My bad, it was actualy Capoch's build, and it was for PvZ. Interesting though because both builds have the same core idea : getting a fast Nexus directly after cybercore with probe cut and only 50 gaz mined and chronoing warpgate.

Wow, you are right. The core idea is exactly the same, though the build/nexus timing is slightly tweaked. I don't think I'd have the balls to try this against zerg but against 15 hatch I don't see why I shouldnt at least try it

Nice find, and thank you!

I've been doing this build for a while after i saw huk do it in gsl and have a few replays. of course, with practice partner but if you like I'll post them.

but i must say if this build is done right you can go to HTs/immortals/charge-lots which is a great late game style with lots of upgrades.

Probably not now that stim is 30 seconds later. 3 rax has kind've fallen out of fashion anyways.

This build dies to 2rax marine+scv cheese on last-scout spawn. Also, like you said, 2 rax + 5-6 scv pull can be very dangerous on most maps. But yeah, I've been stopping at 100 gas (unless his scv is there) and getting a chrono'ed stalker asap to deny scouting.

Also, if you warp 3 more units proxied, this is great if he has expanded. But if he went 1-1-1, his hellion will be on it's way to your base and if you miss it, he has 20+ seconds to rape your mineral line while your 4 stalkers hike their way back to your main.

So knowing that, it's only natural a reactor'd hellion rush could pose a huge threat. Again, even if you warped your first 3 warp-ins at a proxy, you might miss his hellions leaving his base and he'll have 4 hellions raping your mineral line. If you see this, don't panic while you spam click your stalkers back to base. The best thing you can do is probe-block the ramp. Have like 3 probes (maybe 2 work) at the bottom of ramp, and another 3 on the top of the ramp. That should delay them long enough for your stalkers to chase back to your base. Yes you lose 6 probes but you just gotta take it as a BO-loss.

I've done similar builds to this before, though not as refined. If someone knows what you're trying to do, they can just build an ebay at your expo spot right before you place the nexus. Quite annoying!
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

Looks like the first stalker is quite late. What if the terran opens reaper ? While it's not common, it's not that rare either that a terran produces a reaper for scouting purposes and to harass a bit. Since the stalker is so late, and the amount of probes so low ( 20 ), it sounds like a well microed reaper will have the time of its life in your mineral line..

I was thinking about this. To a terran who does not scout the ninja expo (and why would he!), it looks like a 4gate with a hidden gate because of the gateway timing and the probe cut, or just a very early 3 gate pressure. The only issue would be that he can scout you pull probes off gas which is problematic

Hm, seems nice at first, but I personally don't like probecutting.

I just watched a vod and after 6 minutes (exactly) HuK has 3 Pylons, 2 Nexi, 3 Gates, 1 Core 4 Stalkers and Warpgate done.

So I put this in the Buildorder Optimizer and it gave me this:

Income: 807M 215G
Buildings: 2 Nexus 2 Assimilator 3 Pylon 3 Warp Gate 1 Cybernetics Core
Units: 25 Probe 4 Stalker
Upgrades: Warp Gate Transformation

Without probecutting you can be faster! It even has 2 Assimilators.

Here is the BO:

This build order gets the first stalker much later, though. Testing and/or some theorycraft from experience would be required to decide which build is better.

Some very good points here. There will always be the issue of no gas scv all-in; I'm not sure if you'd be able to see the congo line and marines en route to your base, but I'm pretty sure you hit the last spawn at like 3:20 and the first marine pops at 3:06. In that case I'd cut the 3rd gate in the meantime and chrono out the first stalker to kite across the map while you work on getting additional stalkers out. And absolutely consider forgoing the nexus temporarily.. I'll have a teammate do this to me today. You really should be able to see the helions unless the factory is proxied, so I think it'd be good practice to chase down the scouting scv with your initial stalker by hitting up typical proxy spawns if your initial probe at the front is inconclusive (which is usually is :/) and in the meantime keep your scouting probe by the terran's natural choke. But it's still very possible to not see them coming.

This looks like a really solid guide. I enjoy that it's from the perspective of what a pro does. It would be interesting to take a look at other progamers strategies from this kind of perspective.

I have been doing a very similar build to this with good success. I will have to try this variation and see how it plays out differently.

I've seen him do this build on his stream, and I've seen him lose all the time to bunker rushes, since you're basically going Nexus before units.

Maybe you should add a part about that?

Just some really rough testing gives me the nexus down at 4 mins + 4 stalkers @ 6 mins off a 12 gate. Pretty much the same timing for the stalkers with the mining of 100 vs 50 gas due to the 20s more on WG. I'd be paranoid of getting contained by early 2 rax pressure though...
