On maps like longinus, tau cross or medusa (perhaps collosseum) i know this early rush/pressure build, (i think i found it on this site somewhere)

8 - Pylon
10 - Gateway
11 - Assimilator
13 - Core + Gateway
14 - Pylon
15 - Dragoon + Cut probes
17 - 2* Dragoon
19 - Range

... continue pumping and pressure

But in the interview video thing about "nony goes to courage" they repeatingly were talking about a 10/15 gate build order on medusa and it seemed nony would win easily with it. So i assume the build i am using is not optimal. Can someone explain the 10/15 gate?

11/12 - assimilator
13/14 - core
15 - gateway, cut Probes, Dragoon
17 - pylon, Dragoon Range
Two Dragoons at the same time. Works out so both dragoons build simultaneously.

Probably not the exact Nony build but here's a variation of it.

Edit: Looking at your build actually, the 13 gateway looks a bit out of placed. How does an earlier second gateway work out for you?

I dunno, it all fits when you follow the build order, exactly enough gas and minerals when you need them. But i cant compare based on actual secodns, cause the chaoslauncher timer doesnt seem to work anymore.

Edit, i think mine gives you the earlier goons, and the 10/15 gives you the earlier range and form then onwards prolly the same builds i suppose.

it works on maps like longinus tau cross medusa etc, because they are 3 player maps. Because to afford everything you need to scout quite late (after gas, preferable after core). And with a 3 player map you will find him alot faster than on a 4 player map.
Really, play for fun!

Actually looking at the two builds, I am getting the earlier first dragoon since I am not cutting as much probes to place an early 13 gateway + early 14 pylon. We both build our dragoon at 15 psi.

The two dragoons following appear relatively the same.

I am not sure which build is better, maybe someone more well informed can comment on it.

8 pylon
10 gate
12 assi
13 core
15 gate
15 pylon (some pylon after goon good but this way is much faster especially on 3 base maps where your only goal with your scout is to find the t's base)
15 range
15 goon etc. (or u can go 15 probe and wait for pylon which is like a few seconds, i usually use the 16 probe to scout then goon)

but 12 nex is much better then 10/15 on medusa

Damn, you really cut your probes to get stuff done. What is that, 500 minerals spent on 15 psi alone?

u dont really feel the cut, by the time u make ur 15 pylon and the time your core is done u should have like 140 min + like 130 gas and it lets me add a probe, on 3 player maps u can afford to do this b.o because you can scout alot slower and get a few extra mins in(u get eco advantage + speed and your next 2 goons are out alot faster)

Don't give absolute advice like the last line of your post especially since it isn't true at all that 12 nex is absolutely better than 10/15 gate. Going 10/15 allows for early pressure and can lead to an easy win even against pro-gamers (see NonY's game 2 victory vs the guy who won courage and is now a pro-gamer.) 12 nex can be a powerful build since it allows for a strong economic lead but this is assuming you don't die to some sort of 2 fac attack or an early marine/scv rush which if executed properly by the terran can be difficult to defend even with proper micro.

I compared the builds, 10/13 vs 10/15, cause i was curious and i got to much time. Seems that the 10/13 is faster, but you sacrifice A LOT of economy and range is 30sec later, so its more like an all-in build while i presume with 10/15 (goon before pylon) your economy is strong enough to stay in the game if the pressure fails.

Anyways, seems 10/15 will be overal better/safer while you can still pressure enough so i'm glad i learned a new bo today.

if you rly wanna know the timing (yeah, i got bored and wrote it down):

10/13: 3:12 1st goon - 3:20 2nd goon - 3:43 3rd goon - 3:57 4th goon - 4:15 5th goon
-> At 5:00 you got 8 goons, range, 2 goons building but only 17 probes.

