It always seem that anytime Terran makes any progress the fact that Toss can just walk up into your base just crushes the dream  | ||

And FF is more then capable of defending any stim push. Not to mention the Stim Nerf. 1 Gate Robo is safe unless you don;t know how to use FF. Terran has the biggest issue FEing because of how gay Toss can be with Voids which forces you to split your forces. Immortals that rape bunkers, FF that split your early Bio. Yeah toss should really be afraid. | ||

Yeah toss should really be afraid. If you're afraid of a rush you can evacuate your expansion. You really don't need to have your CC in place until Protoss claims his expansion anyway. One base two Orbital is better than one base one nexus. | ||

I think I'm going to go on record and say I don't really like the 15CC. I'm not sold on it yet. You're relying on bunkers (risky + $$$) You're delaying tech and production You're now double producing SCVs ... Obviously if it goes unchecked and the threshold of vulnerability passes it is incredibly useful, but on the ladder where you have no concept of your opponent's style (unless you're high level and face a lot of well known or the same opponents) I still favor "safer" openers. | ||

 ).It's just dissapointing that you're going through a lot of trouble (probe harass bleh) while in the end it'll net you about 2 SCV's more than you'd have with a much simpler and safer 1 Rax FE. At the 6 min (4-gate) mark your economy is pretty much equal to 1 Rax FE, but with less marines to defend. Timings work out so you can get 2 additional rax building before the CC finishes while having just enough minerals to morph it into an OC, but I kinda feel like I need a bunker ready around the 4:30 mark to hold off the inevitable zealot stalker push with just marines. | ||

Yeah toss should really be afraid. 1 gate FE gets a cyber core before FE thus is actually as slow as a 2 rax fe with gas... 15 cc is like a minute before a 1 gate FE. anyways most protoss either go 3 gate expand or 2 gate robo on ladder against T. some do 1 gate FE but SCV all in kills that every time. | ||

I don't see how the terran can deal with this + stalkers following + 3 gate pressure. Seems like 1 rax FE would be much better | ||

If he tries a contain you get tanks and drop him. I start a third CC as soon as I get a safe natural. This actually seems to be the best idea IMO. Your main is nowhere near saturated on a 15 CC. You don't need to expand immediately. Unless you really need the gas keeping your CC on one base is much safer. | ||
