Best Starcraft 2 11 Starport Rush Build Order Strategies – Fast Shokz SC2 Banshees Terran Strategy Guide
For the record, the 11 Starport Rush is built with 11 supply of starport. This means that you construct 11 SCVs and tech to a Starport. This strategy is best employed in a one-on-one race or in a two versus two game match.
The main objective of 11 Starport rush is to launch your banshee as early and fast as possible to harass the economy of your opponent. To accomplish this, first, you have to construct SCVs until you have 9 supplies. Then follow it up with a quick refinery. Another SCV should be constructed as soon as you started working on the refinery, and another 3 SCVs upon the completion of your refinery.
If you are within a map having 4 possible starting zones, you need to use one SCV’s minerals to scout the location of your enemies. At 10 supplies, you start building a barrack, and then another SCV. By this time, you should have 11 SCVs—with 3 on gas and 8 on minerals—and 1 barrack being constructed.
As soon as the barrack is completed, construct a factory. Begin a tech lab on the factory upon its completion and construct a Starport. While it is being constructed, a Supply Depot should also start constructing. And as soon as it is completed, you can begin to pump out a few more SCVs.
If the Starport is completed, lift it off, and switch its place with your Factory to obtain an infinitesimal tech lab on your Starport. Then start building your banshee and deploy them into your opponent’s base. Prepare another launch of your banshee when ready.
Admittedly, this strategy may require patience and presence of mind to succeed. However, when you are able to do it right, you can win in two ways:
First, if you play against another Terran, your banshee may be killed by a few marines. You still have a huge advantage over them with your enormous resource lead after you have ruined their entire supply line. In addition, you have also procured many types of information about the enemy, including the physical appearance of their base, and the units they are constructing. Your best option is to build the best counter unit against what they are constructing, and then attack before they recover.
However, if your enemy failed in killing your banshee, then you can end it at this point. Make it certain though that you have deployed more banshees surrounding their base, even after the first set was successful. You can also destroy the enemy’s anti-air towers had they successfully built some. Include in your destruction their barracks, gateway, spawning pools and any battle units they built.
