Usually 10 gate is done to get a 3 wpg stalker rush. By going 2 gate instead he has the minerals to make a zealot to help his earlygame map control and more proxy pylons. How I would play against it... If I scout his build before 18 supply I would go 3 stalker (no chrono). If my scout is too late and I only have 1 gate, I guess I would get a sentry after stalker.. What I would do though is during the skirmishes I would shift-queue my scout probe back into your base and if I see only 2 gates I would warp a pylon in your base/mineral line. So as long as I can stay alive, I can warp in zealots into your minerals, and 2 gates cannot possibly hold 4 gates zealots. (your army is going to be out on the map too) | ||

Every time I play, if my opponent goes blink stalker, sure I have an immortal, but when I do a 2 collo w/ range timing push, he already has archons. Because of the twilight tech, I feel that ultimately, the weakness of this build is that if the opponent goes for a blink based build, and they are smart enough to go archons, you will vcome out the loser in the end. | ||

I worked out some of the timings against Zerg, but I don't know how effective it will be at defending a 2 base baneling bust after you force a lot of speedlings. Also, vs Terran, this build could be similar to the Naniwa build where he does a 2 gate pressure into expand, but it will come earlier. Anyone think it's viable in all matchups? Only thing I can think of is maybe getting an easy win against a Zerg that delayed their Vespene by a long time, letting you wreak havoc with the early Stalker warpins. | ||

Yeah I was thinking against Hatch first or just late gas in general this could rock....but against Speedling expand could you warp-in pure zealots at the Proxy instead to force lots of lings? The timing would still be pretty early and I don't think they would have a lot of larva/units at the timing, right? | ||

I feel this is too easily countered and doesn't usually do any damage.. if they see 10 gate they just get out a couple more units and they can easily kill the proxy pylon because it has to be right in their natural | ||
