yes. sometimes it works with like 6-8 scv, but usually i just pull everything from my natural. i still have enough income to expand behind it most of the time


I'm also getin medivacs, cuz when I see colosso I try dropping thor on em, so the rines wont die fast. The thor kills colo quite quick lol

What makes this better than the old 1 base Thor all in?


the fact that it is 2base! :D
1base thor allin can be stopped with probe pull pretty easy.
if the toss sees the terran doesn't expand he will get heavy defense anyways and scout for any kind of proxy. with this build he will think it is just a normal 3rax expand build until he finds out there is no factory/starport in the terran base

But this build allows for Protoss to invest more heavily in defense and potentially get splash damage (TaKaT referenced going up against a colossus), which means that the marines will die/the SCVs will die while repairing before much can be accomplished. If you get a Thor out before he has robo tech, you basically win for free.

most toss go for heavy tech unless they plan to allin you.
when this hits he has 1 colossus or 2 hts with storm about to finish at most. toss can kite your thor/marine with his colossus all day, but he will just lose his natural while you have 3 bases.
i don't say this will always work against any protoss. but it works most of the time, also due to the fact that it is so uncommon and most toss do not react properly.
you can also add a starport if needed and get a viking out by delaying the 3rd thor

and 1base thor is not that strong. nexus cannon focus on scv and worker pull holds it off pretty easy.

Ah, forgot to consider nexus cannon. You're right, the 2 base version is more powerful.

here's a tip, if you find yourself doing a 200 supply battle vs protoss, quit before u think about 1+A

Best chance is to go for a doom drop and base trade while floating a building in a corner.
