Any macro build has within them designs to hold off early game aggression because there's no point in going macro if you just straight up die to some early game aggression or all in every time, and because of that, because of the exponential rewards of going macro, the person who goes macro and gets "more stuff" and holds off that all in has basically won right then and there. Unless the other player was Protoss of course. User was warned for this post | ||

I'm hitting the timings correctly too. I think I'll stick to my normal vs terran lol | ||

If you could find a way to make 3 pylons in your main and still proxy the stargate at the same time (i guess by sending out the probe later and maybe cutting a couple of probes?) it would be a good deal harder to scout. Yes i guess you could cut 2 probes and overbuild 1 pylon, so that it would feel normal when terran scouts it. I am wondering thou, if just a normal 4-gate wouldnt be more effective build to use, simply because you could fake a 1-gate expand, and build 3 more gates when reaper leaves? | ||

Every time my oracle comes in they either have a widow mine in mineral line already that one shots the oracle or a missle turret and plenty of marines. From there they just make mines/marine/viking/turret/bunker and hold the all in easily I'm hitting the timings correctly too. I think I'll stick to my normal vs terran lol This sounds silly but perhaps do a gas-first variant of the build. Most Terrans don't bother clicking on your gas geysers and not many people could tell what the timing of a regular core finishes. They might even ebay block you when they see only 1 gas, then its pretty much a win. | ||

Gas first sounds reasonable though. | ||

"Warning: The last post in this thread is over three months old. If you bump this, you'd better have a good reason!" (c) I really have a good reason! I'm russian speaking streamer/content maker , but i can speak english too (not perfect though)| So i decided to try REINCARNATION of this awesome book with my LOTV-Edition cheeses. You know, SC2 become such a pizza...we need to spread cheese on it! I'm droping guides of cool cheese builds that work at least in highMaster - lowGM level, but some of them is taken and maybe reworked from 6k+ players. Hope you'll enjoy. My guide on YOUTUBE And replays: Standart way this build goes most of the time vs GM/ML https://lotv.spawningtool.com/54068/ https://lotv.spawningtool.com/54067/ And this guy managed to defend. So allin transition https://lotv.spawningtool.com/54072/ | ||
