Am I missing something? The OP states: You go MSC+Stalker and then Sentry before(!) Nexus. This is according to the build listed in the OP. This is not the "typcial" 13 gate, 14 gas, 15 pylon, 18 core, 20/21 Nexus build. It is not the double gas -> nexus build. It some kind of MSC+stalker into sentry -> nexus build. The original post describing the build My build rushes out a stalker and a mothership core along with 2 gas. 9 pylon 13 gate 14 gas 16 pylon 17 gas 18 core 20 pylon @ 100% core => MSc and stalker then warp gate. .... I also follow up the stalker by getting a quick sentry. This lets me send a hallucination for a follow up scout @ 6:30. The pylon on 20 is why I assume he gets the sentry before the Nexus. In the context of the build in the OP, here is what I don't get. The concerns raised so far are: 1) How do I deal with a reaper? - Is this really a concern with this build? 2) How do I deal with proxy rax? - Is this really a concern with this build? As I understand it, we are getting a blind sentry. The concerns I would have with this build is more along the lines of: How do I deal with the fact I am behind economically against ALL standard TvP builds if I sit back and do nothing? Which is why the only conclusion I could come to was that you need to do something with your early units to balance the scales. Now we don't know what the OPs follow up is. All he has jotted down is the outline of the build as well as he was "rushing" the MSC+Stalker into sentry combo. Maybe he has a timing coming up after this, maybe he doesn't. When it comes to the scouting part, just read the post by PtitDrogo, he is an amazing player who knows his stuff. But I have to ask again (Jesus, I sound like a broken record I know, I'm really sorry.) - If the OP wants to play his build, MSC+Stalker -> sentry, are we really concerned with scouting for early game shenanigans? Aren't we more concerned with being behind against standard play? If we skip the sentry and add, lets say, a Stargate, I get it. Then we have the ability to both scout and do some economical damage. But with this build, I am at a loss. I don't mean to come of arrogant, I apologize if I do, I just don't understand the discussion. Aren't we behind if we do nothing? Aren't we even further behind if we probe scout (just on an off-chance of a proxy rax) and do nothing? Why are we concerned with proxy raxes and reapers when we open one of the safest builds we can muster? Please help | ||
