EPTNo longer will i have to be afraid of the early pressure from a terran, nor do i have to worry about falling behind by a delayed expo.

You lose a lot of oomph if your Zealot and Probe are not able to attack the bunker/scv's and you are not able to threaten a runby. Better opt for Voidrays if you intend to pressure him early on in case of wallin. Indeed, wallin and marauders from 2 rax prevents you from doing any demage with this build and with 2 gates and resources invested in stalkers you are vunerable to any early marauder agression. But otherwise it's an excellent build. | ||

I think it actually works well with close spawns and if terran goes for banshee rush, cuz he has only rines to defend. | ||

anyways i have made some adjustments to this build lately to get a faster nexus and a quick robo after it but before the first warpin... this way i blind counter 2 rax and have a robo quick enough to deal with 1 1 1..... or do a 2 base histers immo timing push. Now this will benefit from 1.4 due to the immo and wp buffs. so its my standar opener again now | ||

I actually quite like that concept, at least if I read it correctly. He didn't bring sentries to FF off the SCVs and bust the bunkers but was quite deliberately sniping the workers. You're a lot better than me Alej and have a lot more experience trying different types of pressure builds, do you think as others do in this thread that the WG nerf has limited the effectiveness of such early pressure, and if not what openings do you specifically employ? I mean one build that I definitely feel is sub-optimal is the old aggressive 3 gate, expanding behind it. The warpins come that little bit later which makes the aggression less effective, and the expansion is pretty late so makes holding hardcore 1 base builds that much more difficult. | ||
