So I have PDX LAN (500 person 4 day LAN party) in 9 days and I'm hosting a small Starcraft tournament and its nothing big but I need some advice.

What I'm looking for is the most basic, safe, run of the mill build for each matchup.

I play Protoss so I'm looking for the absolute safest builds in PvZ, PvP, PvT. I honestly havent been playing on Iccup lately so I'm not sure what is considered THE 'cookie cutter' build orders in those matchups.

TL... please help me in my time of need!

PvZ: 2 gate
PvP: 2 gate
PvT: 2 gate

+ Show Spoiler +

PvZ: Forge -> FE
PvP: Gate -> Zeal -> Core
PvT: Gate -> Core -> Expo -> Robo

I'm really not sure if you're talking about the really early game builds (as above) because I'm sure you know what to do about that already. And if you're talking about after that, I'm sure you understand that it really depends on what your opponent is doing. Anyway, this is what I do, but it really depends on what I scout so adapt accordingly.

PvP I'd say Gate -> Zeal -> Core is safer than Gate -> Core -> Goon because I get rushed so often and I hate early game harassment ;___;

Just do whatever you feel you can do strongly

Remember to proxy your gates!

In all seriousness, what kind of skill level are we talking about here? Against noobs it's better to just scout and adapt accordingly, but I'm sure you'll be drawing some people who know what they're doing.

I disagree. I think Gate -> core -> robo -> expo is safer for PvT

PvZ safest is forge -> nexus -> cannon (2 if lings) -> gateway -> gas -> core -> 2nd gas -> stargate citadel

PvP gate -> zeal -> core -> zeal

I'm surprised nobody has asked this yet, or that it wasn't put in the OP

What are the maps you're playing on?

Destination, Tau Cross, and Andromeda.

Unless someone other than me runs the tournament then it will be stupid stuff like the original LT -_-

And yes, I know Liquipedia is baller, just wanted more than one opinion on what the easiest/safest builds are.

The people I'm playing are pretty nubbish, I'm D level and beat all of them except 1 last year pretty easily.
