[TvZ]Defending Roach/(B)Ling All-in with Hellion/Banshee
If I do a 1 rax FE or CC first into Hellion/Banshee, I find it very difficult to hold some of the all-ins that zerg can throw at me. There are many all-ins that can arrive at various times, roach rush w/ slowling, speedling/bling, roach/speedling/bling etc.
I usually scv scout up until queens pop out. Even then, if a zerg chucks down 2 gas immediately after the scv dies, they can still perform a later all-in. My next scout is usually the hellion poke, which is about 6 minutes. This usually spots potential all-ins from the speedling count, and I have limited time to react.
Even when I spot the all-ins, I have a lot of trouble defending. Banelings bust through the nat bunker and up the ramp with ease. Even in the rare cases where I kill all the lings with hellion kite micro, my mineral line still gets obliterated by banelings. I can defend, with huge losses.
I honestly don't even know how you're supposed to hold a slowling/roach rush, as it comes way before banshees. I remember watching aTnClouD's stream and even he was raging about how it was impossible.
Can anyone give pointers on scouting/defending? Especially the defending bit
Thx
