I love your tears OP.
That is what I say to whiners on ladder.

Do you sac overloards?
Do you greedily make nothing but drones and queens?
Do you build 3-4 sunkens?
Do you understand backstab?

What map was this on? Usually you can deny a 4-gate by scouting vigilantly with lings, and killing scouting probes. If you see a four-gate coming, one of your top priorities should be preventing or killing the proxy pylon.
Also note that even if you pull and sac some drones/queen, you'll still be slightly ahead most of the time.

One of the worst feelings for a protoss is AFTER a 4-gate fails.

Well..... seeing as a standard 4 Gate has ~20 Probes give or take, and you have "double the workers"

Why the fuck do you have 40 workers in 6 Minutes if you are expecting a 4 Gate??

So what you are saying is, that a zerg player will never, ever beat a 4 Gate? Why are there even Zergs in the GSL then? Why did Ret win assembly, IdrA at MLG DC. Surely Protoss have figured out by now that they will win no matter what with a 4 Gate.

This is my conclusion. Every protoss and their dog does the 3 gate expand. Zergs know this, and they get away with it so hard. Everytime I lose in a macro game, I wonder what the fuck went wrong. Well duh, he has 20 more drones and he's been pumping them out. So I just 4 gate now. YOUR fault, for being a greedy SOB.

Then you're producing too many. You've received good advice in this thread IMO. The tough part about 4gate is just scouting it, but you seem to have a problem regardless, which means you're just doing something wrong. I've also heard it's tough if you guess the unit composition incorrectly but a lot of zergs just seem to want to defend it with pure ling + spine crawlers now regardless of map so idk if thats that much of a challenge anymore.

theres a reason i called it a RANT, i exaggerated so much in my post because... well I was raging lol
Realistically though, its really hard to hold for me especially when Protoss does the "MC cancel nexus 4 gate". I really can see no counter to this because Zergs reaction to seeing an expo is droning up, which is exactly what makes P win to this kind of 4 gate.

And yes, sometimes I can't even stop it when I see it coming. Zealot tank + stalker range + sentry ff = death zerg.

Essentially, he's not asking how to stop a 4-gate, he wasnt people to zerg QQ with him.

I'll keep 4 gating for as long as zergs keep assuming 3 gate expand and blindly take super early third with 415423 drones. ^_^

One Gate Two Gate Three Gate Four
Every single matchup units knocking at your door
From Bronze to Masters league with one build so i'm sure
Thats why Protoss is EZ.

^ is from "Why noobs don't get GGd" by Suspense.

But yeah, im one of the rare protosses who refuse to 4gate at all.
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.

Haha feel the same as well. Even though I hate all ins and love macro games, it's always the macro games that are the hardest to win.

Not to say 4 gates aren't hard to hold off, but their far from "impossible." In fact, if you know one's coming, you have an at least 80% chance of winning. Of course it's a micro war, but as long as you don't accidently move(instead of a-moving) your units or something like that, you'll do alright.

Just get in the habit of getting an overlord over there in the right position to be able to sac it. If you do know a 4 gate is coming, or are very suspicius of one, then build a roach warren just to be safe.

On the longer maps obviously you won't have an overlord ready to be sacced 100% of the time. That would normally be "Ahhhh", but fortunately its also a longer map. You can build a roach warren(if suspicious) and still drone up, and then build units when its time.

Things to look for for 4 gate:
1.4 gates.
2.Stalker pops out first
3.One gas(and not getting gas. Try to keep drone alive for this purpose. If he doesn't get gas its the zealot stalker 4 gate, and you need roach warren asap.)
4.Saved chrono.

It's all about knowing if its a 4 gate, once you get that settled, its easy.

P.S. If you need help beating a 4 gate, or you get 4 gated, then hook me up. I know how cruddy it feels when you get cheesed/all-ined, and trust me I above probably 99% of people HATE HATE HATE all ins. Maybe I can play a couple games against some of these 4 gaters and show you how to hold it off.

Well soon there will be a new GameBreakingStrategyDice for Protoss to mix up this stuff. It will be a 12Dice and people can role him at start and we will see amazing new games. We will make 3 versions of it for every matchup and this will have fancy colours.

1-8 - 4Gate
9-10 - Collossi /Stalker
11 - Air
12 - Caononrush

9,95 bugs for it, it will be amazing.
