I'm pretty bad at sc2 regardless, I'm always mid-plat, but lately I seem to lose to every single terran I come across. Early marine/marauder molests me every time.

I'm tired of having to resort to cannon rushing for wins, so what's an easier way to hold off early timings? I'm pumping units the moment I get gateways up, but it always seems like they're able to mass around the 7 minute mark and I'm done for.


You should try scouting.

Against terran I usually just open with stalks and say fuck zealots, sentries+stalkers and always a mother ship core. Time warp + force fields if you time it right will let you kill of a huge portion of what he's bringing at you, then it's just a matter of counter attacking and hoping he doesn't have fucking siege tanks everywhere (which he shouldn't if he pushed that early). If they are going heavy rauders, try your best to push out a couple immortals just to lower that armor rating so your stalkers can clean it up.

Interesting that you have troubles PvT.

I don't see how you could lose that match up.

Best of luck to you.

What, is that usually the easiest matchup for toss? Lol, I have no problems with PvZ or PvP... PvT is my downfall.

I scout after first pylon, get to see the normal shit... but by the time i'd get an observer or my core over to scout, they're already massed up. Next game it happens I will.

Yeah, I think I gotta utilize my core a little bit better too. I don't babysit it as well as I could, and it gets sniped sometimes.

try doing the initial push yourself. do 6 blink stalker harass and delay his expansion, or use w/e units you like.

Try leaving your probe at his natural after you scout the main for gas. It will let you know when (if) he expands. Also leave a zealot (or another probe) outside his natural's ramp, to see when he leaves his natural with an army.
Tuck the first probe back behind the minerals so he won't catch it if he does a lazy check.
