feel nestea should have went for the surround with his drones faster, while popping up a sunken. just too many marines eventually came out. sad that strat's like that work at pro level's but guess thats just part of the current state of the game.

Nice.


On that map most of the pros go hatch first, because it's so T favored they have to take the risk.

people who keep talking about 'hatch first' really don't have a clue.. 2 rax constant marines dominates pool first so bad because there's only so few larve off 1 hatch untill after the first queen inject...the marines can just push you back non stop till that first inject finishes and you are in danger of being bunker blocked

not to mention you have to blindly make ~20 lings in that case so if terran just stops after 5 mariens and puts down a CC you are economically fucked

nestea fucked up his drone/ling control pretty bad there but hatch first is the only choice really...hency why steppes is auto loss vs terran, im sure nestea expected to lose set 2

Really, why hatch first on steppes?

Because if you went pool first, you're even more screwed if you get bunker wall-inned. At least with hatch first, you get creep spread and a unit production building outside the wall-in.

You can't the marines/scv come too early for a spine to pop out at all.


I think the spine will be close to finnished when the marines / scv's arrive, no?

Three turrets next to the Factories could have helped him so much on Lost Temple. And building the three supply depots on the edge of the base is stupid versus Zerg, too.

Terrans really have no real uber good defensive macro Terran. I so want to see FlaSh in SC2 but I don't want to miss him in SC:BW either.

Because you CAN hold it and then you basically instant win. He just messed up getting a queen and no spines.

Ret and Idra said that 14 hatch, from their testing, is best against 2 rax. Something about not having enough larva and being blocked off by 2 bunkers or something.
Not going to choose sides on that one, but those guys aren't that bad at ZvT.

EDIT: And there you have it, straight from the master.

No, this has been stated over and over by pro players:

You need hatch first to keep up with the marine pressure production wise.

Why don't I see mass turrets anymore? Flash does it pretty often.

I really don't understand it either. Just ~1000 minerals and the mutalisk harrass is completely negated.

10 turrets can cover two bases well and if you research +1 range those mutas will never do anything.
