Quick question on terran droping

[Drea]v[]

I've seen players in tvz drop rines then keep loading the shuttles up with tanks. I'm just wondering how and when can you do that? When I try doing it, they already have hydra :/. Heres a rep if you dont know what I'm talking about.

It usually only works if the zerg wastes making a choke. That usually slows them down enough to go straight into their base. It's very effective, you just have to be quick about it.

Whats better: to do that drop, or just tank your way in through the choke?

[eNtitY~]

Basically you gotta scout early, and Plan it Early. Also right from the start.

If you plan the drop early enough. Definetly that.

it works when the zerg chokes, and terran builds factory after two racks, then a starport. or if u wanna do a bigger drop, u can do 4 racks, one fact, and two starports for quicker//more dropships.

tanking in never works vs a good zerg.if they're choking in, either go for fast drop and finish the game, or you build up as well. zerg's just tryin to buy time with choke to build up. if u be aggressive and tank in, you'll eventually get outmassed by zerg. so either build up urself, or quick drop

well i find that when i'm zerg....i usually end up losing not because of tanks but half of the time its because they have bc's, or they have more wraiths then i expected. :(

Get gas, then 1 barrack, then 1 fac, then mass starports and go bc's with ups. GG no re. :) It works every single time if they dont attack or have defilers.

[Opi]

well, if they scout you, they'll notice 10 starports instead of some fac's, and then they'll know you're getting bc's. :p

and then they'll mass up rather than choke so..... :(

[sLeeT]

Not if you build your ports in some other base that he wont look atttt. :)

Cool, thanks for the help. Stalife's info was probably the best.

Sadly I would say less than 20% of GOOD Zerg use defilers.

[sLeeT]

I dont use defilers, AND my zerg sucks. :) What percentage tile am I in?

[SoNNeT]

I use defilers a lot. They are the best magic unit for zerg, hands down.

If you early scout and see the choke build 1 brack 1 depot and 2 refinerys and then 1 factory you should have bout 400 spear mins... Now build starport and if u have money build another factory

Sadly I would say less than 20% of GOOD Zerg use defilers. i think that almost every good zerg start to use defilers when he see BC

Get gas, then 1 barrack, then 1 fac, then mass starports and go bc's with ups. GG no re. :) It works every single time if they dont attack or have defilers. you gotta scout as early as possible for that...because if its tvp you are dead..

Defliers are really good when you use them, but alas I don't play with zerg that much and when I do I go mass Muta and Guards.

( A long time ago ) Mega and I would use Zerg and use Ensare and Consume and other Zerg spells and people would be like omg and in shock, it was funny how many people didn't realize the Zerg capabilities at the time.
