Yup, as long as you have 2 mines pop out b4 8:00, you may build starport on that reactor. But if you don't , you have to choose between skipping mines or put starport next to that reactor. In this case, I suggest the latter alternative. Skipping mines is too dangerous because by the time you have to start mines(hellions just pop), you have 0 scouting . 10s late on medivac(time need for switching addon) is not that big. Above all, if you are playing in a league where 10 sec on medivac timing is THAT IMPORTANT(Korean GM 100ish), then you would have mines ready at 8:00 every game. | ||

On overgrowth i pretty much use fast +1 into 13:30 all in. The matter is that in TvP you have to play reactionary. There's too much a protoss can do than zerg. | ||

I feel like it is safer to hold all ins The whole point of this build is to get freewins in the lategame by giving up your chances of defending a decent allin. From the OP: WARNING: DO NOT RELY ON THIS BUILD IN LOWER LEVEL, where your opponent may 1/2 base baneling bust/ roach ling all in w/o knowing you have a third. 8:00 baneling roach all in you are dead Without hellions/tanks/mines you are simply going to have problems against good baneling allins at that time. If you start comprimising this build however you should just play a normal 3CC with hellions instead which really can hold anything (but doesn't have a game winning midgame advantage over the zerg). | ||

Rax 3cc can defend any major all-ins, as I listed in the latter part of the guide. | ||

You will probably lose to most all ins and tech rushes. Unless the toss is very greedy, there is no reason to go gasless 3 base. You even need to prepare for all ins when you are building 3 rax instead of 3rd, imagine that with going earlier 3rd instead of 3 rax. I would only use gasless rax fe into 3rd when you know that your opponent is doing a greedy build (nexus first) | ||

If it is a rather large map like Frost or Deadwing and I have already commited at least to 1rax FE (or 14cc depending) and I can get a wall up so the Toss can't see what I'm doing behind it and I also scouted he went either Nexus first or Nexus after Gate. That is the only time I consider it. I wouldn't consider this a staple TvP but it can work as long as you can confirm many builds are not coming. It may be a tad more powerful now (last time I did it was in the Frost map pool era) now that Blink is nerfed. That was always what I'd lose to in general with this build. | ||

Toss have to wait a million years for its first nexus cannon. | ||

Feels like the 200/200 will be quite much stronger but not sure if it's worth it :S | ||

And if so is it worth building any thors to the 13:00-13:30 push? Feels like the 200/200 will be quite much stronger but not sure if it's worth it :S I do not think there is any version with delaying 8th rax for 2nd factory. There is a version where you get a fast 2nd factory after the 1st factory with techlab for blueflame (Bomber vs Revival) and you will have lots of hellions for gaining map control and getting damage done, but this will have delayed upgrades and less bio at 13:30. Also, getting such early 2nd factory will make you gas starved, delaying everything which costs gas (later medevacs, 2/2, marauders). I think the only time where you get your second factory would be after the 13:30 timing. Thors are worth building later on, but before the timing, it is just killing your gas, ESPECIALLY with blueflame. I would rather stick to this version without a second/third factory before 13:30. | ||
