Well if that's the case, then padan muka MC lost. A double blow to oGs team.

They are like Real Madrid. Full of top class star but play like shyt.

Lol at Avenge's Force Field. That's not the way you want to FF against Marauders army. Code B.

Toss QQ about Terran Marauders, Zerg QQ about Toss 200/200 deathball, and Terran QQ about Zerg Blings and Infestors.

So overall it's a balanced game. No prob.

With the new way of introducing players, it's no wonder IdrA decided to go back to US.

Imagine if he's still there.

If M is what defines the greatness of the players, SlayerS_MMA is definitely the king.

MVP and MC are top class. But MKP? He is too over-stylish and can be inconsistent at times.

2 base baneling rush is one of the hardest rush to stop as a terran. you basically need to have a siege mode orientated opening to counter it. if not, you need to know its coming and have bunkers BEHIND your rax wall......or else you will die. ST july love to do this rush ALOT.

symptoms, more than 8 lings running around for no reason on the field (pro zergs dont make lings for no reason), not alot of drones at nat and finally save your 2nd 50 mana for a scan.

3 things to note in your scan.
-zerg got 3 tech path to choose in ZvT by the time you throw down your scan, (1) starting his lair, (2) roach warren, (3) baneling nest.
-how many gas had he mined? he should have mined about 600 gas b4 his bust. (100 for ling speed, 50 for b nest, about 400 for banelings)
-see whats the next round of unit coming out, drones or lings.

basically if you didnt see a lair, expect a rush coming.

if you 2 rax bunker rushed him and expo behind it, its coming 90% of the time because thats the best thing a Z can do with his extra lings after fending off your push from a hatch first build.

the biggest bust can be up to 20 banelings, enuf to take down the rax wall, thats why you need bunker behind rax....with that double wall, you wont die no matter what and bunker is free teeheee....

but my knowledge of the game had been lacking behind alot...didnt play for almost a month liao, maybe the meta game is diff now.

Great observation! thumbup.gif Showing how important scouting really is.

Basically if I two raxes bunker rush my opponent I'll build my 2nd rax at proxy area near his base. After the rush is over, just fly the rax over his base to see what he plans to do. You can save a scan by doing this (Queen takes ten years to kill the rax).

Anyway I doubt bunker behind rax wall will work. High eco Banelings bust can bust down the front rax and if your bunkers are not positioned perfectly to form the 2nd layer wall, the speedlings and remaining Blings will just go through and go to your mineral line. Furthermore, bunkers are as fragile as depot with 400 hp.

Two layers of rax / factory / CC wall should do the job. This means you'll need about 5 of those to form your wall until the siege tech is out.
