when he does? I just sit there like an idiot for like 3 minutes, and I cant get the gas down first. if you don't want to all in just play standard and expand. if you wanted to do fast tech off 1base, you'll be seriously delayed. best response is probably throwing down a nexus and a forge and continue pumping units, whatever you can afford. oh and obviously you'll want to take that geyser back asap. just to put it into perspective, it will actually cost a zerg player about 200 minerals if they opt to gas steal you and you try a 4gate all in. 200 minerals = 8 zerglings = 2 last minute spines. that's pretty huge. | ||

My comp before he made the big attack was a maxed 7 collosi, blinkstalkers and a few sentries mixed in with 2/2 upgrades. All throughout the game I denied multiple expansion attempts and pretty much kept the supply lead the entire game. However, my army stood no chance once this massive Zerg carnage rolled into my base. The stalkers were fungaled, the collosi getting killed by the broodlords and the lings just cleaned everything up. Looking back on it my, army comp was totally useless against this lesser supply army. Also, why don't more zergs aim for this comp... >.> Main question: What is the ideal Protoss unit comp for dealing with infestor/ling/broodlord? HTs mainly. The "counter" to infestor play is stalker/HT/archon, with some sentry/immortal if roaches and zealots if mass lings. Zergs who don't aim for this infestors are dumb, actually the majority of zergs I see now go for infestors. Focus on keeping your HTs from balling up and losing all of them to a fungal. If you already went the colossus route, that's ok, but you'll need void rays to battle brood lords. Again, just be careful not to get all your voids caught by 1 fungal. Colossus/stalker/sentry is a great mid game composition but late game you really need to add void rays or HT or both. | ||

3 full-saturated bases? 3 * 24 ?? | ||

Most players stop producing SCVs somewhere in the 70s, though, because you don't want half your supply to be in workers when the big 200/200 battle comes. If a game goes into mega-macro mode where you're floating a lot of resources, you can build a large number of Orbitals, sac a lot of SCVs and rely on MULEs for your mineral income, which will allow you to have a maxed army with ~170 army supply. That's a pretty significant advantage for late-game Terran, since the other races will have around 130 max army supply (a fact that is made up for by P and Z's ability to replenish very rapidly, and somewhat by Z's ability to use the building-cancel trick to exceed 200 total supply). | ||
