Most people probably expect a whine thread/imbalance thread, but actually, quite the opposite is the case. As this is the last week of my school before Christmas, I decided that I would only and only 4 gate till the end of this week. I'm a 2500~ diamond terran who wanted to try how easy it is. It's. So. Easy. I make like 10 mistakes in my first game and I still roflstomp some zerg. So anyway, so far I'm 4-1, I'll update this blog as I play more. :D! edit: Ok I'm done for today, I found that zergs were the easiest to 4 gate, protosses obviously had experience dealing with it so that was a bit tough and against terran it depended on my army composition. You actually learn a lot by 4 gating, it surprised me. Even if people scout it I could win and lose depending on how I engage, where I engage, zealots in front? Force fields? There are a lot of variables that I never thought of. I would definetly advise people who never tried 4 gating, I feel like I've learned a lot more than I would do if I just played normally. Final score : 13 : 7

I hate how every protoss is like "once i hit X rating and good zergs learn how to defend a 4 gate" as if a 4 gate was this build that didn't depend on player skill and was just stopped at high skill levels. No, there are 19 probe 4 gates and 30 probe 4 gate which can expo and punish turtle play and we're talking a range of attack timings from about 6 to 8 minutes game time. It's extremely powerful and a variety of versions should be practiced for every protoss' repertoire
That said, its not particularly hard, compared to how hard it is to defend..

There is a big difference between a race being easy and a race being imbalanced. (or strategy, for that matter)

2500?? So weak. No wonder you're winning with 4 gate. Once you hit 2700, it stops working. DUH.

Every race has an easy strategy.

Ugh, I feel you. Pun threads are nothing Budapest.
But there'll probably be Samoa puns anyways -_-

TL doing it's thang again. 
Dang, seeing that popcorn made me Hungary. I think I have some Turkey in the fridge.
|
Did you just change your place so we can't make a pun out of yours? LOL fuck me if i'm going to a pun out of that lmao.
EDIT: Ireland a few puns before I leave this thread i guess.
|
rofl, no I changed it a Wales back coz I like the sound of it :D
|
the end of it kinda sounds like salami
i had salami a few hours ago
|
ew salami.
too much greece, imo
|
Come now guys, this is serious. 4 gate Israeli hard to stop xD
|
Yea Kenya guys get back on topic?
|
Yes, lets finnish the original discussion
|
Wonder why it got such a Chile reception
|
I'm pretty disappointed in you guys, all Russian to start making bad puns. All of a Sudan this thread gets derailed and no one even talks about 4 gates anymore. There's Norway I want to see this continue, I'm Finnish with it. I'm being Syria's.
So anyways, now that that's out of the way. I Haiti to break it to you OP, but there are many strategies that can be executed ad nauseum that are extremely effective, some variants of the 4-gate being among them. :p
|
When I think about the Zerg race I come to the conclusion that Italian what they look like.

Low content op on a topic that is quite clearly not leading towards any meaningful discussion. Good luck with your experiment OP.
edit: edit in some more content with your 'update' fast lol
|
NOOOO DONT CLOSE THIS
edit: Rwanda keep this open just for future 4gate posts?
|
On topic, 4gate terrifies me, the other day I scouted it and felt weird in my stomach so Iran to the toilet right away. I don't know, I Bolivia it's the proper counter to 4gate. You simply Canada do anything else.
4-gaters really have no Seoul. 
Too often Iraq my brain for hours trying to come up with a counter to a simple strategy like that. Norway I'm doing that again!
|
You can't close this thread KENYA?
edit : It already had been said, now everyone will tell me URUGUAY?
|
|
Guys, we're overusing some of these...
I mean, Raleigh now...Denmark of a good pun is not to overuse it. We should help the OP instead of making him want Togo away with his questions.
|
I see what you're saying. It's just that I like to Rome the forums looking for threads just like this.
|
I hate four gate. I Singapore song every time I run into it. After I'm done crying my eyes out because I lose it to, I go get a Minnesota.
|
i feel that we need to reflect on ourselves and how this thread has progressed. It is beneficial in my eyes to try the strategies that you lose to in order to find out why they're so strong. It really helped me stop that 2rax scv push.

Not many threads make me actually laugh, but I'm laughing right now.

Haha, blogjacked by country punners, didn't see that one coming, I think it surprised all of U.S. really... Probably for the best, this blog was Ghana go no where fast... Helsinki, this is more fun, anyway.
|
I'd suggest you Peru's the strategy forum, but it appears you already have.
|
No need to stick Djibouti into this blog and threaten to close it, just because you don't like 4 gates
|
This is why I love TL. I was just sittin' here about to Sweeden my coffee with a Cuba sugar, and then BAM i see this thread! I almost dropped my cup in my lap and spilled on my Thai!
|
I was getting a little Hungary earlier so I had Togo pick up some food but damn its really cold out, but I can understand your sentiment, TL sure is india-ering

so I was sitting here China think of something funny and smart to say but nothing comes to mind. then i asked a friend if he had any ideas and he said "Yemen I got loads of good ones."
|
well you know what they say, maybe if protoss's stupped Russian 4 warpgates they'd be less of a Spain in Djibouti (fuck, I've used this one twice)
|
Funny thread. I stopped caracas'ing my Poland started reading.
|
I was Sweden bullets trying to think of more puns earlier today. There's Norway we can keep this going, or is there? Oslo, it's funny not many people have talked about 4WG at all haha
