Starcraft 2 Challenge #8 - Opening Gambit

This was the most difficult tutorial to effectively translate to you guys. I recommend either playing along-side this video or following the building guide below. Also, it never hurts to save the game when you're doing well.

Building Times operate under the assumption that you know how to spam SCVs, marines, tank, and ghosts when needed, and don't load up the queue too heavily.

17:00 - Depot
16:21 - Barracks
15:58 - Refinery
15:17 - Supply Depot
15:15 - Orbital Command
14:02 - Command Center (build in base)
13:41 - Factory
13:26 - Refinery
13:07 - Depot (after this depot, build at your own pace. Don't psi lock!)
12:42 - Barracks
12:39 - Factory Tech Lab
12:19 - Factory
11:32 - Barracks Tech Lab
11:25 - Orbital Command
11:16 - Factory Tech Lab
10:48 - Ghost Academy
10:27 - Barracks Tech Lab
10:24 - Refinery
9:57 - Refinery
9:22 - Barracks
7:55 - Barracks
7:00 - Barracks
WIN!

Hope this helps :)

I can NOT get gold on this. I watched your video twice then tried, fail every time. Went by your build order in your video info, fail. The more I try the harder it is to even get silver!

In my opinion, you are a genius!

I watched all you "Starcraft II-Challenges" videos and i can tell you: It helped a lot.

Thanks for you effort!

The plural of Barracks is "Barracks"

@ the people complaining about just missing their goal: L2 quick save.

[Prays0]

Holy shit... got Gold with 3 seconds left...

@Frenki85 THANK YOU! Your build order in the beginning made the difference for me.

[Frenki85]

It can actually be done much faster. 10 supply 12 rax 15 orbital, 1st gas, marine 16 supply 22 2nd command center 23 2nd gas 24 factory 26 supply 27 2nd rax 30 OC on your 2nd command center - send to natural around 45 - ghost academy (11:03) and then 2 gas at the natural After that, you add some extra rax when floating minerals, so you can produce marines and get some tech labs to make ghosts. I had only 1 factory. 5-6 rax, half of them with tech labs, half naked. You should finish 5:27 left

[Dzenosaur]

got this on god damn 3rd try 4:02 THANK YOU

[StopSpawning]

EXACTLY 4:00 left.

[Djwolfman95]
