[D] Stalker rush - 5 stalkers at 5 mins - Page 2

Done by nony?

Or a similar build was done by nony (liquid tyler).

Basically 10 gate, 13 gas, 15 cyber, 20 gate, 28 gas, and poke with 2-4-6 stalkers.

Gives 4 gate a hard time because it isnt done in time and usually has less unit count.

Well I took this build into customs, and the only person it worked on was a bronze terran. Vs. the protoss, he managed to get an immortal out, which i killed, but he took out too many of the initial stalkers. Vs. zerg they just made zerglings off a FE. Theres no way to micro against them without losing the proxy pylon from what I can tell. The terran rallied rines at me which was no problem. Then i got to his ramp and he had 2 rauders which 5 stalkers clean up easliy.

an immortal.. really?

I love this build cuz its just liek the 3rr <3 Love that cheese

How could he have an immortal out? Even if he rushed it with 10gate he should not get it until 5:30-6:00.

so are you supposed to cut probe production at 12?

Yes, 12 probes is enough to support constant stalkers and pylons.

Interesting build that looks pretty aggressive to me.
of course if its well scouted it can be shut down but then everything thats well scouted gets shut down to a certain degree. but not all players scout perfectly. in that respect it has potential to cause trouble.

not sure it fairs well against a 3 rax (2x tech 1x reactor) build though.
by the time the toss makes it to the top of the ramp there's a terran welcoming party already in place.
...recovery thereafter looks mighty grim.

1. The build fits together, so good job. ~5:00 is the best possible time though. You are not going to get 4:47.

2. Comparable to 8p, 10gate, 12gas, 13core+gate in BW. There is a thread on the topic pvt long time ago, but I cant find it easily. Can catch a lot of people with pants down, but I suspect as long as opponent scouts it fast enough, cuts workers right away and masses unit+uses worker to hold off they should be able to hold and end up with slightly better economy...which is exactly the way the game should be.

But starting with 6workers+warpin probably makes this stronger than comparable bw play, so interesting to see how races will respond to this.

just thought i'd chime in, so after seeing this, being a super non cheesy player i figured i give it a shot, see how it feels.

it feels awsome and awards great micro especially vs zergs, tested vs 2 2200+ zergs, one being 2400 and vs anything other than 12 pool or earlier, u have a strong chance of winning the game out right, or at the very least sniping queens and overall controlling the game.

no replays, they asked me not to, and since i dont cheese in ladder its gonna hafta wait till i play with different friends who dont mind uploads xD

gl everyone, not sure why so many negatives, works great vs zerg, and hits before tech lab is up vs terrans. alot of terrans past 2200 dont wall off, and just rax close to CC in which case its almost GG if not scouted in time and even if it is, bunkers are the only response and stalker work well vs 1 bunker with just marines. vs toss its iffy, i havnt tested it yet but if it hits before a 2nd sentry, u should almost win every time, as they'd prob go 2 gate before cyber if they scout ur super fast gate way with a 9 scout.

The build order optimizer isn't optimized for workers yet. You can easily get away with an almost normal worker count while still executing the strategy. In theorie, you can get 5 Stalkers and 3 Warpgates at the 5 minute mark with ca. 20 workers. Sounds alot healthier than going complete all-in with 12 workers.

I dont see this working, sorry.

My problem is this, sentries are sooo easy to get that I can FF the ramp, I would know that you are building a proxy if you bring a probe into my base with your build. So I think it would play out as you sending 5 stalkers up my ramp. I ff it to keep some in and some out. pull the in stalkers further in my base as to no be shot by low ground stalkers. continue warping in, and eventually swing the lead in my favor, maybe I have to pull some probes... maybe I dont.

TL said that I should be constructive with my posts so Ill add this. Sacing eco Is never a good Idea, SC2 is an economy game. More units are always the thing to have, yes, but I feel its not a viable thing to do because there is little fallback plan.

I play protoss and have lost to 7rr, I know how that one feels. I however have crushed a 7rr with getting 1 gate then 1cyber then 1 stargate then my second gateway, making the units I had money for. I spent no cronoboost on warpgate, instead spent it all on probes. (gassed at 14 and at 3/4ths cyber core completion.)

I tried this and won a game with it. However, I was not able to keep constant stalker production after the first 7 or so because of gas shortage, so I had to mix in zealots. Is this expected with this build?

This works really well in PvP and PvT but in PvZ its not that good. If they scout it (and they will) then all they have todo is mass speedlings to defend it, or run lings into your base unless you wall yourself in using the pylon + 2gate + cyber. If you can catch the zerg as hes droning though just run in snipe the overlords and its pretty effective.

Even met some guy twice in a row so he was expecting me todo it, and went defensive 2gate mass zealots. Won as I was able to kite the zealots to keep in his base, cut stalkers and get DT's. It works like Gnails old 2 stalker rushing, killing units for the snowball effect but stronger.

With good micro because of the constant production you do not even notice the econ sacrifice. Better than using zealots by a long stretch.

People are forgetting that in PvZ you will always have at least a little while to harass with stalkers before speedling research finishes. I'd rather go for 2gate chrono stalkers though, so you can abuse that window to the maximum.

i think this could work in pvz actually wouldn't it be just as effective to get out 2 zealots for a quick 3 stalker 2 zealot push at the 5 minute mark

You'll be amazed how effective this is by skipping 1 single stalker, getting 4 instead of 5. You can warp in stalkers to contain while getting out a void ray or DT within the next 2 minutes, or expand at the same time.

So yeah upon further inspection, 4 stalkers is better than 5.
