Well today Im sad to say that I was demoted from silver down into the bronze league.

But on the upside. I looked on team liquid and i noticed that their build order was that the first gateway went down on 13 instead of 12. So i tried that out along with the other differences in the builds and it seems that the team liquid on could be a bit more effective.

For the time that the gateway that is being pushed back to 13 it seems as if i float a bit more minerals. Which in this case seems like its enough to build the structures while keeping probe numbers high enough that i keep minerals gathering at a rapid rate. Thus since the gateway is pushed back a bit I end up having more minerals in the long run and im able to get more gateways down at once. Also the timing seems to be a bit better. I noticed that my gateways finish alot closer to the time that the warp gate tech finishes thus all 4 go into warp gate at about the same time and i can get units out faster and closer to my enemy. Ive only come across one time where the warpgates were off from warp gate tech and that was because i made a couple of mistakes in timing earlier in game and that ended up throwing the tail end of my timing off. But over all, I think having a gate down on 13 instead of 12 seems to be a bit more comfortable for me in the long run even though im kinda getting a gate a bit later. What do you other Brotoss think?

Also, even though I got demoted I am currently ranked 1 for my division. Idk how long that will last since people play during the day and im at school during that time.

Even still, ill be in the higher ranks of my division so its all good. Hopefully i wont drop too much and can be back in silver soon enough.

The edit button is your friend.

You should be able to get gates into warpgates the same time even if you put your first gate down on 12.
The difference between a 13 gate and a 12 gate is a probe you can squeeze in before your gateway goes down. This, in the early game, helps your economy, but you obviously get your first unit out faster. There really isn't much of a reason to go 12 gate if you can 13 gate. Especially if 13 gate is more comfortable. If you're looking to improve your Protoss play, add me mizu.519 and we can skype or something and work on your play. :D
