This means, don't order new units to be produced while a unit is currently in production. So, a marine takes 25 seconds to build. During those 25 seconds, avoid ordering more marines to be built from the same barracks until the first one is finished or very close to finishing. You should follow this rule for ALL your production buildings. | ||

I know it can't detect, but does it show that the unit is there? | ||

Just to confirm, in case there's any confusion: Sensor towers do not show cloaked units on the minimap. quote from  liquipedia article on Sensor Towers:The Sensor Tower senses - but does not detect - any approaching uncloaked enemy units and displays them as red exclamation marks in the fog of war. | ||

Also against fast expanding protoss it allows you to get defence(spores mostly) in time. That's not a reason for zerg to be ahead a base. Any race wants extra income, not just zerg. Most zergs need to be ahead because their units are extremely quick but fragile, so they need to have the income in order to resupply quickly. However with infestors being extremely cost efficient, that need isn't as important. | ||

Also, if you leave templar and the feedback doesnt kill the drop ship, you're still screwed Try placing some cannons near the edge of the base with a templar. A feedback + cannons is amazing at sniping medivacs. However if you want to try this you have to have good mechanics in watching the minimap. | ||

(i assume you only have cannons around the miineral lines, having them everywhere seems a bit ridiculous haha) Generally you don't want them around the min lines. YOu want them in a way so that they'll "zone" the drop. For example making three along an edge forces the drop path in a predictable fashion so that you'll be more apt to handle it and respond faster. The other thing is, you probably should be engaging or attacking a little before you're maxed so you can warp in. If you're maxed, then it's just more time that your opponent can increase their army size to combat yours while yours isn't growing anymore. | ||

You make marines and get a fast CC, pressuring with the marines to force units from zerg and cover for your expo. Transitions smoothly into anything.Tn TvP, I like to use a slightly different 2 Rax Pressure FE that gets marauders. You need Marauders (usually with concussive shell) against protoss so that stalkers don't kite you all over the place. You get Marines, Marauders, and a fast command center. This transitions well into Bio play.In TvT, a build I like is to attack quickly with a Reactor Hellion Expand which gets you hellions and sets you up for a hellion/tank mid-game which is common. How you transition out of this, though, is really a function of expansion timing and what your opponent is doing (you'll need anti-air if he gets starport tech, for example). | ||
