Thanks- its a nice alternative to 10 pool pressure which i felt i had to do to get early map control and punish econ b4 macroing up. worried without scouting this build would be vulnerable to a reaper harass

[KhaldorTV]

Well in the video you'll see that you are supposed to scout at 10 to confirm if there is gas or not. I will upload another video with the next few days to show how to change the build if your opponents is getting Reapers early on

Even if the Terran defend this push, you will kill 10-15 scvs. In some games you can kill 25 or more scvs. And as Khaldor said focus the scvs repairing the bunker and then kill scvs and supplydepots. You can often supplyblock the terran, also focus addons on fac/starport. BO: 9 ovi

15 hatch

15 pool

17 gas

17 ovi

18 double queen

22 one pair of lings for scouting

28 roachwarren

28 3x overlord ROACHES till 52/52

Khaldor is the BEST! Knows the game, great caster, teacher, and a sexy German guy. Moar, prease! ^^

Lovely build - why cant this work vs toss or zerg as well ?

[James Cartash]

This video is absolutely wrong. Terran should have already siege tanks at 6th min.....

[Luis Meza]

Heres my build

10 ov

13 pool & gas

16 queen

17 roach warren

18 two ovies

At 18 pop just collect minerals no more drones then just roaches til 34 pop then u can build some more or use gas for slings.

[Luis Meza]

IMO you can do this at min 5 single base is really strong if the other player expands or goes just rines. After getting like 6 roaches research ling speed it will be gg.

This strategy got me from gold to diamond in one week!

I used to be a silver player ;p

[Bratock Beaver]

good

I think it's a nice build order, but what are you doing if you are playing against a zerg? I have often faced a six pool order and I nearly lost every game. ^^
