8 Battlecruisers on 3 Bases by 9:00 (TvP Economic)

NaCl_Daddy, you normally put one turret inside the main's mineral line. The others should be placed a such way that an observer won't be able to pass the edge of your main and spot a fusion core. BCs can be hidden in your corner of the map until you get enough of them.

However, it makes less sense to hide a fusion core since the patch that brought us the BC's buff. The strategy became more popular and thus somewhat expected, whether it was scouted or not. Now it's far more reasonable to just build turrets inside mineral lines to protect them from oracle harass.

Hey, Any tips for building / turret placement to help hide the cruisers?

Thanks for the response, this puts my mind at ease :)

Think my best time when #8 BC popped was 9:10 or so. I'm perfectly content with that given how much APM im currently capable of.

I'll focus on supply count more in the future, and use the time stamps as just a general guideline.

Wanted to thank you for the build btw, had some pretty sick 4v4 games with this build order :)

Benirons, you should rely on supply count when using any build. Time stamps are introduced for convinience and they show the result of perfect execution. The last consists in optimizing mining workers among other things, as far as every new SCV automatically trying to find "his best" mineral patch basically loses mining time. Perfectly a player must assign every new worker manually to less saturated patch (unfortunately, changing the rally point of the CC beforehand doesn't do the trick). This is how pro players get their first supply depot right at 0:17.

There has to be something wrong with the times in the build order. According to the score screen build order my depot is 1 second late (@ 0:18). I put it right next to my CC while practicing the build, and the SCV is moved in advance to start building as soon as i have 100 minerals.

From then on everything is a tad later as well, and slowly snowballs into a good half a minute by the end. Im sure i can shave off a few more secs, but IMO the times r just too soon here.

@Turir, u have me confused. According to build order, 3rd CC is turned into orbital at 5:32. Regarding ur comment the 2nd CC is turned into orbital at 4:17 as per the build order above, and not the third. I am wondering y orbital is delayed so much though.

I am struggling very much to keep up with the build order in real time. Are some of the timings not too early later on? This is the first build order im trying to learn though with the help of the app, so might be just that i need way more practice.

Thx for fast editing :)

SagasPappa, you transform your 3rd CC into Orbital command at 4:17.
The third CC is placed at 3:23 and there was a mistake. Thank you for having pointed it out!

4:17 should be Command Center instead of Orbital command, I guess?
