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:

http://drop.sc/67279


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.


Go to the unit tester and try 15 hellions against 10 stalkers. Hellions are really good against tier 1 protoss.

Edit: They are however pretty food inefficient.

this build is absolutely ridiculous to play against as a protoss. kudos.

I just saw forGG do something just like this build, with a couple of siege tanks after helion harass. Works really well ^^

Thanks for this guide.. This is the first time I'm using an all-in build, and so far I have only failed once (no expo at 9mins, he had multiple sentries and I forced the ramp -.-).. For once, I'm quite happy that immortals are a waste of ressources on their part when you got 4 banshees tearing them apart.

thx for the guide i will try this, also i have a question,

if u wall off and bunker behind it, not only u are safe against proxy gates and fast 1zealot 1stalker push, u also dont need to worry about getting a second bunker versus a 4gate.
any reason for not walling?

Try defending a 3 gate void with a wall. Then youll see why theres no wall at the start.

word, and also, the probe harass at the beginning is annoying when you pre-emptively wall in at the beginning

this is so annoying to play against. i've lost to it about 4 times and every single time i went in planning everything from the start knowing he would do this build. i tried one base collosus and he just waited longer and got vikings and tanks, tried phoenixes but theyre kind of pointless imo. then i tried 1 gate expanding into mass gateway units but the hellion harass ALWAYS damages me no matter what. you have to basically shut that down perfectly without losing anything to win i feel like. it sucks because everytime i knew the drop was coming but unless you just kill the medivac before he drops he will always get at least 4-5 probes or more

I dont no why a wall with rax at the beginning is bad? i always wall in with rax, produce 3 marines, lift a little bit away and build a reactor. Just put a bunker in the wall and im fine and in the same situation as you.

And i think this build counters 3 gate void allin. Just cancel the medivac and produce viking/s. im fine with this.

what you are think?

Wow, I can't emphasize how much I love this build

I'm mid Diamond on EU and been having huge problems with TvP lately (like 20% WR probably). With this build, for the last 2 days I only lost 1 game.(my fault, didn't lift depo in time). Finally, it's now Tosses who RQ after playing me

wow this build is sick. 13-1 against protoss since i'm using this build. The only time i lost was due to my bad reaction to a warpprism 4gate. But i managed to win against that in some other games too. Dont know what protoss can do tbh. This build is just melting through them.
