As I begin to play on ICCUP, I have decided to generally use 1factcc or 1fact1port build in TvT. When i do go 1factport, should i go single wraith add tower and get cloak while pumping tanks? Ive seen several korean progamers use 1fact1port to great success and would like a general overview of how to play it out.

one great example of 1factport

hmm, TvT is always somewhat rock paper scissors in early game, so 1fact1port would do well in some games while other times it wont....
im interested in what others will say about this, for on iccup, the only way i can normally win against a decent T player, is by two port wraith.... But that's extremely fragile..
i should try the 1 port...

I usually go either 14 CC or 1fact 1 port build in TvT. When I 1f1p I build 2 wraiths to harras 2 min lines and then add control tower for dropships after expo.

Nice thing is that you can do your gas at 10 and barracks at 13. Then you have enough gas to do tank, siege and starport with wraith and cloack asap. You maybe have rax later but you get a lot of useful gas. Something like getting gas before pool in 2 hatch muta builds in ZvT.

it takes alot of micro, especially if they go 1fact port as well and it becomes an air micro wars
then cloaking and such introduce an element of luck into the game at the pro level.

2port fact is not a bad bo either if you can catch your opponent by surprise and take out enough scvs before turrets or goliaths appear, gaining the economic advantage

I don't seem to get good results with that build, as 8 rax or even a later rax in the middle can be very annoying.

another question that kind of applies to most TvT builds is do u guys often forward rax or place your rax very far from your main? i was on iccup and a player suggested i tried it... just seemed a lil risky and annoying if a scouting scv comes by and disrupts your rax timing

rax away b/c u are gonna lift it off anyways and it'll reach his base faster
if scv tries to disrupt it, u just send another scv to attack it. If this happens, its usually because he sent scv at like 12 or something and reached u when ur at like 14 pop or something like that. If u do 12r/12g, then ur eco boost will just be negated when u send another scv to atk it

You should do this when you can predict your opponent - when you are pretty sure he will play standard.

i think its a safe build, your gonna force you opponent to get gols or acad/ebay if you have cloack it also gives you additional scouting. just be careful against 2fac builds it can deny you or delay you from expanding.

addon before wraith and always get cloak unless you're 100% sure hes going fe

if you go wraith without cloak and he goes wraith with cloak its basically free loss. cloak also makes the wraith harass a billion times more effective, everyone gets an armory pretty quick with fe. they wont have the acad in time unless they know you're going wraith.

yes idra is right, wraith only is useless your initial marines can hold it for sometime while getting gols and when you get cloak their acad is already up. it also keeps your opponent in their base for sometime allowing you to get your siege up.
