Ok I wrote that a little clumsy. Let me start over. CC first opening. I scout with the scv constructing the CC or with another scv around 15? When I arrive at enemy base. How should I react to different aggressive openings vs Z, T and P? | ||

You have to define whay aggressive means specifically. Is there gas? Is there an expo? What units do you see, where and what time do you see them? Is something being chronoboosted? Your restatement clarifies nothing, so the question cannot be answered accurately. | ||

If I scout no expo. And there is gas. | ||

Assuming he scouted your CC first it means 4g, so get 1-2 Bunkers behind your wall in your main (you will not be able to complete a Bunker at your natural in time on certain maps/positions if he sent his Zealot/Stalker and possibly a second Stalker to harass). | ||

When I play terran and someone does a drop, I can't really pull back and fight them very well. My army is rather immobile, I don't always have standing forces at my base, and I don't have any means of using static defense to kill ground targets (when they drop at my main or nat that is) What can I do to stop drops? | ||

A good emp could probably knock out 4-5 infestors from the battle, and possibly catch the zerg off guard because its not very popular. What are your guys' opinions on this? Gumiho vs Life showed that ghosts can be used very well with Bio.. With Code A/S level control and micro. The problem is that most players won't be able to use the composition effectively for it to be worthwhile. Bio tank or mech will simply yield better results for most. | ||

Easiest way is to build a turretring, but you cant really afford that in th midgame. Mostly i just put like 8Marines in my mine and split them equally up. Most of protoss/zerg/terrans get scared off pretty fast so its enough to scare them. | ||

I have just been promoted to platinum and i have found that every single TvT is a one base all in.. I usually open with a gas first BFH drop into expand at 5:20.. Is there any way of holding a 3rax MM all in? I just lose every single time to it.... http://drop.sc/293896 In this replay i got supply blocked  so i had to expand a little earlier but it didn't put the build that far behind, and i don't think it would have made a difference with his attack... | ||

Additionally I do not know what the different refinery timings give me. I see a lot of different variations of 1 rax gas, then 2 more rax after CC. And I see CC first, into 3 rax, then 2 gas. But I do not understand what the different gas timings can give me as for opportunities after the rax are down. If I want to go for 3 barracks with stim + medivac. What would be the most efficient way to get gas? 2 after 1 rax, 2 after 3 rax, 1 after rax, then another after 3rd rax is built? [NB! Given I want to expand before I move out] If anyone know about how much gas(number of refineries) needed to supply tank production, Double EB upgrading. Please tell me. I am trying to analyze a lot of replays. Either I am just too tired from studying anatomy all day. Or I can't understand sc2 economy-mechanics that well. | ||

You don't need to. There are diamond players with 50 apm. If you want to improve your apm non the less, work on your multitasking. Drops, cloaked ghosts or banshees, not as an opener, more during mid to late, or simply after your third is satisfied and you are opting for a fourth. (or play >35 games as zerg) This way your apm will improve on a useful way and sucessful harrasment will gain you little edges, additionally. | ||

I think you can only hit like 3 with an emp and if they have full energy it doesn't completely wipe their energy. I've tried using ghosts against infestors but the amount of ghosts and luck you need for them to pay off against 15+ infestors makes them really useless even if you do kill the infestors. | ||

Assuming you have time/resources to tech them Ghosts are more useful for Nuke harass than for EMP in direct confrontations because of Overseers + BLs preventing them from reaching Infestors. To hit EMPs you would generally need to flank with your Ghost squad but it's not always possible (no time to prepare said flank, or you're already cornered, etc.), not to mention the Infestor size issue, so Ghosts are mostly unreliable to deal with Infestors if BLs are nearby.

Position your BFHs in a concave on both sides of your Bunker, this way you will murder his Marines if he charges with Stim. BFH expands are a bit complicated to play; precise scouting and reactions are required against certain agressive openings, so I would suggest playing something else (safer and more forgiving) at your level.

Apm is not that relevant in SC2, just keep playing and improving and it should progressively rise.

One fully saturated Refinery = ~114 gas per minut, so ~228 gas per minut per saturated base. Constant Marauder production = 50 gas per minut. Constant Reaper production... Who produces Reapers constantly? But 66.6 gas per minut anyway. Constant Ghost production = 150 gas per minut. Constant Tank production = 166 gas per minut. Constant Thor production = 200 gas per minut. Constant Viking production out of a Reactor Starport = 214 gas per minut. Constant Medivac production out of a Reactor Starport = 285 gas per minut. Constant Banshee production = 100 gas per minut. Constant Raven production = 200 gas per minut. Constant BattleCruiser production = 200 gas per minut.

Given I want to expand before I move out] The most common thing is to get dual gas after 3 Barracks, both in TvT and TvP. In TvP you have the option to delay the second gas until ~6'05-6'15 using Bomber's variation of 1 rax expand. | ||