10/15: 3:15 1st goon - 3:58 - 2nd+3rd goon - 4:35 - 4th+5th goon and range
-> At 5:00 you got 6 goons, range, 2 goons building and 21 probes (4 more)

every b.o has its advantage and disadvantage, just because someone beat someone while using that build doesnt really mean shit it also depends on your opponent and your game style but if you can 12nex properly(which isnt too hard) then its worthwhile especially on medusa because t cant proxy rack(bsb or bbs) anywhere on the map (except on the 1oclock exp but thats such a far distance anyways, and youd still be able to defend it)

and saying "12 nex can be a powerful build since it allows for a strong economic lead but this is assuming you don't die to some sort of 2 fac attack or an early marine/scv rush which if executed properly by the terran can be difficult to defend even with proper micro.", is like me saying 10/15 can be a powerful build too because you can hurt t early game but this is assuming he doesnt block it perfectly while exping insanely early on his min only so he then gains a huge economic advantage over the toss, or he only bunks his front and repairs it while waiting on his tank + exps

10/13 sucks and is useless because it lacks range.
You're broke, and you can't even handle the tank/s.

10/15 is better not only on 3 player maps, but flat maps. Chokes really ruin this build.
10/15 is also team-hunters goon build and abusive build on Requiem.

10/15 is aggro early game play, often going into some kind of all in.
Nony chose it probably to try to quickly take initiative back in the series.
It's a easy build to follow up with fast tech or safe expo. It's very flexible and strong on certain maps.

I always used to refer to 10/15 as Hungry 2Gate Goon. Cuz you do end up feelin hungry... =(

not if he lifts his rack and puts it beside his bunk on the bottom or top and then blocks your goons with his scvs because their going to be there anyways to repair the bunk (or make a depot on the other side but good t's wouldnt need that because it would just slow their exp down and it isnt necessary), alot of the high ranked t users use to do this back in the day tau cross days especially(literally like everytime theyd scout 10/15)

but again your assuming different factors or elements, of course if the t bunks and doesnt know what hes doing and leaves huge gaps around his bunk so your goons can easily run in then youd obviously take advantage of that situtation but i can also assume the t knows what hes doing and is easily able to block your run in, a perfectly excuted 10/15 vs a perfectly executed defencive style from the t = the terran would gain the advantage because hes playing the counter b.o role while your the agressor

you can assume these types of things for any mu, for example in pvz when the z becomes the agressor and goes 9p speedling so he could run into p's base while hes feing and the toss becomes the counter b.oer in this situation, if the toss doesnt know what hes doing and does a shitty block the z is easily going to be able to run in his base but if he does know what hes doing and knows how to execute a perfectly defencive b.o then he gains the advantage in this situation

but ^ is one of the main differences between koreans and foreigners on ladders, kors exploit these type of b.os

NonY was also the one that popularised it to the general foreigners.

I don't see why you have to be such a nit about it being a specific players build.

well.. its not a specific players build
everyone has been using it forever on rampless maps

but 12 nex is much better then 10/15 on medusa
12 nex is bad on medusa, you cant rush it but you can double exp and wall off the natural. leaves protoss in fine shape anyway but you'll be way better off with wall harass or shuttle builds.

Did you even read the comments above? GTR's point was that you don't have to invent a build to have it named after you. Simply popularizing it is enough - and you could certainly make the case that NonY has popularized 10/15 gate on Medusa via that Courage video.

Think about it man, it's extremely rare to see a build actually named after the player who invented it. The common practice is to name the build for whoever made it famous: for example, Bisu, Mondragon, Kwanro...I'm sure not nearly all of these guys invented their builds. They just made high-profile, successful use of them.

10/15 gate has been used since luna and its always been called 10/15, its like saying once upon a time yellow used 9p speedling so we should call it the yellow b.o from now on

the only real famous b.os named after players which i can think of are like the gundam rush, skterran, sparksterran rush(or however u called it, i would use this name to talk about the early game bio rush sync or blaze would use tvz against sunks), the boxer build(early game tank drop tvp) and flash stlyle

Idk if this is the same but Nal_Ra used a similar 2 gate goon with cut probes on Longinus against Iris, he lost because of a proxy hidden 2 fact +vulture mine but it may help to test the timing (since its nal_ra so i guess the timing is maxed). I think the replay is somewhere the game is from Blizzcon 2007, but couldnt find it.

