I'm attacking a PF, and the t grabs all his SCVs to repair it. I toss down some fungals to kill the SCVs.

Question: Can an SCV continue repairing while its fungled?

Yes as long they are in range of their repair target in the first place.

Hi, I tried to search for it, but I only found this question asked in the BW strategy section or from the terrans point of view (whether it's viable).

So what I'd like to know is how to react as a zerg, when a terran blocks your natural with an ebay?

Additional thoughts:
I don't know if I should attack the scv with 4 drones and then work on the ebay or should I just ingore it and build a pool and gas and expand when my 4 lings killed the ebay. Thanks for any advices, hope it wasn't asked too often, somewhere on this 600 pages

Throw down a pool instead of making a hatch, when your lings pop attack the engy bay.


Also shift-spam attack the scv with a single drone to prevent the ebay from going up in health too much.

So I've been goofing around with doing a TvP style gasless 1 rax fast expand into a big upgraded MMM push @ 9-10 minutes-ish against zerg. So far it's worked pretty well (despite being very passive in the early game), but my build is anything but refined.

I'm wondering if anyone else does this? I'm interested in studying replays to improve it further.
SCV ready!

TvZ, you think that a 7 roach rush may be coming, and as a Terran you are 1 rax FE:
1) how many bunkers?
2) bunkers in the high ground or can I put them down in the natural when the natural has a ramp?

What are the pros and cons of a 3 stalker rush vs terran (or even 5)?
I can say what I want to. Even if I'm not serious.

Hi all!

I am trying to incorporate Nydus into my play, especially when facing Mech. I often hear Day[9] talk about using a double Nydus worm and my question is what do you do with your army?

Do you wait to put them into the worms until they have built in the opponents base to see which one to enter? or do you do half and half?

Some help here would be great! <3
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

All Nydus Networks and worms are connected to each other. So it doesn't matter where you load, you can unload at any network or completed worm. Also, the units in the network are not killed unless ALL worms AND networks have been destroyed.
A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head.

I like to open reactored barracks into expand against protoss. When should I take my gas so that I have 50 gas when my first marine pops out. (Then I take scvs out of gas and expand with more marines).

Try it.
Time this out:
Build Refinery
Move SCV's
50 Gas mined

Then you know early you should build your refinery.

(I believe the first marine pops at around 3:00~3:10, not completely sure though ^^)

I have a question for my zerg buddies on TL. I really can't understand why in the mid/late game when zerg is sitting on 3-5 base worth of gas, why they don't get overlord drop & speed?

Why? Zerg thrive with mobile harassing (much like a terran medivac dropping everywhere if zerg have BLs / infestor ling). SImply loading some lings / zerglings (Which are expendable in the late game at least) can wreck so much havoc in the terran production facilities & catching ther terran out of position. And everyone knows, hit a terran's economy and he can survive. But hit his production and you can ROFL stomp him 2 mins later (Or immediately). It simply dumbfounds me every time...
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. http://da.twitch.tv/sonic_eu

3:00~3:10 is about right. I think actually that about 3:08 or 3:09 is the fastest possible Marine.

It's not that I didn't tried.
I tried taking gas between 13-15 having 2 or 3 scvs in gas. But I didn't find a timing where it adds up well.
So I thought maybe you guys figured it out.

I guess you really didn't try.
This took max 10 minutes for me.

From liquipedia:
(Wiki)Refinery Build Time: 30seconds
(Wiki)Mining gas: ~114 gas/minute

Time to 50 gas = 50 / 114 = ~27 seconds (Rounded up)

Refinery Build Time + Time to 50 gas = 30s + 27s = 57s

Assuming first marine at 3m10s
=> Start Refinery at 2m13s

You probably need to try and fit this with the amount of minerals you have. This is a tool that can help you with that http://sc2planner.com/

How do you fancy drop from a medivac? I see pros drop marines in a straight line as they're moving the medivac, but I cant find the hotkey for dropping only one marine. The only option is unload all, which stops the medivac in one place to slowly eject all the marines, making it easy for the enemy to scout and react.

Hit "unload all", then click the medivac. The Medivac will continue carrying out its move orders and will drop units as it does so.

Alternately, you can click the units shown in the Medivac's info panel, if you want to drop a particular unit first.

This works the same for Overlords and Warp Prisms, so if you're a Zerg or Protoss player planning to post this week's copy of this question for your race, now you don't have to .

Select medivac, press D (unload), click medivac (not ground).
Make more anything.
