Do you still want reps? The early pressure also is nice cause in some of my reps when there wasnt a bunker right away it makes them unable to get a reactor or slows the reactor as they need the extra marines and cant wait for a reactor to build. Yes, post as many replays as you can please, it's always useful for everyone =) btw, in the case of a 1gate FE into robot, does someone knows at what time/probe number is it better to stop making probes ? | ||

ZvZ is what was mentioned as the coin toss ... what are the chances of two different races being a cointoss? Um,.. let me answer that, absolutely negligible. | ||

Two gas is just fine, you they go for a 2 port banshee you'll be needing three, but any standard 1/1/1 is survivable with 2 gas. The build is heavily focused on having a LOT of zealots and few stalker and only a couple sentrys. | ||

So what's a good response to cloaked banshees that are possible when a terran player goes 1/1/1? Puma attacked MC with a cloaked banshee before his push in his first IEM game. It seems like you can't really scout the research of scout so you are stuck either blind countering with some detection or you risk dying from cloaked banshee. If there are no detectors out, the loss mining time/loss of probes means you will not be able to hold the push at all since he'll reinforce much stronger than toss can with their wrecked economy. | ||

Is it fast enough to stop a cloaked banshee attack that usually comes before the 2 tank push? If you scout with your first two Phoenix, and see the Techlab researching, throw down a Robo. You're going to need mobile detection anyway if he actually gets Cloak, while a Forge and Cannons won't help you defend the push itself at all. You need to constantly check if he cancelled the Cloak too. If he does, you can cancel the Robo and continue making Gateway units and Phoenix, or you can let it finish and get 1-2 Immortals. Not entirely sure which is better in general, it depends on his specific unit mix. | ||

Nestea has adapted his play since that statement due to changes to the zerg race .. and i would cuss you out right now if i could cause you are trolling | ||

Spines and Bunkers are strictly superior at defending frontal attacks. You could argue that cannons are better for defending expos against harassment, but a PF with turrets is better at doing that too. They're also quite bad against Terran drops and Mutalisks. They're versatile enough for the constantly gas starved PvZ Toss to plant them at outlying expos, but don't see much play in PvP and TvP. My most recent piece of wisdom about Cannons, is that having 4 of them around the mineral line isn't enough to stop 4 Hellions from killing 20 Probes. | ||

Their advantage is their versatility; they shoot both air and ground, and detect. That's pretty much it. They can't be salvaged like bunkers, or moved like spines and spores, and they have less dps than any of the other true static D. Plus they can be depowered. They have their uses, but there's no way you can declare they're the best as if it's axiomatic. | ||

Observers cost very little minerals so if anything is destroyed it is your army and not your economy ... /or just build hallucination if you are to kewl for a robo bay You misread, did you read the whole post at all? Observer isn't going to wreck your economy. A cloaked banshee with no observer or cannons is going to wreck your economy. | ||
