I've thought about purchasing Hallucinate for scouting. | ||

That's only true if you heavily commit to sentry/immortal without scouting. If you make an observer right away and check them out, you can just take the third and prepare for muta like normal. It's not so much that the build is bad, just that the players who do it usually are terrible and don't bother to scout, so they die to mutas, whereas stargate (~4-5 phoenix) into a third genius style is safe against anything so it looks stronger because it's easier to do. | ||

Id like to say that this works like a dream its a little hard with continuous pressure but its just amazing. Heres a replay, this is pretty much how it goes every game its always close but with good macro/micro its pretty insane.

Some zerg did and i just couldnt survive (or i lost 1 or 2 nexus). well, reading the guide, doing this build and then just macroing will defeat any 200 roach supply @ min 12 On June 15 2012 09:08 BronzeKnee wrote: This is also the problem I have with this build when taking a third.

I've thought about purchasing Hallucinate for scouting. it s a lot about gamesense and good scouting you need to understand what the zerg should be doing, could do, and is doing then you understand it it s all about seeing him droning or making units, seeing how much gases he has and knowing whether he s building defensive buildings like spines it s not easy, but if you get better you will know that your opponent is hidding tech On June 15 2012 09:51 oOOoOphidian wrote: That's only true if you heavily commit to sentry/immortal without scouting.

I have been doing this style of fast third for a while now, and it seems to always straight up lose to that kind of build. yep i play vs liquid haypro why did i get that he was dropping? no tech, not a lot of units( he was hidding them) and i saw his overlords and some units moving to the right i also could have assumed that he was going for a hidden spire, but i saw that he was making roaches and double evo chamber http://drop.sc/198298 | ||

No upgrades, just pure 200/200 roach ling drop into the main. Its fine if I scout it, but if it happens without me intercepting it I will lose all of my main, and most of my army if I they can take position above my ramp before I can react. | ||

In the games i watched i felt like you just gambled in all of them :/... besides, i don't even think you should be getting an observer. I've been experimenting a lot since I last posted and it's WAY better to just skip the observer and get halucination. It's faster and it doesn't take up your immortal production time. In addition you can create like 1 collossi or 1 voidray to mess with your opponent ^^. | ||

I'm pretty sure the second guy was responding to the guy who posted directly before him (the first quote), he just didn't quote; I'm sure he did read the OP and knew it wasn't a 1 base, he was just making a joke. The chronology is right, at least . . . | ||

and even if you can wall off certain areas, building toomany gateways will hurt the number of units you have. If they hit you early its really hard to maintain constant production and avoid trading units. | ||

Like Tefel than you can scout it and react as usual this guide is just about securing the expansion, there is no hydra timing that can kill you at minute 7.30 everything later is a standart macro game and btw tefel opens with gas and 2 base with an 7 minute 3. base this guide is against gasless 3 base openings | ||

I watched the replay specifically for your reaction to his muta's and there was no reaction. You blindly placed down two stargates. In fact, you're observer hadn't even seen that he had gotten lair before you started placing down stargates(according to your vision). What I'm saying is, if he had gone for stephano roach on 3 base, I don't see how you could have survived after wasting 300/300 on infastructure that you weren't going to use. Perhaps this is just a variation of how to open with this build and you create voidrays to deal with the roach pressure? I don't know, but I didn't see this type of transition in the other games so i can only assume that it was a coin flip. Don't tell me you saw his 6 gases and then realized it was spire. I haven't seen your guides before, but i'm not one to just assume you're correct. If you're not even scouting and reacting to what your opponents do and instead flipping a coin I don't see how we can take this guide seriously. Although, i'm sure you have a really good answer for what you did. You just haven't told us yet, right ? | ||

I don't think you read what he wrote perfectly. He's saying that he was suspicious (people can get suspicious feelings w/o scouting perfectly, that's how stephano plays--instinctual style), so he threw down 2x stargates and then when he knew for certain hidden spire, he didn't CANCEL them. If he saw something else he would have cancelled them and then it would have been 74/74 wasted, not 300/300. | ||

If he saw something else he would have cancelled them and then it would have been 74/74 wasted, not 300/300. right, so he had intuition, so lets say he's making a 60% gamble instead of a 50% gamble. Either way he's not telling us what gave him this intuition, if he did which is what i would like to know about then it would make sense. As it is, throwing up 300/300 not 74/74... is resources not getting put into most importantly, sentries and immortals but also stalkers is a huge investment and there is no way that I see him holding a strong stephano roach type attack. Besides, this is a guide, telling us 'o, you should react on intuition if he's going muta or roach' isn't helping anyone. I can tell bronze players that they're bad as much as I want but until I show them what they are doing wrong and how to improve it isn't really going to help now is it? On top of this, there are infestor roach builds that will take 6 gasses, so I don't see how him scouting 6 gas tells him for sure that it is spire anyways not that he scouted that in the first place. edit: on your stephano point, you'll notice idra stating how bad of a teacher stephano is. 'the only way you can learn from stephano is by watching him'. I don't see how this point validates anything in his guide. | ||
