I use 3 rax, 1 fact, 2 starports vs toss as my opening structures however I do it a bit differently.

I get two Rax, 1 tech lab before my factory(with lab) and starport, once my first starport is out I throw down my third rax and add a reactor to one of them. at some point I throw in my ghost lab and second starport.

I focus on heavy bio, with medivacs, tanks for support/securing positions.

Its very strong in my opinion and allows you to create tons of pressure consistently through out the game.

Thank you for coming up with this build. I am currently having much trouble TvP. I will try this out for sure tonight. (I am in Diamond, all my losses are P)

Great post OP. As usual, you'll have your idiot platinum players/know-it-alls who will come in this thread and say this build won't work for reason X or reason Y, but all things considered I'd have to say it sounds like a great build.

This sounds similar to the iEchoic's 1-1-2 build except this one seems way more allin. Doesn't even seem stronger. No harass opportunities either.

the first attack IS the harass, dude. It's not all in at all.


How is 3 rax, 1 fact and 2 port constantly producing NOT an allin? Think of the follow through. And the frontal push most probably will never come close to effect of dropping 3 hellions one shotting heaps of probes.

Damn you!!!!

This build, at least the way you execute it, is scary as shit.

On the plus side, it gives me more of an excuse to do phoenix play - and who doesn't love phoenix play?

Ravens only nullify stalkers if hes playing at his choke, waiting to lose.. Any decent protoss player will not do that.

That said, this push is pretty strong, I've only seen replays of it and haven't experienced it

This push is so fkin scary. Ive personally experienced this and can say that you feel powerless when the unit composition hits you. I did 2gate robo expo into 3 gate robo thinking that a 2 immortal 8 stalker and handful of zealots with 1 sentry could hold this off. i was very very wrong.

Im not sure if you can fast expo vs this build. Can anyone comment on how to counter this build.

Phoenix play? 2 gate into blink stalker?

Fast templars (if you manage to do this) hard counter banshee/marines build.
You can buy time with colossus too. Marines will melt against them. The T must choose between producing banshees and vikings and no terran will like this.

Just wondering, how much of an alteration will I need to make if I open 10 rax 10 depot 12 OC 13 refinery instead (my standard opening)? I like the idea of the build.

Do you put reactors on the 3x rax and the factory? Also do you get any upgrades? (pre ignitor, combat shield, stim etc)

Any replays of you losing? When (if) you lose, why do you lose? When you win, what do you think your opponents could have done better?

Yep I am 800ish diamond and I have been dominating with this in my TvP's. I frikin LOVE it. Another hidden tactic this transition from marauders to two port banshee is the fact that the opponent will scout 3 marauders + marine early and will possibly transition into immortal, which then you will proceed to roll him with marines and banshees.

the point of the poke is to force the toss to be getting units instead of teching or expanding too fast

any good toss will have enough units to beat your poke, but your poke will do damage to the toss and will let you scout slightly his build by sending in your hellion

in fact, by using that hellion to drive around his base for a while you can save a scan and the poke partly almost pays for itself cuz you get that 250 minerals from the mule instead of scanning


now every toss should beat back your poke if he is playing standard. i believe even 1gate stargate can beat back the poke with a void ray coming out shortly. but because you have mules and the toss doesnt that means you will outproduce the 1base toss so even if you lose all your poke units and the toss only loses 2 zealots it doesnt matter.

mm / banshee beats toss before high templar or collossi (heck it even beats high templar or collossi) so you will be fine against the toss




as a 800 diamond toss i go 1gate stargate void rays every game against terran. my strategy would beat back the terran and i would be on even grounds against this build. void rays are strong against all units even marines and vikings. 1 charged void ray (250 minerals) will kill 4 stimmed combat shield marines (200 minerals) and the zealots your pumping are more mineral effective than the marines so you can come out on top in the end. speed void rays also are fast and give map control letting you outproduce the terran


i still pump void rays even when my enemy is making vikings and marines. i can still win the battles usually

cloak is a real nightmare but i deal with it usually

How does this build do against the kcdc fast expand build?


I've played against this kind of strat...raven/marine using kcdc's expo build, and while this build will give a mid-game push that will certainly give you a run for your money, it is by no means unstoppable as a 2 base protoss. (for the record, I lost but there was plenty of room for improvement) Getting pheonixes will certainly make your life easier, but a different solution is just to plant your self somewhere between you and ur opponent base. Just engage once, you should have the larger army, bar PDD, and once your zealots die, retreat (he has no concussive shells, stalkers run faster than banshees, if they over extend themselves pursueing, just snipe them. Then with your ~6 warpgate chronoboosted, add zealotsfor a second engagement which you should win.

Do you mind uploading a loss or two so we can see what the weaknesses of the build are? Should help terrans flush out the build and help toss realize what to do against it.

Banshees actually deal a lot of damage to colossi, so if you can micro them to avoid being sniped you can kill the colossus pretty fast and then you're golden.

two starport is starting to become standard since banshees are very strong and especially since tanks will start sucking soon.

Very nice build. Used it now 5 times with 4-1 stats. Only lost cause my poke got owned (Stalkers are faster :/). He rushed instantly after my poke and with 2 marines a raven with ~80energy (+ a helion?) I couldnt defend against that. But all in all. Very nice! )

Tagging for later, this seems like a very solid build. Wouldn't mind a YABOT string for it either, if anyone would be kind enough.
