Hey Warden, do you think that due to the new Hellion nerf, we need to make any adjustments to this build?

Could someone with experience with this build describe the main differences between this build and the "imba" 1/1/1 which the Koreans use? Can these builds transition into each other?


This build plans to expand and transition into the lategame. A 1/1/1 allin stays on one base and builds a ton of units before a gg push.

as soon as u are sure there won't be any clossi build only medivacs. So when u push 1t the 15 minutes mark (and about 150 food if there were no bigger engagements) u willl have about 6-8 medivacs.

try to skip the eBay/Armory in favor of a Ghost Academy after adding the 2. Factory and the 2&3 Rax. EMP is able to prevent (or at least reduce) Storms and Archons without shields are just cannonfodder.

Learn how to dodge storms:

1) by spreading ur MM and Hellion ball
2) and quickly moving out ur units if they get caught by a storm

Does anyone know about a guide similar to this for the other match-ups (TvZ TvT). Excellent work Warden. This has helped my TvP match-up tremendously. It's never been so easy to 1A into a protoss army and not lose for a change. =D

I'm afraid to say it's going to be difficult to 1-A in TvT most of the time, but maybe some sort of semi-mech or full-mech TvZ is what you're looking for.

I've been using this as my TvP Opener in about all my games. It has been proven to be very safe, and I've been able to defend Void-Gate and DT rushes quite well with them. The Gas and Nexus energy readings have also been invaluable.

However, I've been having trouble dealing with 1GateCore FE's. I have used the Thor-Marine-Banshee all in's versus this quite well a few times to punish Protoss fast expansions.

But the new trend of dealing with Terran 1-1-1 All-Ins seem to be using these fast FE builds itself, and a lot of the times they can mass a lot of Zealot-Immortal when their Obs see me have a fast Armoury down.
I usually push with my 2nd Thor and about 12 SCVS and maybe 16 Marines with Medivac or a Banshee for spotting highground. Although the maps that I lost using the Thor rush were a bit longer, and favoured defender's advantage.

I was wondering what do you suggest would be a safer alternative to dealing with 1GateCore FE. For instance should I drop an expansion myself and play a macro game?
I usually spot the Nexus dropping quite early since I park my first scouting SCV behind the mineral line. Most of the time Protoss doesn't scout the area well enough with their Stalkers to spot it.

I wouldn't gg just because you get dropped when you're in his base. If nothing else, Terran is the superior base-racing race due to our flying buildings. I'd have to see the replay to be sure, but a lot of the times if you have a bigger army you can just fly your stuff that can fly, pull your scvs, and kill his base. Other times, you can stall and get a bunker up in your base, or defend with your reinforcement units.

I would say you don't need to get a starport if you see a 1 gate expand. You should see it with your scv, which will happen before you drop your starport. Time is of the essence. The longer you wait, the more units he will have. Attack with your first thor and whatever marines you have. Bring most of your scvs. Use marines to take down immortal shields asap.

You can play a macro game, but I believe you'll be behind.

Does anyone have any newer replays of this strat on a high-ish level? (high masters or GM) would like to see how it works but Wardens reps are quite old by now

Can a 1 rax 1 fact FE keep up with the gate core FE? It seems that with the immortal buffs, etc, and the longer rush distances on today's maps, perhaps the Thor all-in should be replaced with the delayed starport deathball.
