Make 2 Immortals in a Warp Prism and send it over (start warp prism first because you won't have gas). Drop the Immortals, snipe the spore, warp in 4 DTs, kill everything in his main. Then add a Colossus den and expand. Works in Diamond :p EDIT - Works against Terran too. Snipe Turret, then tech labs, then reactors. Then go for worker kills. With some micro he runs out of scans pretty fast. That sounds like pure fun haha. 100% awesome and 100% dirty. | ||

Maps like Shakuras and Metal are so tight, the Ts/Ps I meet there are all comfortable just sitting behind tanks and Colossi and bunker up unbeatable air armies. You need like 10tanks to shut down infinite supply of Swarm Hosts, which leaves 170supply for Ravens... And on those maps I can't take bases on their side and mine them out. | ||

It's pretty bullshit, but I've been using mass nydus worms that have been working well. Just plant them all over in the back of their bases and stream out tons of cracklings. Slightly gimmicky, but the ravens aren't exactly great at stopping nydus worms from popping. Make sure to get burrow. Of course, this only when you have stalemates and a shit ton of money but can't really do anything else, and know if you don't do something soon, you'll lose in the long run. | ||

What rax at what time, when/what prompts you to expand? That sounds pretty cool though. Personally I've been having success with 12/14 rax w/ one gas for quick concussive shell and pushing out with 1 marauder and 5 marines, with more rallied behind. Stalkers are so horrible vs concussive shell marauder and zealots literally can't touch my tiny army. Photon overcharge can be a problem though occasionally. | ||

Haha. my personal take on the build is with the proxied second rax. More cheesy and risky, more fun. And he's in for a serious surprise if he pushes with his stalker and get backstabbed by a sudden marauder when he retreats :D | ||

Heh, I thought the same thing. It's not like they removed the MSC, which neutered this build pretty hard..... | ||

After orbitals and 32 scvs, you just add more marines depots and raxes as minerals allow. Move out after deflecting their opening, i get blind turrets anyway just cuz i have so much minerals. If its oracle, robo or dts he is flatout dead, if its blink you migh consider adding gasses as he will be trading very eficiently. If no early shenanigan has happened, move out around 7 min with 12-15 marines rally all your rax until he is dead. This is mostly plat btw, altho I've seen this awfull lot of times from Bomber on stream when hes in it for fun | ||

What I don't understand though is if you have "so many minerals" why wouldn't you just get even more raxes? :o | ||

Think it like a 12 min Stephano max out, you sacrifice tech to get lots and lots of supply in marines. About oracles, they become less and less effective as grow in numbers, it takes 5 marines to deal with a single oracle but only 9 for 2 oracles and so on. Even if it didn't, protoss will never be able to match your production rate. | ||
