Your expansion will only die if you take a bad engagement. Before medivacs come out, all you need to do is sit on top of your natural ramp and forcefield if he tries to go up (in which case you can actually get far ahead if he overcommits). Once medivacs are out, split your army - stalkers in the main & the rest at the front. Your expansion should basically never die at all. If it does you're pretty screwed though. The only thing that can get tricky is some kind of one 1 base attack. Just remember that because you're so far ahead in economy if they stay on 1 base, all you need to do is defend and th game is yours.

in my game though he attacked with 2-3 marauders (with conc) and 2-3 marines, while i still had only 2 stalkers and 2 sentries (zealot died before)....so i couldnt attack into that so he killed my expo

You made a mistake with the build if that's the case. MC's 1 gate FE shouldn't lose the expo to a 2 rax unless the guy pulls 12 scvs or something.

With Mc's 1gate FE your standing army should always be stronger than what a terran has at any point in time basically, that's the whole point of the build..

Also you shouldn't have 2 stalkers and 2 sentries only. Assuming you warped in the 2 sentries, you should have one more gateway ready for an extra zealot. That force can easily clean up that bio army.

The replay vs mvp in monk's thread is very, very good to study early game defense.

Did...did you just reply to someone's post in THREE MINUTES?
<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)

Two minutes now mothafucka. Dicking around on skype makes for fast replies.

edit: fuck just went to 3. Still pretty good though.

How do you deal with mass Corruptor Roach in the pre-BL time period? You need AOE to kill the roaches... Colo die so fast to the Corruptors and then the roaches tear up your stalker/immortal. If you go Templar, roaches just laugh and kill all your stuff anyway. I'm a bit frustrated about this. Top 8 Diamond Toss and just can't seem to beat this composition no matter what.

You should post a replay. If you have stalkers and immortals, with good forcefields, and blink you should not lose to roaches unless you are super behind in upgrades or get majorly flanked. .

Why do you need AOE to kill roaches? Just about anything kills roaches as long as you forcefield decently. If he maxes on pure roach corruptor, you should thank him profusely and then run him over.

if he goes roach corruptor you really only need aoe if you went the zealot heavy style in a wide open area. Like it was said above, you should post a replay.

Yeah, vs pure roach immortal/blink stalker (with 4-5 immortals) and good upgrades should do well.

Rain's mass stalker/immortal 3 base push is reaaally strong, I wonder if there's a replay or guide for it...

No that build chronos units exclusively vs gas openings. You would know if you had read monk's thread and watched the replays included.

Is it true that I can basically go all the way to plat only by having more units than my opponent?
I've heard that quite often now but somehow it never really works for me.
Because somehow I always get completely obliterated by mass marines/stim.. even if I have +1/+2 etc..

I'm bronze btw.

It's true that in the lower leagues the biggest factor holding someone back is macro, and until higher levels (diamond ish) many losses could be avoided simply by making "more stuff". Someone drastically better (say master) can beat a player in a lower league by making whatever unit composition simply because he will have more shit.

On the other hand, this doesn't mean you shouldn't practice builds at all. Following some basic guideline is important (for example, in PvT you should fast expand and then get some AoE up vs his bio).

so i would already have a sentry before transforming my gates?

Yes. I mean, you're not gonna win a game with mass zealots vs banshees, lol. But I could veeeeery likely beat any bronze terran with only zealots if he goes for standard MMM. And I don't consider myself to be very good

Korean 4 Gate? Proxy Gate? Prism drops into min line? Any of this executed by a Master's player would beat anything up to Gold consistently.

Any half decent master player will beat people in diamond and below doing pretty much anything.
