1 base no gas - 4 rax 1 base 2 gas - 3 rax with x2 medivac production initially, one tech lab addon for stim and/or combat shields. Pure bio I am assuming, would be with stim or combat shields or why the fuck else would you have medivacs right 2 base 4 gas with no third - 12 marines/2 medivacs/ x2 upgrades 2 base with 4 gas with 3OC - 8 marines/2 mauraders/2 medivacs/x2 upgrades 3 bases with gas with no fourth - idk | ||

The original question is imprecise, certainly the 3,5,8 answer is correct but it is useful to explain in what situation. Firstly the typical order would be: 1 rax FE 3 rax Start 3rd CC 5 rax 3rd up and mining start 4th? 8 rax So this assumes a constant and reasonably fast rate of expansion, also this would typically assume double upgrades going the whole time. As others have said you can support far more rax, but this will cut into your expansion timings and upgrades. | ||

Also, I'm dying alot to 3/4 gate blink-stalker robo all-ins. I've tried lifting back into the main, bunkering up ramp, turreting against obs, but normally I still die. When I don't see the nexus I won't be 3 CCing, so my add-ons wll be reactor tech lab tech lab normally, with a priority on marine production. Any tips? <3 I'm afraid no replays  But if someone could provide a widely-agreed upon theoretical solution I would be happy as well  -Mid/High Masters | ||

It goes some thing like 12 rax 13 gas 1 marine then reactor, 8 marines reactor swap to factory, 4 hellions, vac and a cc somewhere in there. Anyone have a better idea of the build or a replay ? I've seen him go 12 rax 15 gas, 1 marine reactor cc then factory starport and marine hellion medivac drop? Is that the one you're talking about? | ||

Last time I tried to go 3 starport double reactor + naked, won an air battle but my economy was too crippled from losing my 3rd to a banshee timing then I got pushed with BC's and lost the 2nd air battle. Basically I never get into a good position to tell if what I am doing vs this style is correct cause in reality I'm already dead. I have never seen this style in a pro game so it has to have some pretty big flaw or timing vulnerability. | ||

It may not be quite as efficient, but it will get out slightly more marines slightly earlier, the priority is not dying! You can support a lot of rax when you have 3 OC, don't be afraid to delay your tech if you know 6/7/8 gate is coming. Do you 3 CC on all maps? You might find it safer to try alternative plays on certain maps. | ||

I have never seen this style in a pro game so it has to have some pretty big flaw or timing vulnerability. I think mass marine with little tank support is a good way to go, even though the guy has BFH there comes a stage (at least from my experience) where my hellions just get melted before they can do a lot of damage to massive numbers of marines. The times I have lost playing sky terran in TvT is normally down to mass marine, some tanks at bases to deny hellions and vikings/BCs But I'm only gold and I don't always get that far in this match up as I normally have won/lost after my 1/1/1 push ! Would be nice to hear some more answers | ||

http://drop.sc/262844 His variant is really good since it gets you the natural cc a lot earlier. Even though his drop did basically no damage, he got a strong econ advantage with the really fast third cc defended by tanks and turrets/sensor towers. Also I had no idea what he was doing because I didn't scout. Haha.... | ||

Pulling back into your main helps a lot on most maps. You need to prioritize getting marauders and stim out to hold this. | ||

Not a chance. People can barely hold it going 1 rax FE, or even some variations of 1-1-1. Only drop that 3rd CC if you see an early nexus | ||

I can do baneling split ok-ish but storm dodge is kinda impossible, I simply don't know how to dodge them since the cast time is instant. also how do you engage a templar colossus army? assuming his templars are a bit too far behind, do you stim in to pick off some units or hope your ghosts land some emps and then engage? Also since I switched from Z and P to T, my hotkey setup were quite simple and currently it kind of sucks. 1 for army 2 for barracks 3 for starports 4 for CCs So now that I am facing diamond players, I notice that I desperately need a control group for ghost alone because they walk a bit too fast, just like infestors while HTs I can have them along with main army because they move slower. I am used to spamming 2 and 4 so I need that to be fixed for rax and CC. I am considering to put both starports and barracks onto 2 and free up 3 for ghosts. Question is, what else would you recommend? (I play pure bio so usually only marauders and marines medivac, no need a seperate one for tanks etc, so my T hotkeys are really simple and easy to macro hard) | ||

I lose pretty much every single TvP as dealing with the Toss deathball with Colli and Templar is simply too much for my poor average APM of 100 to handle. Only TvP's I win is when they 4gate or do some other type of all-in which I manage to defend. TvZ is a bit more manageable but I struggle a lot trying to deal with Infestor/Brood Lord tech switch. All in all I feel the state of the game is very depressing really. meh. | ||
