I'm coiming on soon if you guys want me in.

On a related note, I need some toss advice. I played a game the other day that was probably the most frustrating i've ever played. More than being cheesed or offensive gg'd. It wasn't on ladder but god... Anyway, I was doing trying a random build I decided to do 1 reaper FE. I understand perfectly that this is extremely dangerous (I felt confident though because i'm a gold and I consider my control somewhat decent and I was going against a bronze), but I actually lost to a 1 zealot and 1 stalker pressure that is in no way designed to kill someone (I've never died to it before anyway).

Now my question is, I had an scv in his base behind a steam pipe that he didn't know about, is there a time I could have scout to see that coming? What should I have been looking for? Because honnestly as my first reaper was heading towards his base the zealot was already at my door and the stalker a bit behind. Now my control was quite bad as this caught me WAY off guard but i'm not sure I would have survive either way. I managed to OSHIT walloff with 3 supply depots after pulling scvs do defend and I built a bunker in main, but the stalker could reach it while it was building and it finished with no health left and died right away.

I'm sure posting the replay would better explain my problem here. Anyone know how I could upload it?

[Aylee]

easiest would have been attack stalker with scv and reaper, then afterwords u could kite the zelet all day with the reaper while walling off

[Salodin]

I don't know if you can stop that persay, best you can do is delay your expansion to build a second barracks while you build a tech lab, to have a marine out to attack. He'd have to hide in a bunker of course.

[Julian]

Depending on the map:

If you have a ramp (ie, not tal darim), you're walling off with rax+2 depots. You should have a few marines out by the time the first stalker reaches your base. Just be careful not to lose any marines, and build up your numbers until you can safely claim your natural and put down a bunker. Build your CC in your base.

If it's a map w/ no ramp, or just a large map where FE is standard, if you put your CC at the natural, make sure to throw down a bunker right away to start loading your marines.

If you're still not getting anything to defend yourself with before a zealot/stalker arrives, I think you're doing something wrong >.>

I'm no terran, though, just speaking from my rather small pvt experience.

sal get on im bored XD

I'm not sure scouting would've helped in your case, because zealot + stalker is a very standard build coming from a Protoss, so it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. You said his zealot was at your door, and the stalker not far behind, by the time your reaper started moving across the map. That suggests both his zealot and stalker came out before your reaper did, which sounds really off. I'd take a closer look at the timings first, you shouldn't be in that position to start with.
