EPTVersus Terran, 6gate all the way yo. Alternatively you can try an immortal bust (which is basically a delayed 6gate that gets 2 immortals up) or a colossus allin (1gate fe, go into 3gate robo, fast colossus, cut probes at 45 ish, go up to 7 gates or so, attack with 2 colossi with range and a bunch of gateway units).

Always lose to this http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=269312 I hope this helps. Always check proxy locations on maps where proxies are common, especially two player maps, if you are going for a later scout. | ||

If you know it's a 1 rax FE,I would expand 1 gate FE before any units. And then when you get your first units out, threaten the Terran and feign aggression, being mindful of their SCV scout. | ||

Another question. I really have big problems in PVZ. My winrate is probably around 25%. I always try to do a 4gate to not let the zerg drone. But during this push, i have no idea where to spend my money. I rise 1k1 mineral. Where should i spend it ? My last PVZ replay; https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19019177/testTL.SC2Replay im plat | ||

Game: ggCausation PvT on Condemned Ridge 1:48: Made some weird decision to not look for gas. Mistake on my part, dunno why I didn't poke in. 2:58: delayed probe for no reason. 4:49ish: is it always a good decision to poke around with your zealot & stalker? I feel like I should be doing this since it's 5 minutes in and I still have no idea what he's doing yet. 5:54ish: delayed probe 6:13: I saw his push, should've cancelled nexus right there but I forgot about it and never did. My big question after 6:13 is, what do I do from here? I noticed that my unit score in the score summary is always lower than my opponent early game. Is this normal as toss? In this situation, assuming I had cancelled the nexus, do I build a few more gateways and hold, then expand and slowly tech up? Obviously my macro needs work, but against bronze-golds I've played so far for the most part I can outproduce them easily past early game for a win, but in the early game I never seem to have enough. What gives? What do I need to work on for that? One think I can think of is always making sure I have enough resources to warp in from all warp gates exactly when they're up every time. What I'm thinking is constant probes/pylons, units every time gates are up, and then tech/expand with extra resources. If not, then what should I work on? | ||

However what happens alot is terran has a window to attack when scans pile up/gets a raven and I am wondering what is best transition out of dts, colossus, HTs, or upgraded gateway army? I think going for zealot/archon is a good transition after going for a DT opener, since you have the ability already to make archons, and getting zealot legs is really easy. Going for some DT harass after a while at multiple bases might work to stall time, too. Adding a robo is a must for obs, though. Once you start getting more and more gas, start towards colossus tech. I don't know about HT honestly (plat toss), but if you can manage to pull off good storms then go for it. You can get HT as a defensive measure against drops though.

If you're having problems with Terran's macro, you can try delaying their CC by going zealot->core->zealot->stalker+WG. It's worked wonders for me recently and really delays the bunker/CC if successful. QuanticBlack seen doing it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= My own question: What are good (and different) builds for PvP matchup? I'm looking for something to do other than 3gate robo and 4gate. How effective are DT openers in this matchup? I tried it once against a guy going for 3gate stargate for voids, which was pretty much an autowin. | ||

One quick thing, you Chronoboosted your warpgate 4 times, and when it finished, you had 1 whole gateway you could use that tech on. It would have been much better spent on teh gateway itself, you could have gotten a few more stalkers out by the time the push came, and with some decent kiting, most likely you would have been okay. In my own games, I only CB it twice, and I add a second gatway immediately after my nexus--and both gateways are done and morphing at like ~6:10. So unless you are adding some fast gateways, don't CB the Warpgate, that much or even at all. | ||

They have strengths and weaknesses like every other build in pvp, but generally dt openings are ok. Here's a guide: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=318673 | ||
