I scout him seeing 1 rax no gas late enough to know there was no stim timing/111/other cheese comming good so I expect it to be 1 rax expo since he chase my probe away and put down a bunker at his natural, but what then happened surprised me. After my probe leaving he imidiatly throw down 2 more rax and pump marines to make a pretty sick attack at my expansion, all while taking his own expansion (he can do this since no gas). So I end up loosing my expand since I have to go up ramp and force field to keep him away (since that many marines are so imbalanced compared to how few units i have earlygame beause of 1gate expo) After that I was soo faar behind that I lost when he just did a random a-move derpderp push with 1 attack and stim. I am rank 1 Diamond player and I really cant see how to beat this. It doesnt matter if I poke in and try and see his expansion time since terrans can just derp and build it on highground. Marines are so inzanely costeffective earlygame so its pretty much done deal for my expansion when he does that and I am allready commited for 1gate expansion - even if I hold xel'naga towers and see it comming I cant produce enough units in time to hold it. What do I do? Btw the game was played on cloud kingdom. I might upload replay when I get home. Please help from people whos master only since im rank 1 diamond myself xD | ||

I always try to verify that there is a CC there, even if it costs me a zealot or a stalker. | ||

Is http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/1_Gate_FE_3_Gate_Pressure_(PvT) a good build to switch to? From my experience with this build at High Master level you can react in 2 ways to a 1 rax gasless expand, either transition into an all in or cut units. I like to do the latter. Just skip 1 or 2 Stalkers and get an earlier nexus, you should be able to prevent engineering bay block with the Zealot. Then just conteniue to CB out probes and you should be atleast equal on the eco. | ||
