I always hear things like this,

If people fast tech / rush you, the best thing you can do is to counter attack their base.

I just realise corrupter has 6 range

terran wall --> it's always there, try to go air harass, drop nydus play, drop play or map control play

1-2 zealot choke + stalkers or even cannons says hello.

or lol sentries

you're right. thought the 2nd upgrade is hive. LOL. blur me.

i was doing a ling rush the other day and this guy, instead of walling the choke point. he built forge and cannons near nexus. interesting, at least to me. 1st time i see this placement. end up i have to fall back.

its not uncommon if he dont know your race at the beginning (if you play random for example), or if he wants the slight economical advantage/better probe defense should he send out his army to not have anything to guard the choke/ramp

usually i'd go for infested terrans for canon walls. it just scares the shit out of protoss players.

and as for terran wall. i'd use broodlords. stick broodlings up their ass.

I'm surprised the Terran players didn't faceroll you with MMM or even MM+Thor combo before you get your broodlords.

I'm surprised you didn't just say "lol vikings derp"

MMM is faster than spamming vikings though. But yeah. lol viking derp.

ok.

i find it takes too long to reach broodlords, and their travel is so slow, so escorts are recommended.

i usually just go mutalisk. spam like 10 - 20 before going, and bring along some ground forces with that.

Cannons on mineral lines are pretty common now that I've see to counter muta harrasement

Is it me or blizzard adds Infestor just to troll with Collossus/Thor?

i actually do this kind of defensive placement a lot...
its somewhat the bisu build of sc1 where u have 1 cannon near ur nexus to cover ur mineral line and def with 1-2 zealots accordingly...
it is also safer vs baneling/ reapers/ 2gate openings...

terran players. nowadays use marauders to wall up the ramp... which makes baneling bust quite hard =(

actually i prefer zerg to play much more passive/ reactive style till ur mutas are up...
doesnt matter hw many thors he have as long as u can get the critical mass and learn to magic box...

i cant get the magic box right ... end up getting all the mutas killed.

Magic box only works against splash damages, dont use it on marines unless u have bunch of mutas. Otherwise u can group them and snipe units and makes them harder to snipe yours

can we still use the group sniping trick like in scbw?

i did thought of that.. but i didn't think it'l work just the same in sc2

ya u still can...
u need to micro ur mutas to bundle up and keep moving...
and u need a larger critical mass nw as they'll auto spread out...
so ur snipe must be 1-2 shot...

Yes and your APM will be insane if you tend to multitask~

wit the addition of queue commands, those are much easier nw =p
still u need i think 200apm at least LOl
