What are a couple of highly effective strategies for TvZ on Shakuras Plateau because most of the time I just get outmacroed?
TvZ usually means you are T, your opponent is Z notice how he said he gets out-macro'd, so probably a zerg lol shakuras plateau is a very macro-oriented map. - best way to deal with macro-ing zergs, is by expanding as well when he does so 1 rax expand - now you tech to hellions, because most of the time, a zerg who fast expands usually has to go zergling heavy. - you can tech to Thors pretty easily from here and go marine hellion thors, which is an insane composition, because it counters almost all the unit compositions that a zerg can make. - you can go bio, and drop a lot - once you know the zerg player is expanding again, thats an indication to consider expanding, manage your mules so that you can get 400 minerals fast to expand. - a good time to expand is right before you attack or after an attack if you have done some economic damage. - banshees are always good early game. what league are you in? marine tank is a very strong combo, push out once you have like 10 marines and 2 tanks. This composition requires a lot of micro, if you can handle it.
I'm in the Silver League with a Gold Star. Thanks for the great advice cHowziLLa. My favourite Composition against Zerg is Hellions and Thors, so right away I'm fairly comfortable with that. I used to favor Cloaked Banshee Rushes but I find in some Situations, like this one, it can leave you Vulnerable to a Rush or Bust, and if the Banshee Rush doesn't work it sets me back big time in a situation like this. In this situation I like to Blue Flame Hellion Rush with several. I was looking at some Youtube Videos and Leap Frogging with Siege Tanks, Marines, and Missile Turrets seemed effective. I've tried Hellion, Viking, Tanks with a bit of success but I find that Mass Muta just rapes this Composition, Vikings should bloody Counter Mutas, not the other way around, but anyway. I'm very reluctant to Expand, especially Fast Expand because I'm paranoid of a load of Banelings Rolling into the Mineral Line of my Expansion. Again Thanks for your Advice, it is much Appreciated and I'll Practice it.
I agree with you, but your example is not the correct analogy. TvZ means you are T just like in sports and you are talking about a team's score "I lost the match 16-4" you say the higher score first.
Does that mean I'm a higher score and should mention myself first? Or that T is imba so it gets to go first Way to be on-topic, go us By the way I think I might be interested in this thread, I got busted the other day and I suck with T and P.
its a sport term convention, its not out of courtesy, its just a system to prevent people from getting confused. its hard to stop baneling busts in general early game.
