I go 2 rax reactor marines + tank rush with 3-4 tanks instead


So no starport and banshee if he goes for 1gate fe or nexus first?


yea for nexus first
it depends on the map and the distance of the rush, for 1 gate fe

with force field you have to move extra close to shoot ground army & banshees and hinders zealots to do any dmg
it's trivial tho

Do you mean the kind of 2 rax tank push MVP does a lot? Or 2 barracks both with reactors and push with 3-4 tanks?

This looks a lot like an old season 1 build by iEchoic. Same hellion drop -> marine banshee.

This is a very nice 1-1-1 variant. At least for me, the way I defend 1-1-1 is to use as few stalkers as possible, and just go mass zealot with some immo/sentry support. However, the early hellion drop forces more stalkers from the protoss player which makes the all-in that much stronger.

This build is countered in the same way a normal 1-1-1 is countered (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=250379), except the trick is to not over make stalkers and rely on zealot/immo/sentry in the face of hellions. Hellions don't really counter zealots.

Here's a game I just played against this build:

Making a quick skim through this 1-1-1 all in guide I've managed to pull it off the first time around. Obviously from above ^^ the 2nd time didn't work too well

From my recent discussion with SEA GM players i've learned that apparently mass blink stalker is actually the best way to deal with the 1-1-1, and even more so with a hellion variant. You can sit there and pick off marines and such and just blink away without taking damage, potentially forcing the pdd in the middle of the map. And even when they plant the pdd down, with 20 or more stalkers you can actually focus it down in 2 shots. Since this push doesn't have any tanks, the amount of damage you take from the marines and hellions will be so small (with good micro) that you can potentially ruin the whole push right in the middle of the map.

Could you produce a replay with this counter? I am skeptically a little bit.

A protoss player admitting that hellions suck against zealots. Praise the lord almighty, i'm glad a good level protoss finally fessed up about it on the forums, as many forum warriors will randomly come up in mech/hellion threads saying that hellions are good against zealots lmao.

Sorry, just had to comment on that, as it's a misconception that hellions are good against zealots when they actually suck.

Hellions without pre-ignitor in small numbers don't really counter moderate numbers of zealots when both compositions are mixed. In larger numbers and with pre-ignitor, the zealots melt.

For a 10 minute timing attack with mostly marines and banshees, a few hellions don't deter a zealot composition.

Disagree here. Ever since the Bfh nerf, zealots can do pretty well vs hellions in a mech composition. Even goody has said that mech isn't viable anymore.

This is basically exactly iechoics old build but with +2marines in the drop and the addition of alternative plans. The gas steal is also new which might be key.

I actually got 4gated the other day for the first time in like a month, caught me completely off gaurd and exposed my lazy scouting of 1gas = expand.
