Why should a zerg always be one/multiple base(s) ahead from a nonzerg opponent ? It's not like they'll have 60+ workers at 10 minutes (at least, against a competent opponent), or lack other means of map control, so making an additional hatchery at a current base feels safer to me than blindly expanding => becoming open to multiple fronts. | ||

i.e. For PvT 2player maps I will gate scout, and pylon scout for 4player maps. PvZ I always pylon scout. What about Terrans? | ||

I usually scout after Depot vs T and Z to see the Gas Timing, against P i used to scout after Barracks, but on large 4 player maps im afraid of the Stalker and go scout after Depot. | ||

Many players build inbase hatches these days. It just makes sense to make it at an expansion if you can. If you can't than they just put it up inbase. Think you using "blindly" a bit too liberally | ||

To get extra income. With 3 bases you have 2 more gaysers and more minerals. More mineral patches are alway better, even if you arent fully saturated. Also against fast expanding protoss it allows you to get defence(spores mostly) in time. | ||

Its so annoying adding every individual unit that is qued to my army into its respective hotkey. It almost makes me wonder if its worth the apm. It's very distracting. I don't think so, however you can just box your whole army into one hotkey for crisis-management. Just be clear on what your priorities are and when. If there's nothing else important to do, then spend time setting up your 3 control group army. If you're in a huge battle and rallying more units to the fight, it's probably not worth it to re-create more control groups at that specific time. | ||

Constantly keep your minerals low (under 300-400) 3. Constantly make units 4. Never get supply blocked. 5. Don't cue units. If you do these things against somebody who is not doing these things, you will win. It sounds easier than it is. I'd recommend learning the 1/1/1 build if you are a beginner Terran player. Try to have no more than three production buildings per expansion. Sometimes there are exceptions to this. | ||

I usually can't scout all 6 gates, but if I do I'll throw up 4'sih bunkers. Most Toss expand builds can transition into a 6 gate if they feel terran is vulnerable. Generally if terran also goes for a fast expo along with bio while delaying stim. In this case I would get a bunch of reps. Say against a 1 gate FE into 6 gate, a 3 gate FE into 6 gate, a 2 gate obs FE into 6 gate and check a timing when all the gateways should be down. At which point you now know when to scan the toss player for tech and/or sac an scv/rine to see if they're going for a mass gateway play | ||

Spire isn't really something that needs to be hidden, given how standard muta/baneling is. Generealy, move out for harass if you have enough mutas that can to damage, around 6. | ||

Thx for you help I will implement your advice, there is just something I do not understand: 5. Don't cue units. I do not understand what you're trying to tell me, remember that my English is not very good, if you can explain better or in other words will thank you | ||
