Sorry it took a while, added a replay of me playing on ladder last night. This is how you should be using Blink to punish people doing the ever popular Immortal Expand.


Would you also allin an immortal expand if you went robo first and made a few immortals? I find that i can hit with blink and about 3 immortals ready right as his nexus finishes at around 9 mins, and that's often enough to overwhelm anyone without blink (if he's going 3gate robo expand; i have never faced an expo as fast as the one in the replay you posted).

I do not know! Sorry!

Here's a replay to analyze for you guys! See if you can figure out what I did wrong to lose this Blink game: http://drop.sc/42993

+ Show Spoiler [Answers] +
-I was too fast to blink away from the battle when I charged up his ramp with Stalkers. I probably could have picked off a couple Sentries with better control.
-My army was slightly too late to cut him off as he tried to walk down his ramp for the first time. This caused me to lose my change to pick off a free 5-6 Stalkers. Very bad engagement due to this.
-Didn't get up enough gates for my Expo (2 were idle at a key moment), and cancelled my templar archives???



+ Show Spoiler +
Since you know he has invested in a forge and lost his expo, which means he isn't going to be aggressive for a while, doesn't it make sense to also expand faster than you did? Despite you killing off his expo, you had a relatively low probe count, with a faster expo you might have had more units to hold off his immortal push.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Oh good point! I definitely could have tried to expo faster instead of trying to just kill him, and failing really hard lol.

Is it viable to get a dark shrine rather than a templar archives? I am not sure how strong storm is against deathballs but wouldn't dts allow you to get more map control. I may even cause your opponent to make mistakes from not having enough observers in the map/moving the entire army to deal with dt harass which opens up the blink into main/natural. Heck, if you are smart enough, when you engage, you can snipe their observer and let the dts deal the damage.

Plus, I think that dts would be cheaper on the gas than templars. 50 gas per archon if I am correct.
