What do you think is the best counter to a 1 fact exping terran?

I think 2 port wraiths followed up with tankdrop is good, but often you end up with 2 facts (+starport) when you spot his cc.

Any thoughts?

On LT, I think what works well against fast expo(its beatiful if you know ahead of time, but still is ok if you see it early on already functioning) is to drop the cliff with ~3 tanks and ~2 scvs hopefully before your enemy even settles in, and then simply siege+turret his cliff. Even if he already has begun mining and has tanks, usually people have about 2 of em, so you just use 1 SCV as bait and then siege on high ground(well You don't even really have to sacrifice the scv) and you should kick him out of expo. 3 tanks can handle quite a lot of ground units from high ground, so if one dies, just bring 1 or two more.

It will often work because fast expansion does not allow one who is doing it to have many units to attack early (while most of your units are on your enemy's cliff) and if he does, he can't possibly mount large scale attack.

Just use 1 dropship to ferry the units up the cliff. Maybe send the extra units to a place near his cliff before you do this so it goes faster.

Another build order that counters this, IMO, is 2 factories --> armory ---> starport. Make a tank before acad arrives, then 2 golies, and 2 more tanks, and 2 dropships(one after another) in the starport. Get siege before dropping your enemy and then drop his main. You'll be spending every cent but it can be done fast. OF course this is a very specific build order, an opening you can say, and may not suit your style.


Anyway, that's my input.

Good luck

fac cc isnt a particularly good build in tvt on most maps, if u scout it and u went 2 fac with port, check to see if he makes ebay, if he doesnt u can gol harass him and slow him alot, if he does just expo asap and contain him and turret some of the map for scout, u shouldnt lose

How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano
