Making rax as you go slows this down cause of scvs not mining. When all rax build, you can support constant pump and depot and scv production. Banelings a prob, but good micro still wins it for me  Just wanted to share this all-in cause I haven't seen this build from anyone else yet, and I can't seem to lose! | ||

It really punishes people who don't know exactly what they're doing because of the ease at which you can macro all of those marines up. That said, eventually you'll hit this ceiling where mass marines just won't cut it anymore. Usually that ceiling happens at about the mid diamond level (I'm assuming you're in a relatively mediocre diamond league, but if you're not then I'm sorry). | ||

If they dont see it coming or attempt any sort of fast tech(voidrays etc) they wont have the gas for sentries and megaraxing will usually kill them, but if you scout it it should be quite easy to stop | ||

There are a couple methods to block this build, sure, but it's just a possible idea for those looking for terran build ideas. Gotta give him balls for posting in a forum usually dominated by, "UNLESS IT'S MY BUILD IT'S NOT UBER OR EFFECTIVE BECAUSE YOUR DIVISION IS NOOB!" type of players.  No build is the uber and a lot of Terran builds will get frustrated by a FF'ed choke. This is just a new idea on the theme of All-in-Marine. | ||

People on here just don't like ideas that aren't their own to the point of having to try and prove every hole in someone's strategy. Everyone seems to want to show the superiority of their own builds. | ||

No one outside of Blizzard, and I’d argue no one on the inside either, has a definite answer for every strategy related question for SC2. This game has not been tested out in every detail to the death like BW has. Thus it is extremely important that you back up everything with sound reasoning, a replay, a VOD, anything that supports the point you are making. Your word is not enough - you know just as little about the game as everybody else. Replays please? | ||

As far as dealing with blocked chokes, how does anything deal with them? If you're ranged, you shoot them. | ||

1.) You execute properly 2.) Your opponent fails to scout your build 3.) You are not playing the same people Thankfully for you the ladder population is large enough that the odds of you playing the same person twice in a single sitting is pretty small. However a build like this will not make you a better player. If your goal was to get Rank 1 diamond then obviously you were successful, but once you start playing higher calibur players regularly this strat will start to lose its luster. Disclaimer: Don't take this post as a bash on all-ins or rushing. They are part of the game and doing the unexpected is a great way to catch your opponent off guard and snag an easy win. However this shouldn't be the ONLY build you use if you want to improve as player. Edit: Did he say it was "Brilliant"? Did he say it "can't be scouted"? People on here just don't like ideas that aren't their own to the point of having to try and prove every hole in someone's strategy. Everyone seems to want to show the superiority of their own builds. The problem is that it's an all-in rush build, and thus by definition it's going to be fairly simplistic (there isn't enough going on that early in the game for a BO to be complex). It doesn't take a SC2 genius to figure out if you go mass T1 and it goes unscouted you have a pretty good shot at winning the game. The reason people are taking a negative view of the strat is because it's not much different than 6-pooling or cannon rushing someone. They are out there and viable strats, but I don't think they deserve a thread. Especially when the orginal poster acts like he came up with a new/original idea. | ||

Guardian shields completely just almost cuts their damage in half, and colossus will burn that away if you don't have marauders and tech labs in the mix. 2 Gate > Expo > Robo Would be nice | ||
