In what build order will a protoss get a second gate before a core and what should a terran do if he sees it doing the standard 12 rax 13 gas 15 OC? What amount of chronoboost in a nexus at what time supply wise or time wise indicates a 4 gate? | ||

Zealots hold against drops better than stalkers DTs are mostly bad against drops because of their cost and how much you put at stake praying they don't scan when they most likely have 2 OCs at that point. They're inefficient I guess you would say, and cannot kill the drop before it does massive damage to you. | ||

Zealots and stalkers fare rather well. or archons | ||

Also if multiple ways are possible what differentiates them? In what build order will a protoss get a second gate before a core and what should a terran do if he sees it doing the standard 12 rax 13 gas 15 OC? What amount of chronoboost in a nexus at what time supply wise or time wise indicates a 4 gate? 1) Depends on your league and race. At higher levels (masters) a 17-18 gas usually indicates sentries, DT, early phoenix, or early twilight, but not typically robotics. 2) Can mostly speak to the Protoss portion: 2nd gate before core typically indicates early pressure with zealots, so it tells you to watch the gateways. If they are making zealots, I think the proper response would be a second barracks, but not sure; a bunker might be enough but check with your local Terran rep. If you see 2 gates early on, but they aren't making zeals, and the protoss throws down a gateway, it's fast stalkers. These will pop from the gateways at around 4:05 so make sure you've built a bunker and have a good marine count, I think 7-8 is enough to turn them away. If they see that you made a bunker but there isn't much fire coming from it, they will attempt a run-by to get to your M.U.L.E. and scvs. 3) At around 17-19 of your supply, there will be a gateway, a cyber core, and 2 pylons. The nexus will have over 50 energy, and when the cyber core finishes (you shouldn't be driven out of the base until the stalker is done building so you will see when the core is done), the core will research wg tech, chronoboosted, and the gateway will make a stalker, chronoboosted or not. Another soft indication is the presence of 1 geyser even after the cyber core is finished building. | ||

They're inefficient I guess you would say, and cannot kill the drop before it does massive damage to you. You don't warp in 4-8 DTs at once and nothing else and charge them at the drop, you make 1-2 along with pure (charge) zealots. This is much more effective than pure zealots. Just don't warp in stalkers, those might as well have 20 hitpoints with how quickly a 2 medivac drop takes them out. God the nightmares :< This will also completely sap the Terran's wanting to drop in the future, because he knows he will have to put up with having to look out for DTs every time he drops, IN ADDITION to making sure his main army and every single expansion is covered with missile turrets. | ||

Zealots and stalkers fare rather well. or archons Yeah drops rarely come in anything but 1s or 2s, so since I typically go HT my stalker count is slightly less than normal, so I do 3zeals and 1HT and warp in more zeals if I can't kill the medivac with fb. The fb makes the dropped troops not as effective since no heal compounds the negative effects of stim, but if no HT, about 2-3 zeals and 4 stalkers is good. Warp in near there if it looks like it could go in the Terran's favor. | ||

Third, you basically have 2 mid game options in PvP (ignoring stargate). Robo or twilight. If you go robo, you have an obs already. If you go twilight (such as blink), you just have to pray your opponent doesn't go DT, or get a pre-emptive forge+cannon which will weaken your attack, but there's not much you can do. Or you go robo for obs + blink, which again makes your blink attack a little weaker but at least you'll have obs for DT. If you go cannon just place 1 in your mineral line, or place 1 by your nexus but surround it by buildings. There's no need to spread out several. If a DT comes, then start your robo ASAP, but your base construction should allow that 1 cannon to protect everything or at least mostly everything. So if you plan to go the blink route, your should start with this tight base layout in mind from the beginning. What is wrong with adel's pvp opening? What do you suggest is a good robust opening build as an alternative? kcdc 2 gate robo? 3 stalker robo? | ||

On a lot of maps Terrans drop hellions so DTs and Zealots aren't really a good unit base to have, the key that holds the thing together is still the stalker presence since it destroys the medivac. Medivac is a high priority target because of the small amount of units that will be in the engagement, that your dps can't outmatch the combo of the opponents DPS plus it's damage mitigation. If you don't kill the medivac, your eye is going to be watching that medivac for a lot longer than it should or than you can spare. | ||

(never play toss) Damage doesn't stack. There is only 1 level to the template, though with multiple storms you can cover a larger area. Each storm still only lasts the normal duration, so you as a player have to manage when you throw the storms (I usually don't blanket right away since T can easily stim run away from a giant blanket of storms) | ||

If a toss is going 17-18 gas for lots of sentries, do they usually follow it up with an expand or a timing push and if they expand what time does the expansion go down? What are key indicators of fast colossus? | ||

Dreamhack spoilers + Show Spoiler + HuK actually held a 6 pool doing that build on tal darim in the dreamhack finals vs moon. He went forge first and when he saw the 6 pool he quickly used a gateway and i think a pylon to block off completely while the cannon is going up. Go check out the game its the final of the series | ||
