It's a lot more reasonable and still ridiculously strong. You scout at 12 after Gateway, you get an early Zealot and Stalker to protect your proxy pylon probe. WG finishes at 5:30 and after the warp-in you have either 2 Zealots and 5 Stalkers or 1 Zealot and 6 Stalkers. Genius micros poorly and gets himself supply blocked, but if you stop at 20 probes that doesn't happen. 6 Stalkers also 2-shots enemy Stalkers and 3-shots enemy Zealots so... yeah. Very strong build. | ||

I can have a forge and cannons in your base before that. Now thats cheese huh. I really despise thise these kind of posts listen to the newest SOTG Incontrol says that the whats cool about all these all-ins in regards to korean ladder is that it spawns macro and crazy timing builds. You take the base build and expand upon it no one is holding your hand making you use these strategies and if you lose to them thats your fault cause you said before the game I want to play a 10 minute game. If you lost its cause you didn't prepare. TLDR I can 4 gate all day long every game but that doesnt mean I have to push and therefore Im not all in I'm not cheesing? No one is making you push with any of these builds or push to kill. Hell you can push to pressure with these. If you use a all-in build you did that on your own. How you use it is totally up you not every build - insta win many dont actually come to think of it non-of them do. | ||

Just go three gate and a cyber and pump out zealots untill your cyber is done and then transfer to stalkers. Of course you need the warpgate... you want to build a pylon in front of their base to get the reinforcements ASAP. PvP with out Warpgate is just stupid. | ||

If they 10gate and you don't scout then you're screwed, and if you defend initial 2 zealots and don't change your BO then you're screwed. EDIT: After lots of experimentation, I found that this build is a lot safer than I thought against 10gating protoss. I still doubt it can hold up against a 2gate all-in without some build order compromises, but if it's possible to hold off until you get your stalker out then it might be possible. | ||

When these become the strat de jour, a natural counter will become the other strat de jour until another gimmicky build comes along and starts a new cycle. The more I play SC2, the more I'm realizing the game play is fatally flawed compared to BW. Someone didn't play much starcraft in its first year, did they? There's actually a lot LESS cheese in SC2 right now than there was in SC1 back then, because the general concepts on how to stop cheese are known. Everyone as every race did the fastest rush they could, or didnt play melee games because "all that matters is rushing" It was the point that most low level players did no-rush 5-10-whatever minute games because it made the game more interesting, rather than being super super short. | ||

But its not like your totally fucked if you don't end the game right away. The general consensus on TL right now is ... YOU'RE BUILDING PROBES/SCVS/DRONES? That's an all in! | ||

will definitely be trying that out. as for the op, this build would never work against me. My 4gate finishes at 5:25 with a zealot and stalker out before that. Thats 1 z 1s + 2 batches of warp ins = 10 units ready before this build hits, not to mention 1 sentry would ruin this entire build. | ||

however, the build looks convincing as you could probably warp in zealots near the enemy base to cut down on zealot traveling time, making the rush even more effective. | ||

On January 26 2011 21:03 Mitchlew wrote: I was wondering whether or not this could be easily transitioned into a 6 gate attack against zerg. Do the same build, pressure / push the zerg base but don't over commit. Throw down expo as well as 3 more gates and continue a normal 6 gate push. Or would the probe count be too low and make this ineffective. If you're talking pressure/push the zerg why don't just execute the 3warpgate expand or a variation of it? You'll have the option to pressure if you want and you'll have the probe count to continue on to mid/late game with the ability to tech to robo or stargate. If you're commiting to a 4 gate and you want it to actually to do damage, why half ass it? Just do an actual 4gate. Disguise it well and it's insanely strong and will kill or cripple most zergs. When I see a 4gate, the mentality of zerg is 'defend this, and I win'. And most of the time it's true. Once the 4gate is defended and the forward pylon is destroyed, ALL ZERGS will counter attack with zerglings/roaches. Game is basically over. Toss has zero map control, low probe count and no tech. If you try to expand and transition out of a 4gate (which will hinder your 4gate, which results in a lower chance of success), you're just going to die to ling/roaches counter or the zerg will just expand once more and you'll get raped in lategame. | ||
