Hmm I'm actually not sure why.
Saw it in one replay where the caster said that as the terran was against zerg.

As he went straight to starports and only 1 rax, chances are low that he is going bio ball.
You'll probably either see 2 factories or 2 starports coming next according to what he scouted on you.

It is mech because it is all going to be mechanical units I think.
You may have to check with a terran pro.
I'm more of a protoss player.

just now i won a game on a protoss, he drop pylon in my base and then a gateway, i pretend i didnt see it, 10 pool and get a spine crawler then keep making zergling and overpower him, then i tech to mutas and end the game. was kind of fun when u pretend u dont know enemy got a probe in your base =)

the creep definitely helped to keep the gateway/pylon distanced.

Haha that's a really bad tactic to use against zerg especially when you can pool early and nothing he can do to stop your zerglings swarming him down.
He was really asking for it. It works best against protoss and nice also against terran. Even though terran can lift and land somewhere else, the protoss player already denied his economy for that amount of time to lift and land.

You can also just keep going lings and rushing into his base and destroy everything.
The ling rush part happened to me. Could not really contain him and I got overwhelmed later in the game as he kept harassing my expansion when we were both really low on resources. The ling part was actually at the beginning and at the end. He did go hydralisk in the middle but I think he gave up on it after meeting my phoenix army. If you want I can post the replay for you to see how he played with his speedlings. He was quite good at using them to harass non-stop.

checked the replay, his economy is about the same as mine, he only have 1 gateway in my base thus cant really spend so much in making zealots, so his zealot production rate is much slower than i can produce zerglings, even with crono.

See what happened when you are not scouting, he is quite a mediocre player, problem is that I am worse...

Dont laugh at me lol

Ah...
Think he probably should have gone 2 gate.
But then, if he go and proxy like that. His base would be totally open for attacks...
That's the worst risk to take against a zerg player as toss.

I dun understand the jargons u guys using

What is GG? and Bioball?

GG = good game

Bioball refer to MMM of Terran grouping in a huge bulk/ball that makes opponent really hard to do beat them.

1 of your very big problem is you known they have plenty of viking, yet, you still place your overlords to somewhere without air defense, you should be able to win if you placed your overlords(those arent scouting) somewhere safer, like on your mineral lines where you had some air defense.

ic tq

got a question, what is the best action if you found out that your opponent lifted its base and landed into another position(most likely rich mineral), so you basically have a better start compare to your opponent. what would you do ? expand quickly or rush it and try to end it soon.

Scouting can prevent terran noobs from reaper rushing you into oblivion

Couple of replays. Can't stress enough how important it is to scout around your base and different expansions, both natural and the outer ones.

In the first one, opponent was a plat in solo and a diamond in another forgot. Well, sneaked in a pylon and when I noticed that it went unscouted for so long, it was time for a warp gate attack.

Second one, opponent tried expanding on a non natural expansion but luckily I managed to scout it. Otherwise they'd had way more mutas (my bad as well for not scouting again as well).

SCOUT SCOUT SCOUT!

EMO F**K, Why U know want, the next sentence. MAPHACKER!
