EPTDoes anyone have a really optimized 2gate stargate build? I've been doing zealot-stalker-zealot-stargate and it's been working fine for me but I'd like some crisp timings to practice.

I recommend you watch hero vs shelth on shattered temple from the last MLG. | ||

So here's my question: With the advent of the 1-1-1, can 2-gate robo expand still be considered a "safe" opener? Can it scout the all-in coming and respond to it with an army that can hold the push? | ||

This way you won't have to figure out if 2gate robo can scout 1/1/1, you can just do the optimal build in the majority of your games. Although, this is platinum level, so it's quite possible my Terran opponents just aren't putting on enough pressure when I 1gate FE. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=141155 Antimage did a guide on doing a 1 gate 1 stargate. The whole guide pretty much applies to the 2 gate version of it. You just need to mod the build order which I think becomes: 9 Pylon 12 Gateway#1 14 Gas#1 15 Pylon 17 Cyber Core 18 Gas#2 Zealot (unit#1) Que Stalker (unit#2) and Start WarpGate Tech (Chrono stalker and wg once) [only once each]) Pylon 26 Stargate [4:31] Sentry (unit#3) 31 Gateway#2 34 VoidRay (Chronoboost) Low Ground Pylon 40 Nexus and send VoidRay to Harass Phoenix Forge (before Nexus is done) Recent example of the build in action: + Show Spoiler + Game 3 of Hero vs CrazymoviNG GSL Nov Code A Ro.48 Link | ||

I can't think of up to date super safe pvp stuff, but for pvz http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=232007 has some expo builds from mlg that might pass as safe (up to monk to decide since I'm awful  ). I've been losing quite a ton lately and I'm looking to reevaluate all my openings and styles for each match up. With winter break coming I'm kinda expecting other college students to be looking to play some and if there is an up to date thread on safe builds to get us going again. | ||

(i hate doing a 4-gate or being 4-gated) also first TL post It's too safe in master league. If you are not master league it's still a good build to work on. If you feel you've outgrown the build and you can tell by yourself that it is too safe, you can do the same build with only 2 gates and minimal probe cut ( i talk about it in the phoenix thread ). 3 stalker openings are good but much much harder to play. What league are you in ? And welcome to TL | ||

pvp is by far my worst matchup, 40% winrate verses p against 65% vz and 55% vt so the 3-gate build would be good to use for me until i get much much better? thanks | ||

Follow it up with a robo and you're set for the mid game You can try experimenting yourself with it and see what you can cut etc... based on how confortable you feel. PvP is one of the most personalized match-up, I don't think anyone does the same BO. You have to chose a build, and adapt it to your playstyle | ||
