Yes, to a certain extent. Of course, in reaction to the new double reactor builds, there have been new versions made.

I actually consider that an entirely different build. It's too far removed from this build to be considered the same imo. Again, I do have replays of Creator doing it, but I can't give them out. However, robo bay into double forge is very very common, so you shouldn't have problems finding replays.

To supplement this, look at Genius' TSL4 qualifier replays. He does this in almost all of his PVTs.

Yea, I recall Genius does this a ton. Mana used to as well, but has since switched his style up a lot.

Hi TL,

i lost to a Terran who did the Medivac Push with 5 Rax instead of 3 Rax. He had +1 and cut scvs at 50. He stimmed at 12:30. I had 65 Workers and 4 Stalkers in my Main. And i couldn't hold the stimmed Bio Army with Forcefields
What can i do the next time, when i see more then 3 Rax? Only 1 Forge? 3 additional Gates before Twilight? Faster Koloss?

Sry, for the bad english

Yes, you need to have a colossi by that time. Read the additional notes in the past few pages as well as the very start of the guide.

Just my personal experience, if terran is 2 basing stop probes and pump units. Its easy to die to 2 base terran.

How would you respond to the 5 rax 2 base all-in with vikings + scvs pulled commonly on entombed with this build?

Monk's OP already covers this. You place 1-2 cannons to help defend. I imagine you also need to use FFs to buy time or cut part of the terran army. Probably should have at least 1 colo by then too.

Could anyone please post a recent replay of this build with the modifications for the medivac timing push? I'm trying to learn it, and VODs don't help that much.

how many warp in cycles are you supposed to use while getting all your tech? i usually build a zealot and a stalker out of my first gateway, and then go up to 3 sentries, then tech really hard (assuming standard 10 minute medivac timing) and only then start warpiing units in. I tend to end up with too few units by the time the terran gets to my base though.

Any idea why Creator seems to have stopped using this build? In recent tournaments, his go-to macro build at the moment seems to be being greedy with gas followed by an early robo bay and only getting forges about a minute or so after that.

I think it has to do with more top terrans getting used to his style and hitting timings with vikings where they pull all scvs and hit before storm tech is ready. Therefore he mixes in some variety-- like building one colossus without range for a little bit of safety but then bee-lining to storm and charge (so terran over-commits to vikings and is caught off guard with your quicker tech switch).

That being said, the creator style is still great and you should be able to use it on ladder successfully up through GM since it depends more on your mechanics/control/macro/scouting than the metagame or "build" itself.

In general, heavy (3ish with range) colossus openings are used less and less because as Erik.TheRed said they leave you quite open to 2port viking timings, with or without scv's (even tho with scv's it's even more deadly), so people are favouring opening Templar instead of figuring out how to hold those timings with Colossi.

I personally gave up on the heavy upgrades into colossus style because it was so hard to stay alive, much less defend drops efficiently and move out on the map to take expansions and *gasp* put pressure on Terran. Granted, I didn't work hard at perfecting my execution of the style, but it felt like too much tech spending to me. I'd imagine that the pros have similarly dialed back their upgrade spending in order to get a little more army and have a better shot at defending a reasonably timed third base.

And Teoita's right--people are also dialing back on their colossus production to get templar earlier. It still seems to be more common to go colossi into templar rather than templar into colossi, but we don't see players open with 5 colossi anymore. Now they usually get 1 or 2 colossi and then switch over to storm.

I'm not exactly sure why they bother with the 1 or 2 colossi. Support bay and thermal lance is lot of spending for tech you're not going to use much early on. I'd imagine it has to do with feeling safe with colossus openings and finding it difficult to go straight into templar.

To be precise they either go 3 colossi with range (and die to 2port viking xD) or one without, i've never seen 1-2 with range in a competitive game forever.

creator is starting to go robo bay before ups alot now and also I see him go for really fast 3rds in response to 1 rax fe on maps that have long long rush distances like cross entombed or metropolis.
people say practice is perfect but if nothing is perfect whats the point in practicing?
