Uhhh so. Does this build work at all in PvP? In our CSL match, our ace Protoss did a very interesting version of this...

He manner blocked his own gas with a Cybercore, indicative of a 4 Gate since it's a 1 gas build. Opponent responded with Sentries to FF his ramp while teching, like usual. However, he used the WP to circumvent the sentries and dropped zealots in the mineral line.

Opponent went to counter attack with 3 stalkers, but didn't have the multitask to micro his stalkers vs zealots and deal with the drop, so he lost the game there. What do you think?

This was High Masters level play by both by the way.

I do a modified version of this build myself (I actually knocked out your teammate Murder in an IPL qual with it). I get 2 more probes, 2nd gate before the robo, 3rd pylon, 2 more gates, 2 more units off the 2 gates, 2 chronos on Warp Prism, then load up everything. The Warp Prism usually loads up right when my WG finishes since I don't spend that much chrono on WG.

Concerning this in PvP, you get into a base trade situation if you do this against an offensive 4 gate, so you aren't completely dead.


Nah you are dead. He has 6 stalkers and theres no way you can have any more than 4 on the first engagement if you warp in defensively, and you won't have the prism in his base until well after his push comes. Not to mention his wg will come ~20 seconds before yours because you got a robo and are expending 2 chronoboosts elsewhere


I've used it on a limited basis in PvP, but I'm low level so enemy 4gate just might have bad timing.

Personally I've found that you can stand a chance against more stalkers. If he wants to proxy and then warp in from there you can easily get his probe and then take down the pylon, if he's stupid he was going to warp in all his units from that pylon and it buys you at least the distance from your base to his.

If he's smart then he already has units out. I found that walling can slow the culling, and if you get the prism out faster (i.e. get robo before warp gate) then you use the zealot stalker zealot into his base, plus 3 stalkers one zealot, and then micro a little bit by putting wounded units into the prism. Warp prisms can tank stray stalker fire (not concentrated, but if that happens then just run away while dropping your wounded) and then just go from there. Take your second gas if needed, and it just turns into 4gate vs. 4gate with a small advantage to the enemy.

(Also because I just saw OP post a few above me (December post), yes that 100 shield points is magical)

This build is still incredibly strong, always nice to have a good all-in build if you feel like 1basing it, nice guide as always, Alej.

thanks! yeah this build is from a long ways back when scrap station was in the ladder pool, but it is nice to have a very strong wild card such as this in a boX situation or just a crazy build to pull off on ladder ^^

This build is great on Metal/Temple and even Shakuras. If the terran doesn't spawn close by air you can always proxy the robo in the base at that position. This works even better sometimes as you will have map control usually anyway with your stalkers and if the terran scans and you place your gates in different spots they will probably think 1 gate expo. And if they don't see the robo, but see the other gates they will make more bunkers in anticipation of a 4 gate, which is not the right response lol.

vs marauder expand close air metal


Sorry if this is a little off topic, but I've been trying to better understand marauder expands. Is this what a marauder expand normally looks like? As in, 1 marauder -> reaper to control a tower and scout, marauder stays at home to allow lowgrounding of expo?

vines used this in game 1 vs gumiho; free to watch

http://www.gomtv.net/2012gsls2/vod/67164

not being close air by any stretch of the imagination, vines proxies the robo which is something i've done on cloud kingdom before.

spoiler: it failed pretty miserably because he warped in stalkers too early. if that was 8 zealots instead of a mix he can buy time for additional warp-ins. instead, he gets out some stalkers that don't do any damage and don't force any retreat to mitigate dps of the first T poke