8 pylon
10 gate
11 gas
14 core
15 gate and cut

15. Goon and range
17 pylon
Still on 17... 2 goons
21 pylon
Still on 21... 2 goons

This is the way I do the build, range pops while attacking with 3 goons and next 2 arrive shortly after. Comments??

Nony does this build a LOT. He even did it vs me PvP on Troy at WCG - but cutting even more probes to make an early zealot.

I've used this build with plenty of success even on ramped maps, but it's definitely best on maps where T has to work hard to defend his wall without losing tanks before siege.

He called it the nony build because he had never seen it before, heard of it before Nony used it. Jeez.

Here is the build in all its glory, Free vs. UpMagiC on Longinus. Some of the best Dragoon micro one could ever witness.

from the other point of view:

what are the optimal ways to "defend" it aka blocking it with minimal casualties? (I am asking about flat maps where this build should be used)

is there any way to defend it if I didn't wall?
and what are my options if I did? should I make any marines?

thx in advance


And all is illuminated.

no wallin = bunk front, lift ur rack put it next to your bunk so block goon runin and just repair while you exp and wait for your tank, use scvs if he tries to run in, 3-4 rines

wall = 11gas then take like all 3 scvs(or 2) out of gas when you have 100 so you could exp earlier, if you wallin 0 marines <-- would be the best way to defend 10/15 on flat maps, the key is not to slow yourself down too much

Nony would disagree with you considering he used it every game on Medusa and never lost a single time.

Wait didn't he lose one? I thought they corrected the 3-0 with 10/15 before finals later to nony having lost one..... gotta go rewatch and check.

Yeah he lost one to a 2fac build

IdrA said you should 10/15 gate on Medusa wayy before this Courage video, and the build is wayyy older than that.

We should, on the other hand, name it the anti-IdrA build because he acted so condescending about it, how about that?
Complete the cycle!

I have some specific questions (and an effort to make the strategy section more like the korean sites seem to be):
How does this build work against 2 factory rushes? does it lose? what is the proper response?

How about against 1fact 1port fast drop builds? fast vulture drop builds? also fast tank drop?

proxy barracks (unlikely on medusa but still i'd like to hear about it)?

what is the best follow up if the terran does not lose immediately? expo? and then perhaps DT? and gain map control expo again and then arbiters?

where are there replays/vods of people doing this build beyond the initial one? could a good player (C+ or above) play someone good on iccup and use this build once if possible?

is there anything nonstandard that fares strangely well against this build (ex. how would biomech do?)?

are there vods or replays of each individual specific terran response that i have mentioned here against this build?

MAJOR thanks in advance!

You realise the whole point of this build is to be able to micro half decently. Though I will admit it takes a decent terran to not lose too many scvs/the initial tank. It's still fairly micro intensive at the start.
And yes I saw the jk, but I don't like that cop out.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

8 pylon
10 gate
11 assimilator
13 core
15 gate
16 range/pylon (cut probes at 16)
when second gate warps in make 2 goons, 20 psi
20 another probe
21 pylon + 2 goons


most efficient build for 4 goons and fast range imo

Not really, i tested several of them since i started this post, and the one that got the best results in overal, i.e. both early pressure and decent economy to go in the late game is the one listed below. Also the build is longer than others because you are the aggressor and there will be no harass and you shouldnt lose any goons early on, so the numbers will be correct longer.

8 pylon
10 gate
11 assim
13 core
15 gate + cut probes
15 range
15 goon
17 pylon
17 2 goons
21 probe
22 pylon
22 probe
23 2 goons
27 probe
28 either pylon or nexus depends on the succes of your first 5 goons wether you wanna keep pressuring or get your exp up. If you go for the nexus its best to wait a little longer, get two more goons out and stick at 33, saving minerals till 400, for a while doing some more dmg with your 7 goons (if they are still alive) and then build both a nexus and a pylon

the only difference between these two builds is you have one more probe with mine. same amount of goons.

