Perhaps you can play 2/3 of your matchups with 2gate, you can play 3/3 with 1gate.

Just go like 16gas on 1gate (2z first).
You don't need two zealots before gas. 12 gas, 13 zealot, 16 pylon, 17 zealot (if you need it).

2 gate is stupid for pvt, u can easly defend pvp with 1 gate tech with zealot, just add second gate about 21/25, u should defend this, in PvZ u can make 1 gate ->>> corsairs, if he atack u with lings u must use probs

Let me put it this way: you can play any matchup efficiently from one gate. At any far position, one gate will do just fine, and is most logical. If you spawn at 12 or 3, for example, on LT, then you should plan on two gates, as 2/3 of your amtchups will require two gates. In all honesty, you can probe rush PvT 12v3 at 10 supply after making a gate, and take down their supply depot at the wall, then return your probes to mining, gas up, slap your core down, and go from there. If you can make them pull off SCV's from mining, and manage to take down that depot (using probes and your first zealot or so), they'll be pretty far behind. Don't stop making units, though, as whenever I do that, they bunker me in, and you lose a game you should have won.

1gate vs. Zerg doesn't leave you dead. Just 20 core, and go from there. Versus a Zerg of your caliber, then yeah, you'd know to just go like 3hatch speedling. :/

i cant wait to 5-0 you zvp

Echo, you're going down. :D

LastOnesLeft, that build is pointless when you can just 17 core.

I think that PvR you should always just 1 gate wall with lots and then tech because no matter what you need tech, plus if they rush use probes;). Then, based on what race they are you can pick your tech...i think fast tech like this is good PvZ also, not just 2 gate because theres Zerg.
I am what I am, nothing more nothing less.

depends on map.. but if I choose p I do 1 gate + zeal tech as a standard.. If I random P vs another random.. I very often do fe.

note: when I play random I don't play very serious

it's very simple, just always scout closest spot... after pylon.. this way the zerg would be far enough you would have 2 lots and core
