TOP Master player here, this build when well pulled is quiteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee efficient. If you don't see it coming it smasher the shit out of you. Wondering whats best to stop it, 1gate chrono sentries with forge or 2-3 gate with chrono stalkers what do you guys think ? Trying to find a way to stop this rather then microing the shit out of my 3-4 stalkers (top masters opinions please ) | ||

So I think pulling off this Cheese at a low level will be pretty tough. | ||

Toss: blindly getting a sentry or 2 out fast, basicly dead then terran: randomly getting a bunker, if they are quick to repair its gg zerg: havnt lost yet :D | ||

Some people play pro-BOs, some just play this game for random fun, and others have some mechanics, but still to completely strange buildorders, and still pump quite decent amounts of units out That seems to be the reason why people who stayed pretty long in such a "low" league start to bunker/cannon/spine-ling a lot. The last 20 early pushes (stim timing or whatever) were not scouted at all, but still met some decent defensive structures. So I think pulling off this Cheese at a low level will be pretty tough. I completely disagree with this. I deliberately tried this on a lower league account (Silver), it worked on Bronze, Silver, and Gold alike. It just requires good micro of unit placement, and stutter-stepping the units, as well as good placement of SCVs in order to successfully tank the damage. If they focus fire the Marines and you lose them, it's over. | ||

For example, on 4 players map, if your scout reached his base in time to see him put up a spine, experience tells you that if you push out now, his spine wont be done. So even if you don't have the right amount of marines, it's a good idea to push out a soon as you see him morphing that spine. Same goes for scouted roach warren. The idea is to always attack when your opponent is least ready. Maybe scouting with the first scv who builds a barracks is a godd thing vs zerg opponents. Best thing for me to do is enclose a replay to see what happened to me. I will say however, that I practiced this build to the point that I watch the clock, and at precisely 4:30 I pull my SCV's off the line and with all the marines I have, make the do-or-die march to his base. I think what happened in that roach/crawler game is, my scout never made it inside his base to see anything(killed by lings). His first scouting drone came really fast too...and when he saw the depot/rax on the low ground, he immediately smelled cheese. | ||

Not sure how to upload replays though. Seems a bit risky vs Zerg since there's a 1/3 chance you get scouted immediately and it's an auto-loss, and then obviously even if you don't get scouted first, they might catch on and still get you somehow. | ||

encountered it 2times today, the first time I got smashed, the second time I won, because I was going roach all-in myself (because I scouted 2fast rax, and I wanted to try how an roach allin performs vs that...) | ||

I was instantly suspisious when I scouted the callsupply as zerg on the depot near the ramp but then it was already to late. I barely held it off but the dmg had been done and the next wave meant gg. Going to check a few of the replays soon. Thanks for sharing! How was there another wave, the strategy involves pulling all scvs, if you don't then it's incredibly easy to stop. | ||

I thought that they patched it so you couldn't wall off with 2 buildings anymore. Anyway now I'll be using this wall off to my advantage. It's very helpful. Can't wall off with 2x2 buildings anymore. Bunkers, depots, and rax can all wall off lower ground, on most ramps, still. | ||

In the second one the guy felt the need to drophack me though^^ but yeah a retarded build Did you report him? I'm feeling brain dead for playing with this build too much, too. It definitely is a retarded build. | ||

The low wall makes it difficult to scout, but its very existence screams 'marine rush'. | ||
