ive been playing on a US server. I think West.

I tend to agree with higher level 1v1 games, I doubt they have to worry about shit tactics like cannon rushes.

This guy i played the other night, ran a drone down to my base and built a gateway, forge at my entrance, blocked me in with a couple cannons behind then came over the top with voids. I had no answer to it. Really pissed me off.

Been trying to expand faster (by 2min) doesnt work all the time, but it makes a massive difference with speed.

also got a keyboard that has a in built macro/key binding software for the extra keys.

I wrote some macros to select hatcheries, lava and then build whatever unit i want. That has also made me that little bit faster and easier to manage troops.

lol ye you will get idiots who do that type of thing in lower leagues/classes unfortunately.

You need to learn to use overlords to scout in that instance. Get early Lair and upgrade overlord speed = easy scouting.

Plus if he made cannons behind a gate/forge, you just make queens or roaches to push past it and then run in an dominate him.

Or use my fav weapon... Nydus Tunnels - to get your troops into his base easily.

Thats the thing with RTS - there is always a counter, you just have to know what it is and the only way is via experience and in-game scouting.

The best counter to voids early is just to make queens cause they can heal each other easily and do good dmg/range. Not too many towers as they cost minerals/drones so queens offer much better value. Hence I have usually 2 queens at each hatch to heal and defend easily as you can also heal towers with queens

Once economy up and running i also make a 2nd hatch @ my main base and then have 3 queens so you can have 10-20 larve ready at any given time if you are waiting for tech or need to change units fast.
