Just as a note for those reading this, the VOD is incorrectly labelled on the site as ZeNEXPuzzle vs IMYongHwa. It is ZeNEXFFMon.

this is what I have been doing ever since studying WHite-Ra's PVP, except with 2 stalkers. For the third unit I get out a sentry (chrono'd). Because usually what happens is I manage to snipe his probe, but it gets off a proxy pylon in time. I can't kill the pylon because the stalker+zealot he has delays for long enough that he gets his 4x warp in. So I need a sentry to forcefield in time.

You're not meant to keep the stalkers at your base to snipe the pylon that goes down below your ramp. You're meant to send them out into the map as soon as each one is done to try to find the probe thats making the pylon and kill it, preferably before it ever gets one made, but if it does get one done, you can send the other stalkers to kill it. Warpgate won't be done yet at this point for him.

Yea, obviously. Why the hell would I leave my stalkers in my base? They are the fastest unit in the matchup earlygame

So guess what other MU this makes super nice and easy? PvT! The fast 3 Stalkers are abusive for the same reasons in that MU. Now it obviously needs tweaking but its a safe way to to 2 Gate Robo expand.

This build is a great framework for aggro 2 gate robo's.

2gate Robo was already the sort of gold standard for playing safely in PvT, nothing really changes here its just a different way of doing it.

I know, right.

PvP suddenly went from being "ugh, not again" to "i hope he 4gates so I can crush it and go colossus to kill him easily"

2gate Robo was already existent in PvP, this is just a different way of doing. HOW you do a thing is MORE IMPORTANT than WHAT you do, most of the time. Other 2 gate robo can't get 3 Stalker 1 Zealot and 1 Sentry nearly as fast, in any MU

On that note, I have been cutting the 3rd Gateway for an extra Zealot before Warpgates finish. As a result, my first warp in can be Zealot and Sentry, meaning 4 gates are even easier to hold.

Wow, a 3 gate robo build that actually makes sense..

Thanks so much for the great analysis and explanation!

BO is missing a pylon before robo, you build it in all your replays but when I first tried it after just reading the OP it the build seemed supply blocked for an unreasonable length of time because of that and the wording of the robo 3rd gate bullet made it seem intentional.

This is a quality guide. Times like these I wish there was a seperated section to have just purely guides on there for me to use as references. So hard to keep track of all the guides I've read(Liquipedia isn't enough). Great work Cecil, definitely will play around with this with my friends.
Stay gold.

I usually build that pylon at 24 supply, after ordering your second stalker but before ordering the third.

nicely done! so it best to use this build only if u suspect a 4 gate? what if your opponent does a normal 2 gate or 3 gate robo? how behind will u be economically?

2 gate robo doesn't lose to 4gate just watch tylers stream. One gamble with it is that they teched to colossus faster though so there is still some rock paper scissors
I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.

Nice analysis of this build! Cool to see a PvP build that isn't 4gate.

This sounds awesome, the timing it seems has to be PERFECT or you are going to die to the 4gate. Well time to memorize the build :D thanks for posting.

Great post with great ideas! I like the effort towards cracking the 4-gate trend which is making PvP kind of stale right now.
