It seems like, if nothing else, 1/1/1 can be fixed through maps. I wonder if the GSL is going to drop it's smaller maps soon. | ||

Would you still go for 1G expo if you suspected 1/1/1 but weren't sure? Maybe a gas steal is the safest solution like some people have suggested? I might go and test how much weaker it becomes if you still choose to go for it with a delayed gas. | ||

In what situation are Cloaked Banshees a guaranteed win vs typical 1/1/1 responses? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=250379 You don't need to take my word for it. Top gamers are giving their opinions left and right. No thread on TL is as valuable as the opinions of pros. While there are the obligatory public declarations of "everything is beatable" and "dont think about balance and just play" if you listen to their unguarded opinions on their streams and on the talk show streams the real picture comes into focus. 1/1/1 is simply too versatile and has too many extreme variables. The units involved are too efficient for cost to be dealt with evenly for toss so an exact counter is required. When these two factors combine the only reasonable courses of action are to "play the player" or play the safest possible builds. Sadly, the safest possible builds still can account for the huge variability of 1/1/1. | ||

Of course, it would decrease the amount of units you can pump out, which would be especially dangerous in the case of 2rax, but sentries only take 5 secs longer without WG, so maybe? Hallucinate can be researched in somewhat less than 1 minute when chrono boosted. Just theorycrafting here; I can see how it might be auto-loss if it sets you back too much. No the whole hallu first has been discussed on and off for a while and its been decided its not a good idea to do it right now. Plus it makes holding the 2 rax even harder to stop. Further, the obs has the benefit of helping you detect banshees should they come. | ||

Actually it could make the difference since a 15-nexus or 1 gate expo will be a bit safer against a possible 2-rax. (The scouting probe gets also 5 extra seconds in the Terran's base, but I don't know if that could help in some way) | ||

One of the issues is that it is extremely hard to hold if you know it's coming, but the other one was, to counter it you need to 15 nexus or 1gate expo, which can be scouted by terran which allows him to go 2rax or another rush build and own you? | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Hwangsin held off the 1/1/1 from Drewbie (ace match, last game) using a safe opener. He opened 1 gateway into robo, putting down another gateway soon. Hwangsin's Observer scouted the all-in and he immediately threw down 2 gateways and started pumping Immortals. He eventually expanded to his natural. Drewbie's push came and Hwangsin crushed it pretty hard. It's important to note that Drewbie didn't pull SCV's which made have been a factor but it's hard to say, Hwangsin's army was mostly Stalkers, Sentries and Immortal's so with the right forcefields the SCVs wouldn't be much use except to tank damage. | ||
