You can roach / ling / bane off 2 bases against any race. Obviously your own execution and your opponents reaction will determine if you win or not. | ||

I've taken a few month break from Starcraft and I'd like to get back into it by streaming myself going from gold back to masters with only blink stalker all ins. The only problem is, I've been out of Starcraft enough that I don't know any good build orders anymore, and I'm having trouble figuring out which builds on websites are legit and which aren't because I'm so out of the meta. If you guys could help me out and just post links to a blink stalker all in for each match up, I would be forever grateful. e: here are ideas: PvT http://imbabuilds.com/hots-protoss/hots-pvt/pvt-sages-blink-all-in/ -- this looks ok PvZ http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/7_Gate_+2_Blink_Stalker_All-In -- from WoL -- is there a better version PvP http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/8891580125 -- not sure about this one, really old | ||

As someone who plays random, it honestly depends on the matchup. Zerg can end games fairly quickly vs z and t but not protoss. Protoss all ins are strong only if you can deny scouting, but proxies are easy to scout, and if you take double gas with a late expansion, they're easy to hold. Overall I'd say 1 base Terran plays are the strongest since you can deny scouting so early, and the variables of addons make it really really hard to prepare adequately. Also you can never tell if a Terran has a cc high ground. | ||

Because I feel like Ling Bane aggression always gets shut down by Sentries and Roach all in's are held off with MS Core and Photon Overcharge. What I'm looking for is for some 2 Base all in maybe fast Hydras (don't know if that works) or 2 Base Swarmhost. Thank you already if you have some suggestions because I'm getting tired of always Roach/Hydraing  | ||

I want to ask - 1) What is the maximum number of gateways that 2 bases can support (Eg. In BW the max number is 8) 2) What is the advised number of gateways/tech/supply I should get before getting a third base ? I know it depends on the situation , but lets say im going for a blind build (Eg. In BW PvT , protoss can safely get a third with 6 gateways) 3) What is the optimal time for me to upgrade charge if I were opting to go for a marco game ? Do I get it asap with my second base running or when I decided to push out ? 4) At what stage will protoss start to show their aggression ? (Eg. In BW PvT protoss start showing aggression once they secured 4 base with arbiter , in PvZ protoss start showing their aggression with 2 base + storms + speedlots + goons) | ||

2) Once you get to full 2 base saturation (22 workers on each base), you really should be looking to attack or get 3rd. 3) Charge is usually a pretty late upgrade. Most people favour getting blink first. Unless you are doing a chargelot / archon timing, you should probably get blink first and then charge later when you get 3rd and start getting templars (templars are gas intensive but cheap on resources so you will have lots of spare minerals to dump into zealots). 4) Unless protoss is planning a 2 base attack, they never attack before full 3 base saturation. Literally, they don't move out of their base at all. Once they have 3 bases they make their deathball of collosi / high templars / whatever else they want and they can attack then, but generally they will look to get 4th and cannon it up. Basically protoss is the turtle race in SC2. | ||

This is without -any- other kind of production. 2) Tech/supply really depends on your style and the match-up, but at the highest level toss usually try to get their third down on three gates before adding 3-4 more. You have to have some kind of tech done or on the way, or a significant amount of gateway units to expand like that, though (e.g. colossus done or on the way). If they can't take it safely at 10:00, they'll add on gates and try again. 3) Depends on the MU, and your style. Generally on two base in PvT/PvP though. 4) In a normal game, PvT toss usually tries to turtle until they get colossus high templar, so generally around 14:00 onwards Protoss really begins pushing. PvZ Toss usually has layers of aggressive timings to try and force Zerg to make drones. ex: zealot stalker msc poke --> stargate --> +1 4 gate --> start pushing when 3rd colossus finishes. PvP you're pretty much making hallucinated phoenixes the entire game with near perfect information of your opponent's comp, so you can be attacked at almost any time barring colossus mirrors where its really hard to attack into someone. All of these questions can be answered by watching vods, though. Check out vods of Rain, his style pretty much defines standard for Protoss. | ||
