Alright, so I tried this in a tournament, and although I was quite confident going in, the Protoss completely spanked me with a 4-gate.

My main question is, after the gas steal, how would you know whether he is 4-gateing or early expanding? If he contains you at the bottom of your ramp with stalkers, do you just scan for the expo, and if you don't see it, throw down two more bunkers?

Not going to post the replay unless requested (because I played terribly), but suffice to say that the 4-gate hit me right as my medivac was going into his base, and I didn't pull SCV's fast enough to repair the bunker.

this is actually a really valid question.

Ah this build slaughtered me on ladder the other day - the reason? I thought the early hellions were just for poking around and he'd switch into tanks, and my obs got sniped with the raven.

Zealot/Immortal doesn't work too well against two port >_>

Only thing I have trouble with this build is blink stalkers, he has a lot of stalkers so drop gets denied easily and once I move out he can kite my forces all the way back to his base significantly weakening the attack.
Do feed the Troll.

I had trouble with this. Best case scenario, I think you are forced to base trade, because he'll be countering while you are attacking.

The only time I have ever lost using this build was against a GM protoss who had like 3 stalkers left at the end of the game.

About pheonix:

I personally switch around slightly if I spot early phoenix. I tend to skip the second port and get an armory for thors instead. From there you just allin him with repairing scvs. I havnt met a single P surviving vs repaired thors when going early phoenix.

If you spot it later you follow what specialist tells you to do!


Cheers
