to answer your question this works on every map with a standard ramp. it's simple just strike scrap station and taldarim and you're good to go | ||

There's really no possibility to get in a scout. You could be going 1 rax CC, 3 rax or 7 rax for all they know. Am I missing something here? It doesn't seem much more vulnerable to banelings, right? | ||

Because any pressure from protoss will snipe your supply depo with a stalker and in general just annoy the hell out of you, not to mention it probably makes you a lot weaker against 3gate pressure or a 4gate. and if protoss thinks you are doing the cheese and it doesn't come, they WILL pressure you because you forced them to make an army. Against zerg its not so bad but it is weak to roaches and its a pretty bad against a baneling bust unless you wall off the top aswell. This strategy is pretty much common knowledge now, most people know how to defend against it. I doubt you could even get out of diamond with it let alone GM, I tried it for about 5 games, only won 2 of them, and against terran its 100% loss if they make a bunker. | ||

By your rationale, we have no right to rebut anything they have to say about SC2 b/c they're ranked higher than us even though they're horrible players with cheesy builds. I'm sick of people making the fallacy of authority, but it's easier to attack someone's credibility than to address his argument. You can criticize him for a lot of stuff, but the point I want to make is that he knows the insides and outs of this build more than most people and this build does not encompass ALL of SC2. It's like CombatEx and Deezer knowing specifically proxy warpgate and stargate better than most people because they do it all the time. Ok man, you just blew everything out of proportion with what I said when you replied to the other guy defending me and I'm going to stop since I don't remember saying what you said I said in the way you think I said it to that other guy. There is such a thing as nuance and not black and white yes or no bro... Then again, the English language is very interpretive so you're not necessarily wrong if this was a class on semantics. It's just that If you went through this thread, you really would notice there are a lot of insults thrown at the guy and I just feel as if people need to thank this guy at the very least. Heck, people keep on saying it just doesn't work anymore and yet he just goes and makes it work, I think that counts for something... | ||

I've killed a number of Zergs with Reactor Hellion or 2 Port Banshee, or Protosses with 3 Rax or Cloakshee, because they assumed I was attacking at 5 minutes with all my SCVs. Metagame ftw. (I play Random and Terran is my worst race, so I have to resort to a lot of cheese at Mid-Master). | ||

Well, I'm talking about TvZ, I wouldn't use it against P. Isn't a normal 2 rax, 1 supply depot just a vulnerable to bling/roach though? I mean, almost every GSL Terran did these wall-offs until GOM made it impossible on GSL maps, so it must be pretty damn good. | ||
