I'm always happy if I see roaches as Terran. I just follow Idra's advice and go for a marine, marauder and tank push off 2 bases and that almost always kills em. | ||

At that point you block the ramp with your queens, transfer all drones to the main and make as many roaches as you can and you're fine. If you already have a roach warren down it's not /too/ hard to stop. Still takes some finesse but it's beatable. | ||

It's also a buildorder loss if the zerg responds to hellions with roaches (and especially roach pressure). Really big gamble and nice series variation by MKP. | ||
