Its my first RTS and then someone like you comes along and proxy double 10 gates his way to diamond. Sigh* I am consoled in the fact that when you try a macro game it won't end up too well probably. | ||

Im like you but i started 2 weeks ago and am just breaking into silver. I think I am an expert at fighting cheeses because of how often thye have tried it on me. I think protoss definitely has the easiest cheeses. When I scout and I see no assimilators I usually expect some early zealot harrasment so I wall off, build an extra rax and churn out marines. Then when I am pumping rines out of 3 rax I like to go for upgrades and try to get out some medivacs and siege tanks. | ||

Even if I scout the gates warping in, the protoss can just cancel the gates after I pull a bunch of probes and end up ahead economically. If I bunker up the mineral line, I will still take losses and then bam, stalkers hit. dont use bunkers then, its always best to use production structures as walls than building extra structures that slow down your economy. Also you should be able to keep your scv alive until the gateway is completed unless he pulls probes off of his mineral line which is in itself a small victory. | ||

I refuse to believe someone is this ignorant. This has to be a troll thread. Oh God please make it stop. | ||

on maps like scraps station with a big ramp, two gating isn't all that bad, once you start playing diamond you're going to have to learn to do more than a 5 minute game. | ||

By 2g i mean (pylon-gate-assim-pylon-cyber-gate) add in a robo / tech choice building or even expansion and you would be surprised how big of an army you can make off 2g. scrap station is the worst to 2g on because of the rush distance... and the 2g proper timing comes around the 6 - 6:30 mark if your talking about proxy 2g all in, then yes. proxy 1g is a sacrifice you make by saying "im going to put my second gate + cyber in my main, but use the 100m(pylon) and 150m(gate) as a sacrifice to deal as much economic damage as possible to my opponent." | ||

Probably not a bad idea to make an extra queen before expansion as well. Keep drones from dying. | ||

BTW as toss when I scout this (or their empty base) I look for cannon rush in my base and below my cliffs while going 3 gate zealot rush to counter. Usually, once I've held it off, I get a sentry out and I rush to dt's after that and take my expo.  BM guaranteed. I just go into standard pvp after that (colossus and lots of gateways) to ensure the win. | ||
