"Holy crap your prism colossus micro is absolutely unreal" Colossus was a killing machine! I almost had a heart attack watching, well I won't give details for those who want to see it for themselves but let's just say there were many close calls and I can't believe how well you kept dodging bullets. Well done and Happy New Year! | ||

Theres no way to stop a well-executed 3-rax with Nexus first, especially while teching, period. That said, maybe this could work in tournaments where maps are bigger, like on that frozen map with front door destructible rocks and an expansion inside your base. the only time i've lost to a 3 rax with 15 nex was vs demuslim. and he put a reactor on his first rax to trick me then floated 2 rax from his main to the low ground and rushed me with all his scvs and marines from close air on shattered temple. i almost held it, but then he had 6 more marines because of mule xD every other 3 rax has failed. | ||

I'm not referring to that kind of 3-rax, I'm talking about the 2 tech 1 reactor 3-rax where you hit a timing with stim and concusive shells. In my experience, this build is a lot stronger, as it looks just like a maruder expand and is very hard to detect until when it hits you. I'm not sure your build works against the 2 tech 1 reactor 3-rax. | ||

I pull about half my scv's with my push, and with some micro, its autowin. I've beaten GM protosses who are much better than me by just 3-raxing them whenever I see them going nexus first. | ||

I feel like (and really hope) the level of SC2 players will dramatically increase. Where people will use things like colossi drops, that might be hard to do, but are effective with a lot of skill. The Warp Prism is an interesting unit. The range it can pick up from, and the way it can keep its acceleration, makes it a hard to master unit. One of those micro thingies that SC2 has and starcraft needs to be able to be "easy to play, impossible to master" :D Anyway, thanks so much for making this! It's a great guide ^^ | ||

Certainly looks entertaining and hard to handle if your opponent isn't expecting it. I mean...COLOSSUS in mineral line lol, totally unexpected. | ||

It's just that I saw a weird hellionbased-expand opening by a GM on SEA and he just ran past everything the Protoss player had with like 6 hellions and destroyed his economy (as the guy was warping in his first warp in of 3 zealots, no sentries t_t) | ||
