You just kite to the timing of the slower unit, which is the marauder in this case. You lose some dps off the marine but.. it would be very hard to kite perfectly with two separate control groups with units of different weapon speeds. And kiting tot he speed of the marine means none of your marauders are doing damage. | ||

All the people I've asked simply said 'drone up', sound unintuitive because I'll be massing worker units who won't pay for themselves by the time the lings come knocking at my base. | ||

All the people I've asked simply said 'drone up', sound unintuitive because I'll be massing worker units who won't pay for themselves by the time the lings come knocking at my base. I'll assume this is in ZvZ. First thing... what build are you going If you go 15 hatch, you may need to cancel or sac the hatchery If you go 14/14, save 3 larva for when your spawning pool gets up. Build 6 lings, defend with lings, drones and a queen. After the agression, drone up. You will be ahead. Watch out for banelings pressure from here on out if you go 13-16 pool, same deal. You just won't have speed for a little while Second thing... What variant of 10 pool is he going? Is he getting gas? Is he trying to get a spine up on your creep? If he gets gas, expect speed to come up. If he continues to mine gas after the initial 100, he is either bad, or going for baneling pressure. Do your best to keep the spine from getting up. However, don't target the building spine as opposed to lings. Check the search... there a bunch of threads about this. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=294048 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=276384 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=295181 | ||

This is too vague of a question. EDIT: Zergling, queen, infestor, roach, hydra, baneling, broodlord, corrupter, mutalisk, spine crawler, spore crawler, drone. Ultras suck. | ||

They either open 2rax or hellions and there is no way for me to tell unless I wait for those two marines to come out or see the reactor. If he gets gas 'as' he is getting his barracks, then he is either a) delaying an scv or b) delaying his rax. Either way... it doesn't mean either thing in this case... so I'm just going to assume that he gets gas after the rax. If he gets gas after the rax, you can't assume anything. You can state that (if you see the gas finish) "if he is mining gas, he won't be able to make a big marine count early on." Don't assume what he is doing based on what you see... assume he is doing everything else but what you scout can't be possible. That means, he is potentially going for hellions, or he is going to go for 2 rax (i'm assuming that you are protoss, because no terran will 2 rax[conc] a zerg) You will need more intel then just a gas... although now you can assume no early expo and no 2 rax bunker pressure. However, if you see him getting gas BEFORE rax, you can state that he won't be getting a large marine count, and is potentially going to tech. There, it is suggested that he could get tanks, banshees, quick medivacs, hellions, ect... EDIT: You are zerg. Sorry If you see gas, the 2 rax will be delayed. Therefore, it would suggest that (if your opponent is playing optimally) you opponent is going for some sort of tech (such as hellions, banshees, tanks, ect). He could also be going for a marine marauder army... although this is a lot less common with today's metagame. | ||

If you say you can't scout the push coming, then that's probably a big part of your problem; work on scouting and learning to read what your opponent is doing based on what you can see. I'm sorry for the lack of a replay to make this easier on you but a replay could divert the focus onto specific shortcomings of my one single game, or some issues with the mechanics, while what I see as the issue here is the Zerg going blind roaches (or reading me from a naked rax on the wall-in?) in a significant number with a later timing, without getting scouted (I'm not talking about the kind of roach rush you can easily hold by repairing a bunker with four rines inside). I also have a bit of a problem choosing the right counter when I do know roaches are coming and have the time. Thors don't work since they're too few and die to focus fire from roaches (esp. with a good concave, which is easy when they have huge numerical advantage), marauders surprisingly don't do a great job either, generally bio works poorly (roach muta eats my bio alive), as does infantry/tank in my execution (roaches alone can generally defeat it, just a decent mass of them). I suppose roach is basically that one unit I can't handle that well (due to manoeuvring/cost efficiency and maybe scouting issues). I've heard that everybody has this kind of unit, guess roach is mine. | ||

I've heard that everybody has this kind of unit, guess roach is mine. If you are having trouble with roaches, you need to learn how to turtle. Roaches are an aggressive unit from zerg; if they aren't attacking then they are just wasting supply. Believe it or not... infantry/tank is the way to go. I would suggest going for a siege expand, and then turtling on two bases until you get a 3-4 tanks, and at least 2 medivacs. Push out with your tanks slowly, while taking a base. A good tactic (to make sure they don't get you unsieged) is to drop at the same time as you push forward with your tanks. If they attack your army, their econ will be crippled. If they attack the drop, you gain that valuable ground. | ||

Colossus eat up hydras and infestors... the obvious counter to voidrays. The two units have a good synergy in that way. | ||
