The goal of course is to try and keep all 5 reapers alive so you can one shot probes. If you want to turn it into an all in add a 2nd gas and add reactors on those raxes and stream a gazillion reapers. I saw a ladder game by a pro who just added more rax skipping reactor, After much though I agree with his use to build mass rax. Mass rax ensure mules are used to the maximum effect (extra minetals) and no down time to produce reapers, thus the extra gas can be used for upgrades and the eventual upgrade to 3-3 is up. He used the banked minerals for turrets and bunkers for vision ensuring pure reaper production which he was able to since he caught the Protoss on the back foot after losing key stalker numbers. | ||

Why are we even talking about eventual gas for 3-3 (I assume upgrades) on an all in? | ||

I always tend to float a little high since im double muling but if I try to squeeze in an add on I die because there's a huge hole in my production | ||

If you want to mass mass reapers as I am suggesting, you will need a 2nd gas so it's not like you have saving the minerals of having to build the 2nd gas. Why are we even talking about eventual gas for 3-3 (I assume upgrades) on an all in? Because in that game it wasn't a traditional "pull-all-the-SCVs!" all-in, it was more a "I'm throwing everything behind this unit composition" all-in, which Protoss have tons of. | ||

Besdies Demuslim and Avilo, I don't really see it that often among the top players, definitely not the Koreans. It delays your 3rd CC so much and if they decide to go banelings behind speedlings your supply depot wall doesn't stop anything anyway. But I don't know what the alternative is. I am talking about maps like Akilon, Newkirk, Whirlwind, Derelict, and Bel'shir of course which requires like 5 supply depots to wall off completely even with the bunker as part of your wall. Neoplanet and Starstation do not require much of a commitment to wall off. The main reason Demuslim and Avilo wall at 6 min (meaning they add 2 depots earlier than usual) is because they don't scout, it's a trade off). You can't not scout AND not wall at 6 min or you die to any kind of speeding pressure since you have two marines in a bunker and that's it. Baneling stuff shouldn't happen until a bit later when you have 2-4 hellions out that are scouting the map, so solid play will defend against that. edit: didn't realize this was already answered, my mistake, hope it still helps =] | ||

Saves atleast 1 depot (mapdependant) and the cc gives troops more time to shoot when there on the other side of the cc where the banelings roll in. Becuz a zerg will allways scout the 3rd anyway with an overlord. So why dont they use that 3rd CC as part of the wall until they need more depots? | ||

I don't think it fits on most maps unless you place the bunker weirdly, also although zergs will scout the 3rd cc at some point, the faster they do the greedier they can be. I also imagine that when you lift the 3rd cc rebuilding your wall is a bit awkward and leaves you exposed if only for a little bit. Might test this out on the current ladder maps though and see if it fits etc. | ||

If you're going 14 cc 15 rax 16 gas then the lings should arrive before your gas is finished. Cancel your gas and build an ebay to wall off behind the rax (which will die) http://imgur.com/DqpWwps Pull a couple of scvs to repair whatever needs repairing and make sure you're constantly constructing your cc. Don't forget to build a new rax when possible. The only thing you need to do when 6 pooled is survive, then you'll be ahead. Now continue on as normal and you should quickly win. | ||
