SC2 Halby #70 (3of3) Macro Practice: The Mineral Drill

To ask "what if he gets colossus" is to miss the point. We are here to improve, not to win. If you lose a game where you made only marines, then go to the resources graph on the score screen, and see yourself pulling down 3x your opponents $$, you can say to yourself "holy crap, if those had been real units instead of marines, I'd dominate!" The reason we do the drill with marines, is that it simplifies our macro so that we can get a feel for how much money we can get, best case.

Sup man - how many Racks do you need when you supply max? Also what ratio SCVs to Army is best?

[HalbyStarcraft]

@ciscoleon you don't really want to aim for a specific number, just keep going thru the priority list: scvs/supply depots/expos, then use the rax you have, then if you have money left over, build more rax, repeat. worrying too much about how many rax you have or need won't help and it could hurt... if you can use the ones you have constantly and still have money, you need more, if not, you don't need more :P

[jbfairchild]

oh and 7 bases... jesus.

[HalbyStarcraft]

@jbfairchild not to mention 45 barracks.

@waseatenbyagrue huh?

[waseatenbyagrue]

What do you think about adding firebats to the mix?

[yellowajah]

Thanks man, good training.

How do you go about prioritising CC/rax/dep?

[docmurphy83]

I'd say if noobs are asking about adding gas to this build... Instead of making 1,000 racks make only 8,000 and use those minerals on refining gas... And if your making that many marines you'd probably not want to do it against protoss. It's probably best against zerg, since they're marine eating unit is ultras & they have attack at zero range... still sounds like a bad idea though

[funnystuff9211]

can u make one of these drills that use gas as well or telll us when to put refinerys

in this drill

[hit9uget9]

@superpowergod what if people asked questions without thinking first?

[DisgustingOrphan]

@superpowergod Scan. I tried this build against a Protoss that tried going Dark Templar, and by the time he got 4 of them in my base, I had 4 Orbitals. All I needed to do was wait until I had the energy, move a small clutch of Marines in, scan, and clean house.

Great video. Definitely a need for scrubs like me.
