So frustrating. So let me put on my theory crafting hat...5 Zealots 8 Stalkers... That's pretty heavy stalker numbers, but I have a feeling 2 gate robo would be too slow to get units out. Maybe if you treated it like the MMM of terran from when the game was young, i.e. you FF ramp until you tech up sufficiently, maybe then 2 gate robo would work. I don't see any reason why that couldn't work. In the 2 gate robo build you get a few sentries anyway, and I don't care if I annoy him with FF, as long as he doesn't kill me I'm happy. So that could work actually. I know it is timing attack, but I feel that any purely ground based timing attack is stopped with FF at ramp pretty much consistently. It's all a matter of being aware of it right when you see units at your ramp, i.e. maybe get an early obs so no overreaction. Or go the zealot archon mix, which was described in this thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=170704 and seems to work well against timing attacks once you get the archons up. As I said before this is all theory crafting, and I don't like the idea of just thinking of a BO win to this as some in thread are describing. In my theory crafting I like to think of ways of beating my opponent with good BO that can be used into the late game. | ||

I think that would be too tech heavy, and you would lose because of a lack of army. | ||

In fact, most of these protoss early all-ins require micro to make or break it (get zealots to the front, focus fire down key targets asap like sentries or enemy stalkers while avoiding as much damage as possible, etc) Against better opponents, and well-prepared ones, you'll need more micro to even come away even (do some damage), or else you're screwed and behind on tech/econ. | ||

I played around using this and it works surprisingly well against terran o_o Sure does, 1st game I used it after mastering it I completely steamrolled a terran, second game; same dude, I did the same build again and even though he had a ramp block and 3 bunkers I almost busted through. It's insanely strong and even leaves you with enough money to grab an expo right after you start pushing. Great stuff lol. | ||

Important stuff is earlier. | ||

I bet most people would open robo in response to that, which is exactly what you want with this build. Sneaky! You can't deny scouting until a stalker comes out though. This build is very scoutable. | ||

What piss me off a little bit, is that many people call such builds as "no skill needed". It actually requires good micro, which is a skill I suppose. I like micro and I like to be aggressive as soon as possible so I don't get why people would want me to play it other way. | ||
