Few things.... You start off good.... But due to your fixating on the pylon I dont see your workers or the fact u did forge up at your base.... That vid is a bad example in the sense to DEFEND against that strat especially as terran moment the cannons up its to late you need to avoid his cannons and keep rauders at the ready to prevent more cannons from popping up (a bit of microing is involved to do this) while you are holding the cannon push you go straight to siege tanks (and siege mode) to remove the cannons/pylons safely as the tank will out range the cannons. Also with that strat you showed it as 2v2.... TPv?? you cannon rush 2 rack rush and you go all in. especially if the first pylon is safely down unscouted you fully commit you dont defend your base.... and you drop the 2 racks at their door step to allow rines to pick off anything on your cannon construction or to delay the teammate from responding. True No1 should EVER toss all their SCV's onto a photo thats about to go up u kill the damn drone and build away from the cannons and PREVENT any more drones from sneaking in EDIT: Forgot folks if your in 1v1 getting cannon rushed there is typically a VERY VERY VERY easy way to win the match. if your troop production is safe at first use a couple rines to just pop the probe and ignore the cannons. you than take 5-10rines to the enemy base and just pop all his drones most of the time the toss will be undefended OR will have only 1 cannon. This strat is very very fragile in that sense for 1v1 Now if they get cannons on top of your min area or your CC well... damn son that just shouldnt happen period
Good reply! We actually had to move up with those terran players much earlier. Do you have a channel for your own? If you don't, maybe you want to post a vid on my channel? Have fun playing! Peace
how do you counter this as terran? it happened once and i nuked twice and destroyed them but that was expensive
http://www.youtube.com/user/joewoda I dont commentate mine. Me and 3 other guys are thinking about reviewing some of the footage to show step by step when to do what and try to explain why this or that lost. But high detail wont be coming for awhile as im focused on a show im trying to start.... It also doesnt help that I have tourneys this whole week in the SC2 Jam and than at the end of the week I believe starts the SC2 Rookie Cup
wow you beat a platinum player as a bronze league player? Thats amazing you should try out commentating! Its a lot of fun and gives you lots more views. Maybe we could do something together e.g. play and/or commentate a match together!
Unless your target had fewer than 3 cannons, the nuke probably did more damage than it cost. Teching to Ghost is a good call in just about every TvP game, so the tech and the unit itself shouldn't be considered wasted expenses.
Well nuking could be smart but the ghost would be detected by the cannons right? And by the time your at ghosts the protoss unit would have set up a beter economy because he doesnt feel any pressure at all?
That depends..... If you stop the cannon rush or contain it either way as long as he hasnt disrupted your mineral line the protoss's macro will be so far behind its not even funny (strictly in the sense he goes all in which they normally do) The most effective way to drop the cannon rush as I said is contain than move to factory>tech lab it>siege tank>siege mode (use tank to destroy all enemy structures) At this point once the cannons are gon you can either rine rape the P who should be macro screwed or you can lift the factory off toss it in his base and drop a starport where the factory was and just push banshee's @Mystery we can't play together as im NA and your EU. But we could definetly do a commentary on a vid sometime if you wanted
yeah offcourse! that would be great! Send me a good match of you and we can meet on skype or something and i will record it with you I will pm my contact data to you
