I do love seeing this on ladder after this thread. See a low-ground wall-off and its gg.

If I played T, I'd be walling off on the low ground and 1 rax CCing every game right now.

Yeah took perfect micro against a scrub. This is pretty ridiculous along with that tank/raven/banshee all in. Does toss or zerg have anything like this? I mean zero skill one strat and put you in masters? I doubt it.

you guys need to stop senselessly bumping this thread

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

I don't get why players don't do this. 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.

I'm pretty sure it works on all the ladder maps except for tda and scrap station ?
Are you talking about the PTR maps ?

@ Geiko: I'm going to stop wasting my time with your build order.
@ tuestresfat: Good idea. You should definitely use this on Shakuras in a bo3. I, however, will stop feeding the trolls.

Dual wielding.


Dude... the guy made it to High Masters with this build and defeated well-known Grandmasters (not once but twice with different accounts) which means he has some practical experience whereas you and a lot of other players are just doing theorycrafting from what I can see.

I've read this thread from day 1 honestly and I am sick and tired of lower-ranked players insulting the guy. People need to really give the guy some respect for giving out this build which while not a good build to do all the time, a good build to add to your repertoire and pull out here and there.


CombatEX and RatzDeezer made it to high Grandmasters b/c of the cannon rush and proxy warpgate and stargate. 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 love this build simply because now I can wall off on the low ground and do whatever the hell I want behind it and people automatically assume it is this all-in.

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).

I've raged several times losing to this, and that low ground wall off always makes me suspicious nowadays. As I've been using Protoss lately, I've been trying forge opening builds where I also "scare" my opponent (even in PvP) and try to use that to then secure an expansion or get tech up faster than they expect. It would also obviously be helpful to have a forge already built if you scout this all-in coming. Of course, diamond play is unrefined.

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.

Just tested this and it still works (you had me worried for a second :p)
This is what it should like (picture from a previous answer in this thread):

It takes a little bit of practise but then you can do it on all the normal ramp maps
