I can't really see if he's going 6 gate, stargate play or just standard based on ling scouting. I see pros only use ling scout and not overlord sacc and I'm just curious how they do it. It's best to get an overseer immediately after lair tech and use that to scout what your opponent is going for, you should also scout the front with lings, you can get a decent read on what he's doing just from that. | ||

i seek for a good all-in strategy for tvp (as t) on low-skill level (diamond-low master). please not 1-1-1 (i feel i don't have the skill to execute it properly, and don't want to invest much time and effort into learning it). i just want something that i can do in tvp to end it quickly and not to go for 1 rax fe every game  i was trying with 2 rax fast stim into fast medivacs into 3rd rax and pressure, but i feel most protoss can defeat it easily. so can you please suggest a strat? again, i'm diamond and have terrible micro and multitasking. and if possible, not something weird like fast thor or 2port banshee, i'd prefer a strat that leaves you with some options if you didn't end the game but just did sufficient damage. ps. didn't want to make another thread for it, sorry for long post. | ||

The best all-in by far right now is the 1-1-1. If you don't have the multitasking or micro required to execute that build, then you should either practice that micro and multitasking in a custom game or play a longer macro style game so that your macro can make up for your inferior micro. As for a good all-in, I would say proxy 2 rax. Find a good proxy location that isn't easily scouted, build 2 barracks, then when you have ~6-10 marines, pull all but 4 SCVs and rush up the ramp with your SCVs in front. If you want to be able to transition out of it, only pull 2 SCVs and build bunkers in his base. | ||

What the hell DO you want? If you really want to end it quickly, why not do a 1 or 2 thor push with mass repair and a bunch of marines? Your only job then is to keep the scvs on auto repair, deny observers, and hide your armory well enough. EDIT: 2 base 6rax with no gas can be pretty hilarious, especially if you proxy some of the raxes. | ||

2. Does the new rax build time change anything with orbital timing? 3. Do I always go 16 orbital as t or is there a time when i need to go 15? | ||

Does the new rax build time change anything with orbital timing? 3. Do I always go 16 orbital as t or is there a time when i need to go 15? The consensus is that it's negligible, 16 seems to have an extremely small economic edge according to: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=11948980 | ||

What made Phenoix + DT not viable in sc2 that corsair + DT could work in sc1? | ||

There are TONS of extremely accomplished players, though this guy is probably right about Idra being the most well-known coach for his popularity. Check out Gosucoaching.com, or really just type coaching into the search bar and look for websites that have teams of pro coaches | ||

Fungal reveals cloaked units and is pretty good at locking down phoenixes so that they can be killed, but also the transitions out of it became weaker. To go from DT to HT requires a whole new building effectively doubling the gas cost, storm is worse than it was against most zerg compositions, zealots aren't as good against hydralisks as they were and roaches didn't exist. | ||

To efficiently put SCV to repair Mech, you put them on auto repair, then just click on any unit right? (To follow them) Because if I include them in my control group, and I press A move, they attack. I dont want SCVS to attack, I want them to repair any damage done to my mech units during the battles. Whats the proper way? Is mine correct? Cheers | ||

Phoenix/dt transitions pretty well into zealot/archon though... I think phoenix/dt was stronger last patch when overseers were 100 gas, but its still decent. It forces them to use a lot more gas on overseers, provides a lot of harassment and map control, and you have a really really good mineral dump in the charge zealots. In the end, phoenix do pretty well against hydras too assuming you dont lose them. I have only done it a couple of times, but it has won every time. PS: Off topic, but does anybody know just how many times in recent games zergs have hit the wrong hotkey and built a 2nd infestation pit instead of an ultralisk cavern (in high level play)? I know I have almost done it a lot, just think its funny to see it happen so often at the highest levels. | ||
