I stop it by putting a canon in my mineral line and stopping him from there, but afterwards ill do a 3 or 4 gate attack, and he always has spines or roaches to defend it, if I play a macro game, they just get back up to 70 drones and its an even game. What should the follow up be when stopping a 6 pool? Im a platinum zerg, and when i was bronze/silver and six pooled and, obviously failed, I always found 2gate zealot follow ups to always defeat me, even 3 gates just streaming zealots while chrono'ing to hurry it up a bit. Alternatively a +1 zealot timing to 2 shot lings because the last ting Z worries about after failing at cheesing is their +1 carapace upgrade prevent them being 2 shotted - very powerful. | ||

Getting melee upgrades solely for your broodlings is not worth it, just get air attack. | ||

Shouldn't it be sufficient just to hold down the inject button because this should normally count as multipley hits on the key? Well if it is necessary its because it wouldn't work if you didn't? It probably means that you don't have to reselect your queens after bouncing to the next base. I know i hold down shift ... if i do it its probably because not doing it doesn't work ... | ||

The idea with blink stalkers is that they, in a perfect world, take zero health-damage and only shield-damage, so if you can micro like that you should always go for shield-upgrade. The reason for most pro-gamers going for armor is that especially zealots (which are like the most used unit) have a greater health-then-shield ratio, and therefor benefit more from armor. But, if you are going for blink-stalker+archon then shield is alot better. tl:dr If only stalkers (or archon) = shield+attack. If normal army (stalkers AND zealot, sentry, HT, colossi or whatever) = armor+weapon . | ||

So I ask, what's the rationale for pulling workers? Wouldn't just leaving them be more cost-effective? | ||

I saw a thread with a ton of timings but I seem to have misplaced it, anyone know what I'm talking about? Basic Opening/Timings Guide is my go-to reference for timings, but there aren't explicit HT timings given. I'll defer on that to someone with a better game sense. | ||

I thought it was an excellent guide, so I casted some of the replays in it, highlighting the things he said. Here is the guide: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=287788 And here are the casted replays he provided: + Show Spoiler + edit: spoiler tags | ||

I want to find PvT games where the Terran goes 1/1/1 strategy, whatever variation, so I can watch, analyse and help some friends (or at least convince them it isn't OP, just really hard, as 4 gate is hard etc), but for that I want a game at GSL because at the korean level I think players do everything better, specially defending, and I want some game from this year because I only have 2012 tickets and also because the metagame changes so often, no point on analysing an old strategy. So, the more the better, I am not sure there was one game with such strategy this year, but I'd think some Protoss/terran that follows GSL would at least know that at S1 Code A player X did it against someone? Or maybe you can affirm that no one used this strategy this year at GSL, it will help as well, so I don't even dig it through the VODs. Thanks  | ||

I saw a thread with a ton of timings but I seem to have misplaced it, anyone know what I'm talking about? It varies a lot depending on what build they open. Really fast HT's with storm come out at 9:30-9:45 though. Pretty much the same as fast colossus. | ||
