Interesting idea. When do you add more gateways? I'm just curious because that's what I was looking for and it turns out it was the only thing I didn't see

If they're going something like 1-1-1, an FE themself, etc I think I stay on one gateway until after I've expanded, if I feel pressure coming I get a second one while robo is building. Then I just add gateways as I have the minerals

I would recommend to expand bit early or bit later, seems that you are expanding right to the 6 minutes mark, by that time a competent 3 raxed terran will steamroll you unless you cast some hero sentry FF


I opt for the first one. I expand at 23 against terran, that is just after my first stalker (skipping zealot) and after poking his ramp with my very first stalker I decide between robo (if I see rax with tech lab) or 2 more gateways (if I see reactor)

Its pretty solid, you need a lot of zealots to shield your stalker/immortal, and after your expo kicks in you can do pretty much anything you want.

I have similar concerns. That expo timing is ~= 3 rax, and ~= two rax ghost push time period.

Honestly it was hard for me to make this post because I really just play game by plan with very little focus on build orders before the early game (yeah I'm gonna work on this eventually).

I think I DO expand later if I scout a 3rax. Keep in mind I have an obs as fast as humanly possible.

This doesn't seem viable, 1 gate -> robo + obs -> twilight + charge tech -> expo. Just seems to rely on your opponent being bad/incredibly passive. You'll pretty much die to any sort of aggression. Please post reps.

I thought this was SC:BW until i read "immortal." =(
Nice build nonetheless, though. I typically prefer builds that favor expanding fast, since I'm more of an economic player than aggressive =P

Silly question, but what's the best way for me to provide replays?
