T Building Placement

[IceFlare]

Dunno if this thread should be here or in the sc depot. Just wondering wut is a good terran building placement on LT. I watch some pro reps and they all got weird setups, the setup i use is to interlock factory and starport addons close together to create something like a wall. this is of course if i got pvt or pvp. Just wondering wut would be the better method because this method is very confusing to me a screenshot would be nice

Wha??

Your two matchups are both as protoss, yet you're asking about terran building placement. On the other hand, how would you use addons to make walls (unless you liftoff and build them in the shape of a wallin)?

Well, as for screenshots, these are my favorite wallins as terran for the individual start locations in LT. Of course, they may or may not be the best, so don't act as if they're canon. They aren't (except maybe the 9 o'clock one).

Since I'm not quite sure how to upload screenies directly, I put them into a Word file.

Ah... Stupid 2mg upload limit. Sorry, man.

i just block my entrance with 2 supplies + 1 raks, note build engine bay near the cliff in the direction ur enemy is in when u wanna build turrets, so that u can float ur engine and it would act as a scouting tool

I like to cluster my Supply Depots near the resources to make it difficult for dropping, too.

Ya i do wut u guys do but i mean the factories and starports and crap.... since they all should get some addons how would u position them neatly

Another question you know how most terrans make a rax depot wall at the ramp on LT, ive heard some people suggest that you dont make the wall and make the rax near your future factories so that you can create a long line of buildings for units to walk around when they get inside your base... is this suggested?

Only if its an open map. If the map has a choke, use it.

Why is everyone so obsessed with walling in? It's for TvP ONLY.. it has limited use in TvZ (for wriath rush or dumbass tank drop), and it's actually counter productive TvT.

[IceFlare]

ya i know that but it seems to be effective when you dont play against pro gamers who capitalize on every little mistake you do.. it slows down rush but wut if say you use rax to scout...... like i saw xellos and midas do in wcg, would you just leave an open building arrangement inside your base or would you interlock the addons to create a nice tight formation

[thefazant]

it hardly matters
