15:03 RT making his own dono noises

I don't understand the fuss about 2-Gate Troy. If Terrans were smart, they would immediatly realize how easy is to deal with it: First you kill the assimilators with SCVs; I mean after dealing with so many gas steals, they should be pretty efficiet at it. Then, you rush Ghosts, they fit through. You go mass Scans, mass cloack, kill all observers and nuke the Cannons. Observers are small units, so Ghots with their concussive damage type are basically hard counters for Observers. They can also Lockdown Observers, in which case they cannot reveal Ghosts anymore. Plus, as a surprise move, you can nuke the two assimilators in the enemy's base. They won't see it coming with all the Observers in Lockdown/dead. No wonder stupid Terran has issues without these simple steps... On a serios note, absolutely bonkers series, love me a nice Ruin vs Scan on a sunny sunday.

The game one dilemma is actually really interesting; I'd genuinely love to see pros practice trying to beat it and see if they can come up with a solution (i.e. T pro practices against a P pro for a few games, both knowing P will go proxy two gate every time). I was hoping we'd see more of this scenario during ASL for precisely that reason, but aside from one game (which P won ofc) I don't think any of the Protoss pros even went for proxy two gate. If Scan had to replay that game again, for example, I wonder what he'd do differently to increase his odds of winning.

20:30. two vollies from 4 goliaths kills a shuttle you silly goose.

Hey guys nice to meet you. I haven't played forever but in the beginning of the first game when the zealot attacked the assimilator couldn't scan build a bunker between the assimilators do both protect and block the path? I am talking about 4:55 minute mark exactly

Seems like Terran has to hold the gap between the assimilators. If Protoss can run zealots through, then the marines have to kite away into the main, which gives the Protoss space to kill the assimilators. Is there a zealot-tight configuration with barracks or depot or bunker against the assimilators? If so, you're done. Just hide behind your wall shooting zealots. If that doesn't exist, then you could still: - Build a non-tight wall at the gap so that zealots can only come through one at a time. Then plug that hole with an SCV and a couple more SCVs to heal it. - Or build a bunker at the assimilators so that your marines can't be bullied away. (You'll still have to split off some marines to fight zealots that go for your mineral line, though.) - Or jam an excessive number of SCVs into the gap (5+) to clog up the zealots. My intuition is that if you stabilize the early part of the rush (first 1-3 zealots) and keep the gap clogged without losing marines, then your marines' focused DPS will quickly outscale the zealots in the choke.

Ай бұрын

That all comes down to timing. If it's a 2-Gate the bunker will be late and the zealots will just ignore the bunker unless if you full wall the ramp and this also drags your eco down since you're constantly producing marines for defense, instead of getting your Factories+add-on up sooner.

On the bottom positions, is there a possibility to build a barracks on top of the, in this case, leftmost assimilator? Does the marine spawn between?

Could Terran wall either in front of or behind the assimilators to prevent the zealots from getting in or killing the assimilators? (I don’t play so I don’t actually know).

Hey Artosis, do you think a bunker would work by the assimilators? I don't play Terran but can you wall off between them? I'd try that and maybe build the factory in the main and float it out. Even get sneaky and float it to the side and proxy vultures while scvs repair the bunker. Vultures are the best unit in the game against zealots and probes. Why not? Thanks as always!

I'm no pro.. but in game 1 What would you be able to pull a CVS and get a bunker up into the natural? Then produce factory units out of the natural?

They should add a blatantly terran favored map as well. The naturals should be fully wallable with just depot + barracks, and the 3rd/4rd/5th bases should have a tiny choke as their entrance, but the bases themselves should be in range of siege tanks positioned outside the chokepoint. Add lots of space for turrets in the minerals lines, and maybe a few neutral missile turrets to stave off mutas and shuttles in the early game, while terran is short on anti-air.

Damn what an amazing round of 8. And that’s not saying that the round of 16 wasn’t stellar as well. This is way more entertaining than ASL so far! 🔥

I skimmed some of the comments-aside from variation of creating a wall and using a bunker to try and fend off the zealots, I'd be curious if there's some way to actually try and block the proxy gateways from going up in the first place. A bit of an out-of-the-box idea perhaps, but like, if you know 2gate proxy is sooooo strong, and you know it's probably going to be center, could 1-2 SCVs sent to the middle with good timing make it so that the probe can't put the gateways down without sending another probe or two to cover? And if they can't put the gateway down in any kind of timely fashion, even if the Terran's income is terrible, they *should* be able to at least avoid an immediate loss against the zealots, no? Obviously this would fail greatly if the probe decides to proxy off-center, and leave the Terran at a significant disadvantage from lost mining time if the Protoss just 2gates at home (which should still be pretty strong), but if your ONLY goal is to stop proxy 2gate, it's not like the entire center is buildable terrain, right? so I feel like it's theoretically possible to mess with the warping in of the buildings. and if you now force them to respect that option, then maybe Protoss decides to only do 2gate in base, and that extra X seconds helps the Terran defend normally with a 2rax, or something. Turning it from "unwinnable" to "maybe if you get lucky AND outplay them you have a 20% chance", haha. I dunno tho, not a Terran player or a StarCraft expert, but I think as a fan it can be fun to think about theoreticals even if they aren't/end up not actually practical-it might not be often, but I think a number of modern ideas probably started off as theoreticals, albeit backed by actual skill and a foundation of fundamental knowledge.

He had time when the first 3 zealots were in his base and zealots had to leave the main base entirely due to marines in the barracks sim city to make a bunker near the assimilators. If he had done that and kept 2 scv's nearby to repair, terran keeps both assimilators at his entrance, doesnt lose marines, covers his production facilities and continues marine production and can pop marines out of bunker if zealots run by to cover mineral line at main base if they attack scv's mineral line.

the problem is where you're going to make the bunker, if you make it at natural zealot will just run by, if you make it inside they will all in and kill the assimilator and no amount of bunker can stop it, the bunker is only good at stopping the zealots from reaching your scv line, but all they have to do is destroying the assimilators and you'll lose eventually, once your main become an island the game is over, it's also 90% win for Protoss even with only one assimilator killed

You cant target with the marines in the bunker. In that case you just lose 2 potential marines and protoss only needs to have enough zealots to kill the assimilator while tanking the spread out damage. There was no way scan could have won, unless ruin fucks his game HARD (which wont happen to a player at his level). The objective of ruin was never attacking the actual base, but destroying the assimilators, that could only be prevented if you had the natural held (which is basically impossible with how fast the zealots came in) or you had a massive amount of marines, which was the idea behind what scan was doing.

Adding to ​ @mottiengnhat8921 : cannot repair bunkers until they make. please count out the 19 seconds when a bunker can complete and scv can't just get bopped midbuild. but also, you're talking like this is some all in, and not a pressure build.​ So I'll entertain that thought a little, what's the response for a pylon placed at ramp beyond your bunker range for cannon/shield batteries? or for softer transition, how are you going to stop ranged goons? reality is, protoss only needs to kill 1 assimilator to stop terran mech from passing through. There's no way to stop them when you get 1st scout, proxygated. Just 1st zealot brought the assim down to 1/4 hp before coming back with 3 then slipping inside to begin harass. even if he just used only those three zealots, the assim is dead if he just dived on it ignoring the bunker. 5 marines can't kill fast enough, become even worse if you load in bunker and they split targeting.

To go back into mech, you'd have to build factories out in the middle of the map or at another main... There might be a viable gameplan in there somewhere, but if there is, it's very different from the mech TvP that Terran uses on every other map.
