how does a terran tailor his build against a backdoor rock immortal allin?

So guys
if Drogo wins this :
-The 3 French players have a combined record of 6-1 in series (12-3 or 12-4 depending on Drogo's score in maps) ; which is 85% (80 or 75%).
-The Koreans have a combined record of 13-9 in series (30/31 - 23 in maps) ; which is 59% (~57%).
Educated conclusion :
France > Korea
Such an educated post.

He also forgot to mention that France is currently 6-3 head to head vs Korea today so it is impossible for them to finish with a worse record even if drogo loses 0-2
double confirms France > Korea

Considering the backdoor opens on the natural and not on the main, not taking the inbase nat as a second base and not putting your production near that area sounds a good start. I'm no expert on Terran builds though. But if TaiLs managed to beat mine drop with a hyper-precise DT build I'm pretty sure an equivalent immo all-in snipe build could exist.

The main doesn't have a lot of space for production but it'd work. Thing is, if the Protoss goes almost anything else than an immortal bust your out of place natural probably screws you over.
