Terran FE

[Arcanous]

Recently i have come across several terrans FEing if they see that i FE, so i was wondering if you see a terran what would be your response. So far the only thing i have had succes with is roaches. Usually the terran will throw down a bunker between the expand and the ramp making speedlings uneffective. Anyo ne else come across this?

I have seen this kind of Terran play too. Been seeing it for about a month now.

Decent reactions are either roach + baneling busts, or full baneling busts ala kyriz. Zerg can macro economically harder if terran is getting their natural, but that mid game will be very difficult. I think that's why Nestea and Kyriz like to go all in against terran early on.

Whenever I see a fast expand from the Terran or Protoss, the first thing i do is send in a scout and see if i can bust it. If it's too well positioned or just not feasible for a bust, I'll expand, and get a third base relatively early. It's important to always stay at least one base ahead of your opponent.

I don't have much experience with this however...

forget all-ins and take your zerg to the next level. take a 3rd immediately if you can (meta/lost temple) --maps like that.. and just lair up asap to get a view of wether they are going MMM or Mech, if they're meching you can easily just overpower with a massive army of Roach (you'll hardly ever see such a big army of tanks that will stop it, mech usually consist of thor/hellion heavy builds w/ few tanks if any.) If they Bio you're able to have baneling/ling/muta in time to counter any quick pushes. if none come you harass with mutas and build up to the counter army you need to beat them. Always remember to expo after every battle won ^_^ and macro good and you can't lose =p

As a terran player, the double racks into FE is easy to defend. When scouting (depending on spawn location and map) if they go hatch then pool ill make 2-3 rines to deny scouting then FE. If i see gas before pool followed by pool and possibly another pool, Ill get ready for bling bust or one base muta play.

If you play a Terran who goes for a FE most likely they are going to go marine/tank/medivac if they see banglings nest and spire. I find that zerg that can swtich from a bling muta opening into roach, infester with bings, can handle terran easy just with fungal growth and some good bling play.

I play zerg, and I find it's very map dependent whether I plan on being aggresive if a terran FE's. On a map like Xelnaga with an open natural, I will defintely be aggresive. If I'm playing on a cross position LT, I'm not going to try and bust it due to the small choke and instead take my third and macro as perfectly as possible.
