All Protoss players are officially gay, fat and retarded.

What is it about proxy gating that is so much fun? Doesn't it get old after a million games?

No, it's still pretty fun after about the 100th time.

You just need to scout the proxi before the gateways are even started, but certainly before they're done. Pull about 6 scvs and attack the gates; marines kill probe. It just needs practice and experience. Remember that after the protoss has failed this tactic and you have successfully defended it in your own base, the game will be even. Same with 12-14ish nexus builds; loosing nexus puts protoss even or ahead. You just have to learn to weather those storms without too much delay to your own build while countering them to keep the game even.

As doctorhelvetica said, it's fun after the 100th time. Simple strats for simple minds and they still won't get bored. This also applies for bunker rushing and early pool builds though as well, to be fair.

Yeah I know how to beat it. But the problem for me is that D+ players for some reason won't build their proxy gates in logical spots, so it is hard to scout. And even if I fend it off they do some lame DT drop or whatever, so I still usually lose.

Frustration is the word of today.

Hmm.. What do you mean? How do the standard siege expand opening counter proxy gates? Unless you wall.

All I need is a 2nd hatch, ling speed, and I'm set. Proxy gates are fun to face - it's really all down to micro then, and a really, really bad decision by P.....
