What's been working really great for me is getting a pylon/gateway on 10 and race to get warpgates. Once you get 50 gas pull guys off of gas and just get 4 warpgates right when the warpgate tech finishes, then just spam pylons near/in his base. I win with it most of the time.
Only the winner deserves to win.

Since I made this thread, my only PvP has been on desert Oasis and I gas stole into Void Rays. Rofl.

Will be trying that, 2gate in base, etc and keeping tracks of their win percentage versus diamond level players.

Didn't he say he's sick of playing 4 gate vs 4 gate? So the last thing you should go, is to suggest the warp gate rush to him

1.) Proxy Double Gateway at 10 supply can be very, very annoying, you just run in there, snipe the pylon and it's gg. Though you have to make sure with your probe, that he isn't able to do a complete wall-off.

2.) Wall-off your ramp and do a fast voidray rush, nothing beats those guys in a base race

3.) Cannon rush, I guess?

4.) If you're able to get his first probe, a forge fast expand might do the trick, especially against an early zealot push.

About Dt's, I don't know, aren't they too late against a typical 4 gate?

I win almost all my PvP games. I don't waste time or money on warpgates and go for an early immortal. I make sure i have 2 sentries in my group and 1-2 stalkers along with however many zealots I have. Immortals will melt through stalkers and your sentry shields will keep you safe long enough to power down most of his army. After that, just keep moving in units as they finish until he calls uncle.

I cant build there, somethins in the way

I don't think that will hold that well against the typical warp gate rush, most of the time you get rushed by zealots so immortals aren't exactly the best choice here, I guess you probably go for both gas, if you want to build early sentries, robo and an immortal, which means you're even more far behind. You shouldn't underestimate the timing, there is a reason why this build dominates PvP at the moment

You could wait a few more seconds and go Colosi instead of immortal if you expect high numbers of zealots. A Colosi will eat up some zealots.

Do cannon rushes work against 2gate proxy or 2gate in base?
