So I do my usual 1 rax FE into 3 rax into stim/medivac tech. Like a good boy I get 2 bunkers so as to not die to 4gates. However, a little before stim is done, I see stalkers in my base and I'm like WTFHax. Then a few seconds later I realise they must be blink stalkers. I usually only start marauders after I start my factory so I was only stuck with unstimmed marines and got pwned.

I guess a remark might be: Prom, why don't you scout your cliff to pick off the aggro pylon? Well, even if I pick off the pylon, that doesn't stop him from blinking stuff up. If I devote my whole army to guarding the cliffs, he will bust down my front.

Moreover, until I push out, I am blind. My only scout is the scv I sent at the start. Anything else will get picked off by stalkers, and if I scan I would not see the proxy robo or twilight council. Hell, even if I scanned ALL OF IT, I can't think of a response that would keep me alive.

Just watched quickly you only scouted 2 pylons in his base which usually means its proxied or he is 4 gating since you saw the fast 2nd gas its unlikely that he is 4 gating at this point i would have assumed 3 gate void or proxy robo for some immortal shit i dont understand the proxy robo seems retarded for this build in anycase if there is only 2 pylons send an scv around trying to find that shit, also you played super blind try rescout at 6.20-6.30 with an scv or scan but try to get some information you played completely blind, you would have lost even if you knew how to defend this build because you didnt scout it! my builds have faster Stim timings tvp and i am a little more marauder heavy then other terrans so i usually dont have trouble what i usually do is lift my nat into my main and start that stim and marauders going you will have to pull scvs at first but that is fine dont use also dont over stim if he blinks into a bad spot THEN stim dont stim to chase only to have him run away very important. unless you have medivacs ofc there are other ways to do it try defend it of 2 base with 1 bunker and scvs at your nat but i find that to be more troublesome also if you snipe the obs you are in great shape 3.30 AM sorry about the grammar etc not sure if it makes sense rofl i hope it helps.

Hmm its pretty difficult. I usually get stim around 9 minutes because I go bomber-style 1 gas. 1gas means later stim but your push at 10 is a lot stronger. Stim was even a little later here because I forgot to put scvs in gas. I guess if I make marauders after stim instead of after factory then it'll be easier to defend... hmm but then I'll have later medivacs.

It's really impossible to scout after stalkers arrive. If the stalkers have the watch towers, there's NO way an scv is getting to their base. In addition, scans will be a waste because the tech is proxied.

I guess blink stalker is just a build order win over bomber-style 1rax FE.

Quick Comments

	AxSGRiM:	it is not...
	mGGAequitas:	no such thing as a build order win

Not going to watch the replay because I'm not on my PC but on Antiga or Cloud Kingdom you want to lift your natural to your main and take a 3rd cc while defending your base until you have 2-4 medivacs + stim and marine shields.

Scout! Have a ninja scv at your opponent side of the map all the time! If you scout around 6 mins and there is no expo/ no sentries, it is almost 100% Blink allin! Just prepare for it by producing marauders immediately! Even 1 marauder help tons!. The moment he blink in the stalkers(you should have vision around your cliffs), pull ALL your scvs(in the main0 and fight, try to focus down as many stalkers before his blink cd. At least you will force him to blink down your base

you should hide your scout SCV you should be doing this in TvZ i dont see how you just auto lose to alot of shit with out it dont hide it in the natural its just going to die there

[Shieldz]

ninja scv is important and its also pretty good to get tanks and do a 2 base tank push with raven

Good info, Was playing a friend earlier today and this is all he did to me. He choose Xel'naga Caverns as one of the maps.....so glad that shitfest is gone, so hard to defend against the blink all-in...at my level anyway.
