If you send a scout scv you can easily keep it alive against Probes & Zealots, so if you see only Zealots (or more likely 2 gates being chrono boosted and nothing being produced) you can make enough marines, if you see a cyber core going down it's not Zealot rush. My question for today is what are good indicators that it is time to upgrade to Lair and HIve? | ||

Then they'll repair inside of a dropship.

My question for today is what are good indicators that it is time to upgrade to Lair and HIve? For Lair, if you aren't doing an early rush with roaches or a baneling bust, then you want to use your 2nd set of 100 gas to get your Lair, with your first being Zergling Speed. This will happen around ~6 minutes and let you get your tech going quickly. For Hive, it really depends. If you're into the late game with many bases and feel like you can afford to produce Brood Lords and/or Ultras, that'd be the time. Otherwise, too early is just a waste of money. | ||

10 Supply 12 Barracks 13 Gas 15 Oribital past that get a couple more barracks, get 2 tech labs and 1 reactor, then a factory and go tanks/marines/marauders, with a starport for a few medivacs. if you're looking for a more complex answer, i suggest http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Terran_Strategy#Match-ups and maybe searching iEchoic's TvT build | ||

I also try to time my Hive so I can continue with my upgrades. | ||

Often do I see pro players maynard half their drones, and even when pressure arrives they don't transfer anything back, which from time to time leads to the opponent getting some drone kills until the Zerg builds a large enough army/gets the roach warren done to fend off the attack. Obviously it would be really stupid to go above 30 drones on your main base if you have your natural completed, but I'm referring to the early game, when you are between the 14-25ish worker range. | ||

Got marine/scv'ed, tried having the line cut the bunker in half, was too close. Everything else looks like the line doesnt even touch the bunker? | ||

Depends. If its a 2 rax bunker rush, then you need to pull drones and snipe the scv. If its a Hellions build, then you want roaches. Have your queen block your ramp to buy time until the roaches pop and transfer your drones to your main. | ||
