EPTRecently Sasquatch directed me to go watch a VOD of iGJim (iGjimcredible on twitch), who is ranked top 10 GM on Korea ladder. In the VOD he does reach rank 1 & 2 at different points. I'd highly suggest to anyone interested in watching FPView of EXTREMELY clean build orders and mechanics to tune in to his Vods. I've actually never been this impressed by watching the fpview of other sc2 Protoss players in the past. He plays beautifully.
Considering how good this guy is, I'm actually really excited to watch more players from the CN region. I don't really keep up to date with 'whos good' from that part of the world besides Macsed. Would anyone be able to direct me to more Protoss players from that region who stream?
The end.
Oh heres the build order I wrote up about one game. It's from Whirlwind PvZ at 1hr12 or so of his most recent VOD. Hopefully that's helpful for some people. It's the 1g fe -> 4gate sg opener into macro. I was streaming earlier and writing this up over an hour or so and then practicing it vs AI. It seems like quite an effective build. Unless you face 10 pool speedling maybe.. T_T

9 pylon
13 gw
15 dbl gas
16 pyl
18 core
19 zealot (cancel when 95%)
21 nexus
21 mcore (position for vision of all-ins)
23 pylon (at natural for wall-in)
23 warpgate
Resume probe probe production
When 23 pyl complete. start sentry.
Rally Main 1 gas, manual drag other.
32 supply 3gate wall-off (wait 300 min. then send probe)
Resume Probe Production
34 pylon
37 tech (stargate. Could be changed for other techs)
38 gas, probe, 39 gas. (@6:10, @6:20)
Resume Probe Production
42 pylon
~@7min halluc scout/w 1 phx.
44 - Tech finishes. 1 last cb on probes, remainder cb on tech if req (ex. If sg or blink etc)
48 pylon
52 forge @7:20
52 pylon
56 Robo @7:35
Warp-in 3 sentry => Total 5 sentry.
64 pylon
65 supply @8:10 start +1 attk
Around 65 supply. Your probe count should be ~45-47. Begin prioritizing warp-ins over probes. Warp-in then add 2 probes mb is best here.
68 supply @8:15 add 1 cannon
Robo build order: Obs, immo, Colossus
74 pylon
8:40 4 phx should be out.
~80 supply Start 5th phx (5 sentry,1z,mcore)
Warp-in 4 zealot ( 5 zealot, 5 sentry, 1mcore)
88 supply @920 colossus bay
Final (6th) phx done around 10min mark.
Variable expo time between 9:30-10:30. This game was 10:10-10:20ish
Begins warping in stalkers to use accumulated gas.
Proceeds to then scale to 6 gates within 1 minute of his expo timing (~11min) & adds +1 armor
Within 2 minutes of his expo timing (~12min), dbl gas should be operational & 2 sg should be started.
Jim then begins to cut warp-ins & transition to air production while maintaining a moderate colo count. (I Believe about 3.)
Within 3 minute of his expo timing (When dbl sg are producing VRs), start TC.
Once dbl sg production is started, gw warp-ins are cut.

Oh and hopefully this is blog-like enough. I haven't actually played this build order enough to actually make a post about it in TL strategy. The opener is quite weird for me. Mid game is quite easy though, just spam those vrs guys!
