Dunno about good replay packs, but drop.sc has a lot of them. Try sc2rep.com for a lot of great single replays.

How do you deal with drops as protoss when you are maxed? I know you can leave 4-5 stalkers to take out a drop ship but i've been "doom dropped" with 3-4 drop ships before just as I move out. Also, if you leave templar and the feedback doesnt kill the drop ship, you're still screwed


If he has 3-4 drop ships full of units, your main army should be able to storm his main and destroy everything. The exception is if he has a large quantity of siege tanks defending.

Here's what I would do: Attack his main or expansions with your army, depending on what will do more damage. This will free up supply as units die. If you have a DT shrine, warp in DTs back at your base and try to split them a bit. Your opponent is going to have trouble focusing on the drop and your attack unless he's a very good player. This means he probably won't be up on his scans around his units and will lose a lot of his drop army. Meanwhile you should be winning the battle with your main army (since a huge chunk of his is at your base) and can hopefully wipe out enough expansions or production facilities to fall back and clean up before moving out again.

If you don't have a dt shrine, a few HT should be able to take out or seriously injure the dropships with feedback, followed by a well placed storm to finish them. Then a couple of warp in cycles of zealot (hopefully you have charge) and stalkers should at least buy you some time, if not take out a good portion of the drop army.

the odds of playing a Z player, at most levels, is about 1/3rd. The odds of this happening 7 times in a row is .33^7... that means that about one in every 2000 players has played, as their most recent matches, against 7 Z players consecutively. there are 2687 people logged into TL right now, which means there's 1 person on average for whom that's true.

you are that guy.

When you feel like being a terrible person? You can't exactly scout ahead of time to judge whether you're going to proxy, it's a between game decision. As for the build, I believe it's:
9pylon
10gate
10gate
zzeeeeeeaaaaalllloooottttttttsssss!!!!!!

Something like that.

Send all probes to mine minerals. As first probe returns minerals, send it to immediately build the proxy pylon. You'll make 10 probes and chrono the 9nth! Once the Pylon finishes, place two gateways, and resume probe production. Be sure to have 200 minerals once the gateways finish! Order two Zealots immediately, followed by another Pylon and a probe or two. Attack with 3-4 Zealots.

Your post so motivated me that I created a guide on how to proxy 2gate in PvP. I hope you enjoy it! I made it on my livestream. Here's a link to the video:

In lategame PvZ when Zerg gets both broodlords and infestors, i have seen grubby add phoenixes rather than void rays to beat the broods a couple of times. How viable is it? Phoenixes won't be as good as voids to protect colossi from void rays, but are they that much worse vs broodlords?

Hey there,
two short question about Terra.
How does the drop work, where the medivac keeps on flying, but it's even dropping. Sometimes i saw they also maneuver it during a drop.
Second: How does it work to give tanks a siege and unsiege commando into your shift-course?
I`ve tried to figure it out by myself (shift, d, e, shift, a) but it didnt work for me

The drop ship technique is accomplished one of 2 ways. either click on each unit portrait in the bottom reticule (the inefficient way) or press the drop hotkey and click on the medivac. It will drop while it moves along.

Not sure about tanks, it just works for me.
In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice, they are not

Hold down shift and the siege/unsiege key.

This makes no sense...

For the tanks:

step 1: hit unseige (D),
step 2: hold Shift and...
step 3: move-click (right click) to where you want the tank to reposition to
step 4: hit E.

so you have to hold shift AFTER you unseige (actually while unsieging, just after you've hit the unsiege key).

Hope this makes sense.

Edit: For dropping, make sure the Medivac is moving (say, behind the mineral lines or into the base). Then, while it's moving, simply press 'D' and then select the dropship instead of a point on the ground. The medivac will continue to move, and drop its units in motion.
For multiple, have all of them selected and on move command. Then hit 'D' and click on a dropship. 'D'-click on each individual dropship as fast as you can.

Hi, thank you very much. Makes much sense and i didn't know the "after unsiege" thing!
Have to try it!
Medvac prob, im not quite sure. I believe i had tried this in that way multiple times, but didn't work out for me. I will test it again!
