Looks like the death of stim timing pushes made protoss players forget proper ramp forcefielding. | ||

I chronoed out 3 sentries but I STILL lost to it even with perfect forcefields on my ramp and most of the SCVs dead. Sigh, now every Terran I play that doesn't 1 base marine/banshee/raven/thor all-in does this crap. Why can't Terrans play macro games like the other races? I don't usually get mad but this is getting on my nerves. I've been working for months to get into diamond and have finally been playing diamond and master players exclusively but now I keep getting hit with this crap and it's tanking my rating, and now I'm only platinum players again... I always make macro game in ladder vs toss... at least I try. All the times I've been 4 gated, 1 colo pushed, or 3 gate void raided... The terran aren't the only lamer out there, I assure you. Moreover, a macro game vs a toss is extremely hard, you need crazy multitasking to win with an opponent at your same level. | ||

I used this build and went 8-0 on my master league account. I dont like to balance whine on the forums but i seriously think this is broken, i would tell zergs this was coming and i would still win. The hard counters were 1 base roach or a quick baneling Its not broken, its a cheese that only works 1 time. After that anyone with a brain will figure a way out to beat it. | ||

I am not saying at all that harassment should not be used, but there is a big difference between a 10 minutes marine tank timing push designed to stop a zerg third or dropping at expos to lower drone count, and a marine scv allin that comes at 4 minutes designed to kill the opponent flat out. Yet you put all that together and call it cheese. If you dont think that "10 minutes marine tank timing push designed to stop a zerg third" is cheese - then just dont call it cheese. BTW if you call rush for medievac drop cheese then rushing for mutas or nydus is also cheese... This "debate" is completely useless. And for everyone who didnt know, this build is very, very, very old. And its, next to 10 pool speedlings, most standard build in 4v4 (3v3) higher level games - for 4:30 rushes (so terran attack with 6 rines and zerg like ~15 slings or so, at 4:30 not leaving base at 4:30). I just never though I could see that in 1v1. | ||

Place your supply depot in a helpful place in your main. For example where it might spot a drop early for you later on. This way when the scouting probe / scv comes in the base he will see and think nothing of it and won't go looking over there again when you go supply drop it. Build the first barracks in your base, the other 2 outside your base. Don't let the probe or scv see those two leave. It's not the hardest thing to do. Also you find people scout, however they don't actually scout at levels up to high diamond. It's lik they listen but they don't hear. It's rare that anyones reacted to my build. The only thing they've reacted to is finding the other two barracks and thats a given. However they just treat it as a standard 1 rax expand or you waiting for them to get out of your base. | ||

Taking those 2 SCV's out for a proxied/hidden 2 Rax can be easily scouted as any competent player would be at least a little suspicious of there being nothing else in the base and would count your workers, then go looking for what's missing/preparing for more Rax as you don't have a Gas. I would also guess that it would throw off the timings of the build due to the distance. And last you don't make decisions on builds based on the poor scouting techniques of lower level players. | ||

Let me put the last part in bold for you. You don't make decisions on builds based on the poor scouting techniques of lower level players. I also know that your statement is completely incorrect and blanket statements should never apply across all skill levels. Please don't give bad advise. | ||
