The stove seems to be very effective against unsuspecting zergs. Often I can delay hydras just before my DTs reach the base. Mutas have arrived at my base as my archon finishes warping. All-in zergling would undoubtedly work; hasn't been tried against me yet. Thus far, I'm 11-1 on Iccup using the build. =O

These sentences are nonsense. Also, D level players are horrible. I went through D/D+ going scouts every single game -_-

I've had this build done on me, but it failed miserably...

Nevertheless, It's still pretty neat. bring back the old school

Where did the name "The Stove" originate from? Who named the build this and why? That's what I want to know.

I love the idea of the stove, I've attempted it a couple of times... but even against my fellow D brothers on iccup... it's such a 'self-counter' build.

It pretty much works like this:
If you fail to stop the scouting, terran grabs ebay, turrets, gg.
If you do get the scout in (and this is the part I'm not really a fan of) - terran grabs a turret or 2 to protect the workers - then your DT transition is screwed unless you harass something else.

If I saw a toss with a scout I'd probably grab some marines myself :S But whatever.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan and I wish it would work more, and I know it's very much a "LOL HE WASN'T EXPECTING THAT AT ALL" type of build to win, but man, if only there was another way to do it. In fact, if the Scout techs were lower in the tech tree it would be a LOT more feasible.

Royal stove however... man I love that. I did it to my friend, recalled seiged-tanks and he called it cheese... Hilarious.

I can see this making a comeback in the Highlander tournament. I'm sure there will be some people who will be aiming for the 'best play' prizes instead of 1st place prize

I am yet another who lost to the stove, but my opponent didn't even have to go arbiters. I thought he was a noob or something and felt angry then but after reading this guide realize he did the work of a genius.

Well, I tested this build, it's actually viable if you're looking to joke, but I recommend...
PvP: Make sure your DT come right after the scout otherwise you die. Either way very risky
PvT: DT first recommended. DT rush into scout rush into 2base arbiter. That sort of works. Scout first is also possible but tends to be uneffective except for harassing to keep some marines at home.
PvZ: Stick to 2gate into sair-DT... the marauder falls victim to scourge too easily with its explosive damage.

Believe it or not, I actually developed a complete game plan with numbers for 9-patch or 10-patch maps. Here it is:
Opening:
8 pylon
10 gate
11 assim
zealot and pylon, and immediately start mining gas (you WILL have enough gas but will have to skip obs until late-game if not for the whole game). Block the ramp.
second zealot
cybernetics core
pylon
dragoon and dragoon range when core finishes

Teching up:
25 stargate
29-30 citadel
pylon
34 templar archives
35 scout and pylon
40-41 DT
43 nexus
44 pylon
Arbiter tribunal
Research some stuff, maybe a robo facility and obs, put down a bunch of gateways and 2 pylons, and transition into late-game macro mode

Suggestions for improvement are welcome