Sanity, your build actually leaves you with one less goon; Gnojfatelob's cuts probes at 15 to allow a goon to be made before the second pylon.

I have yet to try this 10/15 build order, but I would use a variation that I came up with (afaik) that involved getting range before goons and then trying to snipe their first tank. Worked pretty well, so I imagine a well constructed build like this would be even better.

!!!! How can you write a PvT guide with no 10/15 experience.
This is like, how to goon rush 101.

I like cutting goons after 5 and going DTs ~_~ Best, build, ever~ besides DT drop.

I am curious about the PvP variation with probe cuts for the zealot.
Sounds like a build I would like to use quite often.

As far as i know you will not be able to stop the terran from scouting this since you only do it on a flat map and you need all you probes mining because you are poor as it is. Once the terran has scouted it he has only 1 option and that is going for a wall repair and siege expand. Every second his siege is late he will be hurting by the goons.


How about against 1fact 1port fast drop builds? fast vulture drop builds? also fast tank drop?

2 factory rush is actually later than your pressure so its not really a rush. If you see him going 2 fact (you can count his tanks, with single fact he should only have 1 when you got 1 goon, and two when you got 3 goons) just slap down your third gate and standard pvt begins. Actually i think that due to his slow siege the terran takes too much risk and will suffer a lot from the early pressure.

same with 1fact/fast drop. It cant be a fast drop because the terran must dedicate all resources to that siege expand. Drop will be late, obs will be out and you should see the drop coming.


proxy barracks (unlikely on medusa but still i'd like to hear about it)?

proxy barracks depends on micro, but i wouldn't advise this for the terran since taking on goons with pure marines is starcraft suicide.


what is the best follow up if the terran does not lose immediately? expo? and then perhaps DT? and gain map control expo again and then arbiters?

the follow up is expanding ofc. You have to decide base on the succes of your first 5 goons wether to build more and keep pressuring or to start an expand. The decision must be made again every time 2 goons pop out. Very situational, but if both players play perfect (i.e. no tank loss, no goon loss and no wall break), its best to expand after 5 goons. Expansion timing will be the same compared to the terran as in any other standard PvT, worker count should also be the levelled again (probe cut vs repairing scv snipe). So all PvT strats apply.


where are there replays/vods of people doing this build beyond the initial one? could a good player (C+ or above) play someone good on iccup and use this build once if possible?

If you wanna see vods, just check tlpd, click maps>medusa and pick any PvT. Chances are good it will be a 10/15. For reps same principle, look for PvT on medusa.


is there anything nonstandard that fares strangely well against this build (ex. how would biomech

Again the same as stated before, the 10/15 force the terran to siege expand. Another option is going for mines. This will also stop the goons from advancing, but the terran wall will fail and the terran expansion will be late and leave him behind for the rest of the game. Ofc protoss will occasionally run into the mines, lose too many goons and vultures will raid his base, but if you gotta count on this as a terran then there is something wrong with your gameplan. When facing mines with a 10/15 you should just wait for observers while delaying the terran expansion and taking your own. I actually like to get a dropship and fill it with zealots. His mine choice will have him making vults in beginning, so he will have less tanks when the expansion comes up and a bulldog will be very effective.


Lol, this is starting to become a guide, and i actually didn't even know the build order when is started this post. I will test some of these counters, try to find some reps for each of them, to get a better idea of timings from the various counters. When i have time for it that is...

That would be the 9/10 gate you normally use vs zerg i guess.

Nonys pvp build on troy vs louder 2gating:
8p,10gate, 13core, 13z, 15gate, 15p, 15goon, 18g, 20goon, p, goons
Note this has no range. So you can stick range in there but that will slow units down some.

As far as what specific bo is best (pah) for this 10/15 build plan vs T...this build can be done different ways with different tradeoffs depending on the order you go for the first goon/range/pylon. I think the key B.O. question here is what is more important -- faster goons or faster range. It is unclear to me, but I am leaning towards 15p,15goon,17range while Gnojfatelob has opted for faster range.

