Can someone doing well in the plat/gold leagues post some build orders that they use regularly to good effect? I'm just chillin in the silver league but it makes me sad that I have to improvise a build every time instead of knowing something that works.

[to mods] A sticky for known viable build orders would be nice. To have them all in one place rather than floating around.

Good thread, I would love this. Sitting in Div 6 platinum with 11-3 playing random but just getting lucky...

I usually go:
8 pylon -> scout
11 gateway
attempt proxy pylon with scout, if it doesn't work, a), if it does b)

a) gas
core
pump zeals and probes
pylon
core done research warp
gas 2
gate 2

proceed with either more gates and a tier 1 army with a probe in your push to build a forward pylon
or tech to whatever. I haven't played enough tech games.

b) gas
core
pylon
2 workers on gas until 50 only
pump probes with CB
research warp
pylon
time 2-3 more gateways with warp gate research
warp in zeals at proxy pylon until u have 7-8

I have never lost with an unscouted proxy pylon yet.

Reapers are terrible against Zerg. It's almost impossible to hide them and if the Zerg knows they are coming it's no problem at all. Simple speedlings deflect that and after that the Terran sits there with a dead end tech, lots of gas spend and no expansion.

Here is my standard build all against Terran which absolutely rapes reapers:

10 ovi
13 pool
13 gas
15 ovi
15 queen
17 zergling
Kill scout, get zergling speed at 100/100.

You can get away with another round of drones if he is going reapers, they will take a while.

At 100 gas get lair.

When speed is about to finish make like 10-12 zerglings. Keep them hidden so he runs his reapers into your main. Surround, a-move, done.

Get hydra den, expo, and make only hydra and drones. Free win from here, T won't be able to take his nat against the hydra. To attack make a lot of Zerglings again, he might use the addons for marauders.

Upgrade CC
Cast MULE and at same time get 2nd Refinery

You can make another Rax or a Factory according to what you've been going. Contrary to SC1, I've found that double Rax opening is actually good against Protoss/Terran, and so I've been doing that.
