Hi,
I am a terran player, recently i play a tournament for gold below, my 2nd opponent just went 4 gate and sent observer in my base.

When i go 1/1/1 and drop my 2 tanks on his cliff, he push all his armies to my base. Cause the observer tells him all i have though i walled.

It is worth to spend a raven just to fence off that observer? Raven is so costly.
What is effective counter to 4 gate in a big map?
tanks is not working well cause by that time his zealot will have speed upgraded, taking my marines down together on splash damage.
I cant do a good timing attack considering a big map travel distance.
Any tips?

You doing polt timing attack ? He is making 4 gate, he should be able to wipe u clean cause he didnt go colossus and furthermore he can warp in units while your units have to travel all the way in a big map.

I own him with just 4 barrack stim marine rush in game 2 but in big map i just cant do that.
With that observer he knows what you have and even if you FE he will know and thus he can attack at that perfect timing. If i do make raven, i felt i wasted too much just to kill that tiny bee observer.

Meh, i guess MMM turtle expand mode is the only way

time to join the swarm....

drones rush.

The zerg : ASAP 12 drones with 2 extractor trick and rush to terran base. Surround the barrack scv and kill it then just kill all the other scv. Hardly any micro needed, just spam ctrl A.

My case: I cancel the barrack asap and group all my scv together and keep pumping scv and fight the drones. i lost >.>

Flying to a remote island is pointless too as i will win on harvester count and i can get muta much faster not to mention containment. Yes i tried that out too.

How to stop this? Superb micro?

NAh i dont scold ppl, i was in fact happy to get such cheese for the first time. Just cant figure out how to defence it. He rage a lot as i keep trying to rescue my command center dragging the game. Maybe he is farming the 1k 1v1 potrait

This happens on the 1st ladder map(the top one) the scouting scv actually does not meet the opponent >.>

When he attack, i actually cancelled my barrack to rescue the one scv and keep running my scv waiting for that one extra scv to come out for advantage, then go open space and left-A clicking with him. Yeah i lost and it was eyes opener

My friend rescue his barrack and lost 2 scv, when that one marine out, he is immediately dead and he is dead broke on minerals. I should have tried this on scrubie last nite

My scout did not meet those drones. It is the first ladder map on 1v1 and seems there is 2 route.
So any method to stop this? Do i lost on micro?

Ok i guess this is indeed imba cause even pro lose
Check the above video and u know exactly what happened to me >.>

attacking his base with my scv and lifting command center is not working. He just leave one drone to follow my base and i cant land the command center anymore unless i fly out.

Attacking his base is worse cause he can make more drones if he lost some and fight on creeps?

Tested but not so good. Best way is still run all scv to opne space and fight with him and micro to see who can surround who first.

yes it works, that if u press the space bar before other event happen like your base is under attack or stuff. so when u hear nuclear launch... press spacebar and find the red dot.
