Hello Everyone,
Ollie here from VoidSpace Alpha. I hope you are well!
In todays quick video as a one off, I have run a quick demo of my opening build order. I hope you enjoy it, and maybe even find it useful.
Let me know in the comments down below what you would adapt and change and i'll give it a go.

About the reaper, try to put it on a control gruep that way u can 'jump' between ur reaper trying to keep it alive because if u want to check for cheese, u can just scv scout after ur barracks starts the scv goes in at the time where no one has any armey. Now u can check if they didn't start any structures or started too meny, u can c it and know if they are cheeseing. The reaper Is the scout for what armey type they are going for but the way u do it it's just a handful of minerals and gas down the drain

Good point, fair enough

I'll mention one thing that is bothering me in the build and I'm really sorry if that gonna be sound to tedious. When barracks are done you pospone the orbital command upgrade and build another CC first. In most of the builds terrans do the opposite. They start the orbital upgrade right after barracks are done and wait a bit until they get 400 for the second CC. Why does it matter? In your build the first barracks were ready at 1:33 but the orbital updarade was started at 1:55. - If you start the orbital upgrade first and sent a mule when it is ready you get extra 22 seconds of the mule mining. (it will make 3 full trips 30 minerals each in this time or will get you 90 minerals). - If you use this time instead to build an extra SCV before the mule is ready it gives you only roughly 20 minerals of extramining time. Similarly it is important to start second orbial right after your 2nd CC is ready.

I did know that on the orbitals, but when I put into practise and what I know aren’t always mutually exclusive

If you post a replay file and not just a VOD, it's easier to give more precise critiques. - When you build your gas, you normally would want to get the 2nd and 3rd SCV onto it right away as soon as its ready. If you don't, your reaper will be delayed. - Like @vbabaev said, you typically want to start your orbital before you start your expansion. - You could start your factory a good amount earlier. If you're doing a reaper expand build with one marine before factory, you typically want to get it as soon as you have 150 mins and 100 gas and before you take your second gas. You have 200/126 when you take your second gas; you def could have already started the factory. Sometimes having a factory unit a few seconds earlier will make a big difference in the early game. - It's unusual to get an engineering bay as early as you do, unless you were doing some planetary fortress focused build, or really want upgrades super early. Against Z, you don't need to worry about air units for another couple of minutes, and even against protoss, it would be unusual to want an ebay that early. It would be more normal to get it either after you get barracks 2 and 3 (if you are going up to 3 CCs), or maybe after the starport if you are staying on 2 base. - You could probably get a reactor on the first barracks unless you scout that you are getting rushed. That's cheaper than getting another barracks and will let you get more marines a little later. Or you could swap the startport onto it, for example. In general (though not always), you want to get add-ons for your buildings sooner rather than later, unless you are saving up for something or have something carefully planned out. - You floated some resources at various points and started to do that more around 6 minutes as your income went up. - You might want to not build the lower wall of depots where you did. You may find it better to either wall the far side of your 3rd that is harder to defend with units from your main, or just put those depots in your main so that they can't get killed by a roach push or something. - One thing you may want to consider is either trying to get a 3rd base earlier or put on some kind of pressure earlier. The way your build flows now, the first attack hits a little late compared to a lot of 2 base builds, and the 3rd is pretty late compared to a lot of 3 base builds. -- Your SCV production slips a little bit sometimes. One thing that will help you a lot is if you train yourself to never miss building an SCV (unless its on purpose for a specific reason). I think it's probably worth watching your replay after each game and looking at both your CCs and seeing if you ever miss a beat on worker production. - You do a pretty good job, especially for someone at your level, at making sure you don't get supply blocked. Nice. - Overall pretty reasonable! I've seen a couple of your videos and you keep getting better in each one. - I'm sure it's annoying that people must tell you this all the time but if you are just trying to get your MMR up as quickly as possible, you probably just want to copy a pro build exactly. But it's totally reasonable to just use your own build and learn how it works and tweak it and adjust it as you level up. That will help you learn some of the "why"s in pro builds and have a better strategic understanding of the game.

Thanks man, all very good advice, I’ll use as much as I can. And on the last point, yes I 1000% want to just experience the game and make tasks, rather than carbon copying a pro build, that wouldn’t be fun to watch I don’t think, or fun to play

Hey Ollie When you have time, I could show you the triple cc build order with bashees

[@Voidspacealpha]

Okay cool I’d like to see that
