I pulled ~5 probes to block in case that happened. P can always use more probes if it comes to worker fights. | ||

Erm, unless you have maphack, lots of luck, or really damn good scouting skills, yes it does. The CC should be proxied, meaning you usually won't see it being built. Either that or it's built as if it were an expansion CC. Even if you continuously follow his scv scout it's not that big a deal for the Terran to either kill that probe following the scv with a marine or to simply send out a different scv while you're distracted or something. This build is certainly stoppable, though. | ||

If you just put a probe on his scouting SCV and park your scout probe outside his ramp, he has to fight off your scout probe and then pull a second SCV from his base to build a proxy cc, or force your probe off of his scout. There's no rule that says you cant follow their SCV forever. | ||

but the problem I have with it: I believe there are at least 1-2 strategies that are way more solid than this to prevent a FE. Why? FEing protoss count on their sentrys. They mix in either stalkers or immortals (1gate robo). either way: If you 3rax pressure with MMG then you kill him AND have decent tech. In my practice against T I we figured out that this attack is safe against any shenanigans P has, to kill T early on from 4gate to voidrays to DTs + it kills an FE + you can get a lucky EMP on sentrys even if hes 1 basing "safely" behind his ramp. qxy even pulled off a win with mass reapers against stalkers. this PL build and anything else only shows one thing: you cannot FE with P in this MU if your not 100% certain that T is FEing. | ||

You can put immense pressure from the front and harass in the back - with the different that a command center certainly is not a medivac - so I think it could work out pretty okay. I really need to try it against a good protoss. If you want we can try it out. | ||
