Does anyone have replays for 3gate expand (not FFE on shakuras or tal darim)?


These days, people have realized that 3 gate expand is a bad build (like RSVP above me said). It might be ok if the zerg is saccing econ to all-in or semi all-in you, but against any fast hatch and/or heavy droning builds you're ridiculously behind. I'm a huge advocate of forge expands. Very safe against all-ins assuming stargate follow-up. On maps with wide open naturals though (i.e. Xel Naga Caverns, Metalopolis, etc.) the current trend is to sentry expand off 1 gate.

3-gate expand just isn't safe anymore. I'd suggest you take a look at MC and Naniwa's replays from MLG Columbus. You almost have to go void-ray expand (or vise versa) or DT expand (or vice versa)

I like that you included how strong stalkers were against slow lings but I think you could elaborate on how to exploit that. Since if you get a stalker after your zealot against a guy who open speed lings you can pretty much only clear your tower before having to run home.

Perhaps you should specify when you can actually use your stalker(s) to harass.
For example, you scout pool-hatch or hatch first. Note the timing of the extractor- you have 3 minutes and several seconds before speed is done from the time it begins construction. You can either just go stalker after the first zealot to harass with a single stalker or do this old build that I've been revisiting lately-

you can make it safe. MC also did this 1 gate, 2gas sentry expo --> 3 gates where he chronoboosts out sentries from the one gateway before putting down the nexus. Gates #2/3 are built at the appropriate time for the (now-later) warpgate tech research. I think there is only 1 or 2 chronos on the warpgate research.
