Hi,

What's the correct response to after dealing with double gas 4 gate off FFE?
This toss (JesseYLToT) transitions into robo blink into third base, similar to what Yang does

(I know I under-droned and had poor upgrades in this game)

6:30 Roach warren

build a few lings while roach warren builds

then build some roaches when roach warren finishes (dont overproduce them)

then build drones again till 70.

thanks for the reply, but I was wondering what to do AFTER the 4 gate pressure

The toss turtles with sentry immortal and gets a third up eventually :|

3 main options,

1) hardcore roach pressure off 60-70 drones hoping to break the protoss's third (known commonly as 'stephano style' where you max out at anywhere between 11-13 minutes depending on the protoss's damage with his harass and your ability to macro).

2) muta-ling into take the whole ******* map with lots of crawlers and threatening counter-attacks if he ever moves out.

3) really fast tech to broodlords whilst building infestors/crawlers as defense and taking a 4th.

Or some combination of any of the above three (1 transition to 2 works fine, 2 transition to 3 also works really naturally since youre building crawlers anyway, 1 straight to 3 bypassing 2 is generally not so great as you leave yourself open massively to 3-base immortal/collosi timings).

Which route you go can be somewhat map dependent, option 1 is great on maps if the third is hard to hold for protoss(such as Korhal compound, metalopolis), option 2 is great on maps where rush distance is long and has a lot of bases that are relatively spread (metropolis, tal'darim) whilst going straight for option 3 is generally better for maps where you can take >3 bases off just a few small chokes or one large choke (shakurus is best for this in terms of how easy it is to mass crawler the mid of the map).

Hope this somewhat helps.

thanks!
1->2->3 sounds really smooth, I'll try that out

Though I recall watching a game on mOOnGLaDe, he was really ahead, made mutas and lost ._.
