The Cork

Submitted by Gameboy1031

I would say this strategy is a little under-handed, but it is effective if it works. First mine minerals with your 4 scvs and build a 5th one. Keep on mining until you have your 6th one. Then go find your opponent fast and at his entrance build some supply depots and block it. Speed your way through building by building the essentials (one Barrack, and one Factory) at your base until you get to Starport, while maintaining an adequate defense. When you build your first Starport, the enemy should notice your "cork" and should try to destroy it.
Then you can do any other strategies listed on the page like the marine drop, etc., or you can build wraiths, valkyries, and bc's to attack the perimeter around his resources or attack the units attacking your "cork". Then go in and destroy all. You could place siege tanks around the "cork", but it would take more time. Since you are mainly building air units you should have the advantage in the air. The opponent is trapped, and starved. This works well in big- money maps so build more and more scv's to make your cork bigger. Just watch out for other opponents if it is a multiplayer map.

CreepColony's Opinion: If your opponent finds out about the cork early in the game, you probably won't be able to do this strategy.
