Don't know enough about SC2 to say whether or not it really works in SC2 though. The correct way to handle it is to have good bunker placement imo. | ||

I wouldn't be surprised if Rain encountered this exact type of proxy many times and successfully defended it with the gas+tech lab build he did. It is very plausible that he has encountered something like 8 pylon 9 gateway, defended it best with the gas+tech lab, and decided to do this. However, as was mentioned earlier in the thread, MC went 7 pylon 8 gateway, which could potentially turn a good response by Rain into a disaster. Pretty weird timing. I'd be surprised if any of you have ever played against that before, or even thought that could be a good idea. Basically, you can say "getting gas is a bad response" all you want, but unless you've actually tested various builds against top level players you're basically just making random ass guesses. | ||

Don't listen to noobs saying to attack the pylon/gates with your workers, tasteless and artosis know what they're talking about. What you suggest might work, but it's still very difficult when Protoss is producing Zealots at the same rate that you are producing marines, I don't know if you're actually playing the game or just watch a lot and blindly accept everything that Tasteless and Artosis say as the undeniable truth. I for one have faced proxy gate cheese on SoW multiple times in ladder, though maybe not this particular one that MC was doing, and each and everytime I defended it comfortably by sending 3-4 SCVs to kill of the pylon. Believe me or not, it does work. | ||

Tasteless and Artosis are obviously so tired of hearing dumb people that they actually took a full minute going out of their way to explain to you that attacking buildings with scvs is not a good idea but I come to this thread and half the posts are saying he should have attacked with his SCVs.

It works. Also, you should 2rax marine instead of getting gas. | ||

I mean, he's the one that did the strat that could have been beaten by the low level diamond player you are talking about? I'm pretty sure he wasn't thinking that the one gate would win him the game. He prolly just wanted to get an advantage and had a transition planned. | ||

NOPE, Maynard Gate. If you don't get the reference, don't bother. Its not worth your time to look it up. But it is definitely a Maynard gate. | ||

I'm also curious about how Rain could have actually stopped it. 6 range from a bunker isn't enough to cover everything (although putting it in the mineral line would have been a bit better coverage), and regenerating shields means you can back out of bunker range repeatedly. Against MC's micro it seem really hard to stop in time unless you preemptively make an early depot/rax My thoughts are maybe use scvs earlier to block/stall the gateway drop (2-3 might have worked?), and maybe micro or use auto-repair to keep scvs topped off | ||

I would have never ever wanted to hurt myself reading TL's comments like 6 months ago, even though sometimes comments on live reports were so bad. But today, with all those non-players pros that think they figured the game out who are really getting on my nerves, I'll probably have to stop reading those kind of threads just in order to preserve my sanity. what is that icon? it's not and Archon wait, is it Dark Archon?
