Thanks for the write up. Excellent breakdown of the build and analysis.

Somebody please explain to me why DT's against Terran is viable. Because whenever I attack with mine they just get scanned and destroyed on the spot (mind you I am in a low league). Is it because higher level Terrans spend all their Orbital energy on mules, therefore having nothing left for scans?


did you read the op ? there is specified a couple of reasons why it works .

it works cuz you contain terran and invest in tech/upgrades without any risks .

and for a low level understanding : even if he does have scans , he will be scarry to leave his base + 1 scan costs 300 minerals . so even if he scans and you killed nothing , you still break even .


A Scan does not COST minerals, how many people get that wrong is disgusting.
A scan is worth it to kill an Observer, you think you break even when losing a DT? Dark Shrine may be cheap but if you don't do any damage you are way way behind.

Also, at least on EU, getting a fast Reaper seems to be standard right now, that makes this BO terrible, late Stalker and early tech combined mean that Terran will know exactly what is up, making 2 or 3 Missile Turrets means you do nothing..


Sure it does.

I just think you definition of cost is wrong.

i wish there was something for terran. all these strategy pieces are for Protoss or Zerg. they are great, but terran players can't do much with them.

Why isn't there a place where we can find those awesome guides made by TLStrategy in the forum? After a few weeks, they disappear under a ton of new, less interesting posts. Isn't it possible to make them sticky or have a place where they are easily accessible on TL?


Well this is just a game analysis rather than a full on guide. I have links to every article i've written in my profile, and many other blues too. That's a good point though i guess it'd be nice to have all the "strat talk" type stuff somewhere. I'll add them to recommened threads.

Glon's and Blade's guides are both in the recommended thread section.

Also, I'm workin' on that. More to come whenever it is I finish.

Without the Mothership core it is a lot more risky.

I just tried this build.
My drop came just before his.
DT defense rules.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

What do you normally do against a terran who opens reapers? The mscore itself can't prevent the reaper from scouting your base assuming the terran is at all careful- you can throw down the robo in plain sight of the reaper but not the twilight council since it'll be a dead give-away. (At high masters if its any help)


reaper typically comes before your tech buildings are down, so you can change tack before you are committed to both Robo and Citadel tech (it's reasonably close to a MSC/sentry expand with robo fast if you don't make the citadel). No idea how it would play out at pro level ^_^

This is the one thing the article didn't touch on I wish it did. The map is a huge part of why you can do the build, because reapers are far less likely on a map that is so long and has all its jumpable cliffs right at the ramp. Akilon would be okay too, but I wouldn't try it on Planet S.


I wrote some map analysis but monk didn't like it T_T

T_T damn you monk! *shakes fist*

What's the point of focusing on these risky cheesy EZ-win mode meta-builds with no scout..

isnt this supposed to be strategic?


Exploiting the metagame is a good strategy in my eyes.

Why would you need to drop dts if you can get them out quicker and just walk up the guy's ramp? Most terran players don't even have detection a lot of the time. If he turrets at his front, what makes it so hard to just put up turrets in your main?
