Your units on the low ground have vision on the ramp, so you warp in a unit as far up as you can, immediately gaining a small area of vision in the main which you use to warp in the rest of your units. If your opponent has invested in sentries to defend your 4 gate, your 4 warped in zealots along with your stalkers firing from the low ground is usually enough to push him back from the ramp. Your stalkers then flood in and it's gg. Wow KcDc u did it again!! I'm in masters and dont even know this trick. You just broke PvP. Better to close this treat to let less people know. Lol. Majority I'll say 95% of Protoss players do not know this and I just knew it from you. This is mainly due to the way Force Field is being created a hexagon shape, where opponent can still warp in from the edges. Good info mate!! We'll see pure 4 gating from now on. | ||

They'res a couple builds I do in PvP: 1. Adelscott 12/17 Gate, making 4 zealots / 2 stalkers, and pressuring your opponents base. From this you can transition into forge expand and then 2 more gates. Or, if you could not do enough dmg in the small early push you can put up forge and 2 gates and then expand. http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/126850-1v1-protoss-jungle-basin#rd:buildorder 2. I do a more econ friendly 4 gate where I never stop makin probes. What I do is not such a fast warpgate research and I make more earlier units. While cyber is finishing I make a zealot, then chrono boost the stalker and the cyber when cyber finishes. Make another stalker and a 2nd gateway at same time. As I'm doing this, I'm patrolling the map for map control and checking for proxies, killing probes and such. My warpgate tech finishes a little later and when it finishes I pressure his ramp. If he's done an aggressive 4 gate I'm ahead. If he techs I get a couple sentries out, make a concave around his ramp while I expand. These tend to work pretty well for me. I'm 2700 diamond. Maybe a little bit low, but I think the difference is just the number of mistakes people make. | ||

There's nothing wrong with getting later warp gate tech but a 4 gate that cuts probes at 20 will absolutely destroy you if you don't cut probes at all. | ||

I believe a 10gate deserves a different reaction, like the 2 gate zealot pressure strat. However, a standard 12 gate warpgate I believe I can beat with econ friendly 4 gate. here is why. If I can control the map and prevent the proxy doesn't that buy me enough time to get my warpgate tech up? plus I have the extra units I was producing out of the gateways before the warpgate comes up. | ||

Any probe after the 16th on minerals takes about 3-4 minutes to pay for itself. Stopping proxy pylons buys you half a minute of time at most, depending on the map. | ||

Ok, but even so, the minute of time it buys me gets my warpgate tech up, and I don't think my extra probes are going to interfere with my production. | ||

It has nothing to do with warpgate tech. Basically every 2 probes you make for awhile is going to be an extra zealot for the other player. Given that the defender's advantage is small enough as is, that extra 2 or so zealots or stalkers that your opponent has more than you is more than enough to give him the edge to win the game. | ||

I'm sorry, I'm still having trouble understanding this. If I can produce off all 4 gates as I build probes, how is this not even. Are you saying that if I make extra probes, I can't continue to produce on 4 gates? | ||

You may have good ideas. But I cannot understand you | ||

Please. The point of a 4gate is that it overwhelms you with units, even if you have higher tech. Micro is key, yes, but numbers just as much. Also, you're not going to be able to get 3-4 sentries, a robo, and an immortal when a 4gate hits. Holding a 4gate off is not easy. | ||

Yup, that's how i usually stop this. I had to practice this with a friend ~10 times to get the FF right to block vision. | ||
