Yes I scan enemy base for seeing if he has a dark shrine, but you wont always see it. Its not just scouting what he has, but also scouting what he doesn't have. If you spot him on a single base, without expo, without a proper army, and without any kind of tech, you need to put two and two togheter and get ready for something. Start saving up a couple of scans, and plop down an engineering bay. Yes, in a macro game that wouldn't be ideal, but remember that you've already scouted that he's behind on everything, so investing into being safe is the correct choice. | ||

If you're really desperate, I guess you could use a recording program to record your minimap, and put it on a window thats "always on", and just place it over where the old minimap is. I don't know the technicalities on how to do that thought. not to mention you wont be able to click on it. | ||

Yes I scan enemy base for seeing if he has a dark shrine, but you wont always see it. You have to 6:30 scan them. Don't forget to note the pylon positioning with your first scv scout so you can hit a good scan. If you don't see a robo, stargates or enough gates to think you're being all innned, it could be dts. Try pushing with your marines once you get 4-6. Don't go too far. Just enough to see if you're being pinned with a staker. You can usually sneak a marine out to look for proxy pylons. | ||

Why do some players rally out their 8th probe to go plant the pylon, but other players send their probe later and end up putting down a slightly late pylon. I've seen both methods from high level replays and games, and I would assume that rallying out the 8th is best since your pylon goes down at 100 minerals instead of being delayed. However, I see a lot of high leveled players delaying this pylon until around 120-150 minerals for reasons that I can't understand. Are these high level players just making a mistake, or is there a valid reason that they're getting a late pylon? | ||

Let me know if you find a solution. I think talking while you play is a good idea. | ||

What is the best way to handle this and to end the game as quickly as possible as a terran player? I had a match that went for over an hour today trying to deal with this as I just couldn't get in. I ended up containing him but it just went on too long. http://drop.sc/315216 (I'm only silver) Edit: Sorry I should have put this in the terran strategy thread? Bad first post on the site DAT FEEL. when you ling bane roach all in a toss and then they sit at their ramp with 6 centries...................... and you get trolled for another 30 minutes. you did the right thing in that you expanded and took the whole map. but you should have gone for more beefy units. you could have thrown down like 50 rax and 50 tech labs and just thrown marauders at him  and you had the right idea with the battle cruisers but you only made a few. you should have traded marines, and popped out a lot more battle cruisers. you were a mostly marine army, vs siege tanks, mines, and banshees. you really could have done whatever you wanted. that was your only mistake, making lots of marines and losing a few drops. Its always better to just take the map and add on a lot more tech buildinds, get upgrades, its boring as hell but if you get too impatient and lose your whole army, he can counter and then youll REALLY feel dumb. youll learn later when your THAT far ahead, you really can just rally beefy units in and roll him over. but i would suggest just keep doing what your doing and dont take chances till you fully understand how to break a turtling player. | ||
