4 BLOCKHOUSE RUSH

[Kazamkikaz]

I got inspired by a noob who was defending in russia mirror with 4 blockhouse but he was choping alot wood so i decided make my version of that strategy in a rush.
I will not explain it just watch, forget if opponent is noob or not

Wait, that's a shit strat !

yo kamikazaz, what's your reasoning behind 4 blockhouses? What do they accomplish at that point of the game?

In my humble opinion, you're just delaying yourself unnecessarily without actually being able to produce out of 4 bh afterwards
I get that it worked vs that particular player and it's probably fun, but I don't see any other reason to build neither a blockhouse, a market, houses nor a TP in transition. You just end up stacking resources.
At the same time, while doing essentially nothing in transition, you're robbing yourself of the chance to pressure early with that and your push isn't big at all to justify the harsh delay

Basically you're not training vils, and your first batch comes at 6+ min so you bank resources, so it looks like you use your 4 bhs for a while. But in fact with proper macro you can pressure with your first batch earlier, and get a better mass after that while also having more vils and 2 bhs (which is enough).

basically if he is not fighting under ur bh its just wasted. and why should he?

I do 4 bh against a otto rush and win by going fortress with 2 falco 13 musk plus tc fire and the idea to reach industrial its a good idea in defensive game where u get rushed but I don't like do it for rush opposite side

[supahons]

Perhaps add some walls around the base for fun. (on RE only and against rly bad players)

that's a completely different animal you're describing, you're using the BH to secure your gathering vills and TC while you're trying to age and get a tech advantage