In fact there is already a thread on this build pvt in the forums someplace with an emphasis on no/late range. Cant find it easily though.
here it is: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=67550

Ive found that if you follow the
10 gate
11 gas
13 core
15 gate
15 pylon
range then goon

That you are somewhat mineral hungry, thus I have found that if you mine 216 gas and then take 2 probes off gas and put them on minerals for a bit, you get a stronger econ.

Two Dragoons at the same time. Works out so both dragoons build simultaneously.

Probably not the exact Nony build but here's a variation of it.

Edit: Looking at your build actually, the 13 gateway looks a bit out of placed. How does an earlier second gateway work out for you?


why do you call it the "nony build".
free has been doing this forever.

....Because he asked how to execute the build that nony executed in courage? I even know about this build before he did it recently lol.


NonY was also the one that popularised it to the general foreigners.

I don't see why you have to be such a nit about it being a specific players build.


haha I noticed after the nony at courage video everyone has been mentioning this build order, i tried it a few times on medusa on Iccup, works pretty decently. Really the trick to it is keep pumping goons while your microing the scv's/tank. once you kill the suppy and get in its pretty much GG.
Make sure you rally your goons,

also I put 3 probes on gas as soon as assimilaor finishes then after I have 2 goons finished, I transfer the 3rd to minerals.

hey guys, I'd figure i would post in this thread instead of making a new one. I just tried this build and i was able to harass his depot but he was able to repair it using 2 scv's while getting a tank and seige. I had set up a contain and went for a expansion after i had about 10 goons. It turns out that he went for a 2 factory build and owned me. any tips for me on how to over come this? after the expansion i went for a robo bay with observers after i noticed the speed vultures. By that time he had already pushed to my natural.

heres the replay
http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=6856
this guy only had 1000 pts on iccup so i figured id play him

It always helps to scout this before you exp so you can get a third gate, steamroll his rush and be very much ahead. There was a hint of double fact since he didn't expand, but that is hard too see if his tanks are well positioned like they were.

Just remember the golden rule: slap down your third gateway rigth after your second nexus and never ever let your obs be late. If you keep these in mind you shouldn't have any problems stopping a 2 fact rush with a 10/15.

Also, i do believe your micro was not that good, it should be possible to stop that 3 tank rush with your amount of goons. You lost too much to mines. But if you wanna be safe do as stated above.

btw, 1000 points people scare me the most :D i just doesn't feel right when someone has 1000 points.

2 questions, are 2 gate openings viable on python? i mean is it worth it to have 3 goons with range and then expand as opposed to doing a tech build or 1 gate into expo, etc.

second question: when do you scout in this build...i get the feeling that i need to scout later to do this right.

I think i'm stocking up too many minerals at 15 but with insufficient gas...maybe my gas goes up late, because i scout after the first pylon? or is my split just too bad..that could have been it too..

anyways, range before goon since you won't be able to start another till the pylon gets up, right?

you can goon before pylon to have one more goon..while if you pyloned first, your econ would take less of a hit, but your goon timings are slightly later. so basically it's a question of whether the 10-15 sec you lose on your rush will be made up economically

i tend to get range first before the goon, but this means i can't kill his scout as quickly..which means he knows i didn't place the 15 pylon..so he knows this is all-in...

anyways, the ordering of goon, pylon, and range is driving me crazy..i don't know which one i really prefer first..i usually look at trying this as an all-in so pylon is last, but regardless a good terran should know whether you did pylon first or goon/range first...and you can't deny the scouting till your first goon is out..so if he sees a later pylon he knows he will need units a tad faster, and vice versa.

do you find it viable to go fake 2gate range, cancel goons and go robo into reaver? and would you cancel range i nsuch a situation? or just let the reaver be a little later.

man, i'm so sleepy i can't type straight...i'll probably wake up in the morning and find this illegible.

How's that possible? In the 10/15, you never have 4 goons at a time. It goes straight from 3 to 5. What are you talking about?

you can have 4 goon.. 1 goon first, then 2 at the same time, and instead building 2 again you build 1 so you don't have to skip probes again.
