In fact all good one base roach pushes get gas after pool that I know of. So if you scout pool then gas, then your probe sees no expansion by ~22food you can be reasonably certain of a one base roach build. | ||

When do you normally have all this extra gas, what is your unit composition at this time and what production and tech structures to you have at that point? | ||

I usually end up taking only one more for a long time), you can make probes stop mining gas for a while until your minerals catch up (theres no shame in this. A lot of pro players do it as well), or you could tech to a gas-dump unit like the high templar or collosus. But yeah, is kinda hard to know exactly what you're doing wrong without a replay. | ||

PvZ I played a game against a zerg, which I discovered after watching the replay, went fast 3rd and somewhat of a fast lair. When I watch pro zergs play they generally delay their lair a couple minutes more than this guy did. Is this because it's more economical to delay lair or does the zerg open himself up for a exploitable timing if he does this? (meaning I should cut stargate units, slap down 2-3 more gates and attack him) I know this hasn't much to do with what cost me the game, which was my greedy 3rd coupled with kinda sloppy execution and awful engagements/late forcefields, but I would like to know if I have a timing cuz I like attacking ^_^ assuming I scout for lair timing which I didnt ... -.- replay: ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-235787.jpg) | ||

If you miss it and he gets through, Make sure all your SCVs is in one big clump, and maybe buy yourself some time by running around until some more scvs are out. You should easily be able to have more workers than him. Do NOT have auto repair on, as this makes the scvs repair eachother instead of attacking. | ||

Why should my SCV are in a big clump? then he can surround me and some SCV can not do damage ... | ||

I think he means more like don't let any get away from the majority of your SCVs because they can be picked off easily for little damage. Dont be afraid to cancel your Orbital Command so that you can produce SCVs. MULEs can't attack and he's all-in so it would be better to cancel and produce more. | ||

Of course, I didn't mean to not micro and try to get positional advantage when fighting. Just don't have 3 scvs lying around on the left, 1 building a barracks, 2 repairing a depot, 1 mining gas..etc. Keep them all togheter so they can fight togheter. | ||

How much ahead do you have to be in order to build a manner nexus in your enemy's base and then build a mothership and then vortex all his workers?... Actually I'm sure that could be an easy answer, but i was thinking a more accurately numerical one. | ||

So filling the edges of you main should work to help stop drops right? Your opponent can simply fly past the depots. This doesn't make depots less useful for scouting and baiting drops (which are their primary purpose in this scenario), but it makes them far less useful for directly deterring a drop. What they can do is block off edges of your base from being accessible which is good, e.g., against blink stalkers that can barely blink across a gap or reapers if you're anticipating that kind of business. | ||
