^ This.

You can easily push them back if you 2 gate as soon as you see this coming, pull probes, and have individual zealots chase individual marines, and 2-3 probes chase individual marines. Ignore SCV's, they won't do much damage at all. If the marines stop to fire they get raped and the SCV's just run around chasing your probes and zealots not doing much at all.

It turns into a chase game until one of the players gets overpowered by better micro.

The easiest counter to this is the faster realization that he is doing this rush by really good scouting.

Even if it can be countered, it requires much more skill and game knowledge to counter than to do it, hence it creates an unbalance of the game.

The game isn't only suppose to be balance for the 2% top players, else no one will play it. Right now this has about an estimated 95% success rate in anything but platinum league (and even there the success rate is way too high). Most likely this build will be heavily nerfed in the next patch, either by reducing SCV hp/damage and/or reduce Gateway time.

Personally, I would put my 2nd gate up while my robo builds and have a forge up after I put my core down, just in case, which will delay my robo for a few seconds.

I will have problems with earlier timing, but with proper zealot micro (and constant production + 1 sentry), even on non-ramp maps, I usually make it through.

Of course, the alternative is just to 2 gate or to proxy rush rofl. ^^
