Q: What if I can't scout the Protoss tech? Whenever I try to scout, my overlord is killed before I really see anything significant. A: If you don't have any information on your opponent's tech and/or gate count through ling pokes and overlord scouting, the best response is blind spores around 6:30-7:00 coupled with roaches. This is basically saying "Protoss should only let you scout if he's really dumb, so you can't know for sure what he's doing anyway, especially because of proxy stuff, so build spores and roaches"? | ||

Then scout/sacrifice with 2 overlords at the same time. You WILL scout what he has. | ||

You CANNOT ALWAYS scout what the Protoss has. There are definitely ways to make this easier, but if you don't find out what's up, just start the spores and the roach warren just in case; you can always cancel the spores or not make roaches if you scout otherwise. SC2 is a game of imperfect information. You can't be 100% likely to scout everything in the Protoss's main and natural as well as spot all proxies, etc. You just can't always know for sure, so you have to make the best educated guess possible, and tweaking your build to be a little extra safe is not necessarily a bad thing (unless you're aiming for a very specific mid game timing). | ||

Thanks  .↑ Nailed, after the Book i started noticing more Toss Bullshit than usual, now it's time to recover some of these sweet ladder points, even when i know how to scout well and such it is always nice to have some hard numbers for this kind of thing. | ||

How do i differenciate it ? Just the number of warpin ? It's just for my information, because no build makes sense in gold a 4gate can hit you at a 11minute timing in my league / division at the moment :p | ||

What would be a "delayed gas timing" ?. If i don't see a second gaz and more than one gate i assume 4gate or something along the line. Immo, 3gate or something like that. So if i understood delayed gaz = - "No expo, more than one gate, no sentry" ?

Terran play hasn't really changed, we have 4M tvz, same tvp since wings, I guess the only thing would be the different aggressive openings for tvt, and Vader already has a post with some of those builds | ||

How do I make my opponent retarted enough to go with 4immortals, after roach burrow movement is done and with only 5sentries? :D On September 18 2014 22:02 Jer99 wrote: What do you have in mind?

It's a compendium for ladder players how to identify and defend certain allins that have been created in WoL or at the beginning of HotS. They surely could do something like that too for TvP. Not sure if they have the manpower for TvZ though.  | ||
