So what, is this a brag thread about a Bronze level player cheesing his way to Diamond? In that case, congrats, there's only 100.000 other people like you.
If this is an actual strategy thread, well... this strategy has been around since like, day 1 of Beta, and yep it's very strong if it's not scouted and if the opponent doesn't react properly. It stops working when the opponent is good enough to either kill your gates with workers before a Zealot can be built or just defending well, via the usage of worker retreating and just matching your unitcount.
Really suggest you learn to actually play the game instead of relying in gimmicks if you ever want to become decent. It's really bad to cheese your way to diamond since then you can't start playing standard since you'll just get crushed because you're in reality Bronze. Really should have done this in customs, might ruin your whole gaming life and could make you quit relatively soon.

I did 2 gate proxy to get into diamond as well ( 3 months ago i think ). The strat started to get 50 / 50 so i tried some macro games and still won. Macro is actually easy, and will get you above and behind 50/ 50 in lowish mid diamond.

I'm just... so happy TL admins don't see fit to change the format of the board, even after they see posts like this coming up from someone who is proxy 2-gating their way from bronze to platinum. Unreal, guys.

@Bacon-X ... would you like to practice this build with me? I'd sure like to be able to at least know what to do when I face this. I mean losing because you missed it is okay we can blame it on the scouting .. but to lose it even after scouting just means not knowing how to handle the cheese. And I'm sure there are plenty of correct methods to handle this type of cheese when scouted.
Sure let's practice, PM me with your character name and Code  i'm sooo down =D also I just won another one >_> on a 6 win streak in diamond league here lmao xD

Ya it is too easy to scout. Also all they have to do is lay down a forge if you scouted it too late and place 2 cannons and you are basicly safe. Then kill the 2 gates and 4gate push him lol.

Sorry If I came off to you as a troll. But in all honesty, I am not. I simply have the intention to increase people's awareness of this build as a very powerful one! Okay... so... I will explain to you my story of how I discovered it. Again, I had no knowledge of this... (only got the game 3 weeks ago).
I was a bronze league noob, playing standard. Only looked at liquipedia for standard builds, and found success with those. I was rank 1 bronze With 1337 Bonus Pool, and 1337 Points on the ladder (that was my last day in bronze). Not kidding either, here are the screenshots that i took that day:
Rank 1 and 1337 bonus pool:

And here are my points on the ladder:

Hilarious? Yes. So I thought It was a prophecy come true, that I was destined to become 1337 at this game.
Being rank 1 in bronze I decided to try out crazy rush techniques (I was looking to try out crazy rushes that I'd imagine seeing pro Koreans do) because I felt like screwing around and having some fun. I started out doing cannon rushes (found out those aren't so great). Kept on doing rushes until I found that one which worked wonders for me (really good win streaks). And that one that worked wonders for me is this very build I'm talking about in this thread.
I went from Bronze to silver (was very excited about that at the time.). Kept on winning a few games and all of the sudden BOOM! Gold! I was sooo happy. And I thought "well, let's find out if this can take me all the way to diamond". And I pursued this goal and then at platinum about to be diamond I created this thread to show people the success they can have with this build! Now I am diamond with 115 wins and 61 losses. Good ratio yes?
And that's the story.. Please don't think I'm a troll, I am truly not. I wanted to share this build. Oh and those screenshots are legitimate, not photoshopped or nothing. Added those because they were real and made my experience more interesting.

You should thank the the bronze - low diamonds that you have used this build against.
That's a nice coincidence though.

You have got to be kidding me. I feel like i'm getting trolled.

There's a lot of noob people in diamond you know...

This is pathetic, no other words for it.

Diamond was supposed to be for good players T_T

This works on me on 1 of my 3 opening builds as zerg most of the time, around @2500 diamond no problem 
If I open hatch first, you'll win. If I open 10 gas / 11 pool, or 14 gas, 14 pool, you lose. Because I suck And unless I know your starting location, won't find you unless I am lucky in order to stop going 14 hatch blind most likely.

Your now in diamond but if anyone looks at your match history after a game I doubt they would give you any respect for it. I don't see what this proves? I'll admit I have used this after a losing streak but I don't rely on this single build.
This question can be directed at any continous cheeser, how is it any fun; that's what I really dont get?

Hahaha, yeah I remember that being a standard build in the first month of the beta Some other tactics were building two barracks and then flying them into the oppenents main behind the steam vents on metalopolis and general unrefined korean warpgate shinadigans.

Cheese rush noob.

Too bad you don't actually get GOOD. Sure, you're diamond. You might even be a high diamond. But against any decent player, you don't even stand a chance.

Scout on 9
See no pylon in base
