When is the build basically dead though when you play? I'd assume you need to deal significant damage before warp gate finishes for your opponent. | ||

just like normal 2gate proxy, you will die if you don't scout in time, but unlike the normal 2gate proxy this build is meant for higher levels, since you need good control of your stalkers in order to beat his workers / zealot / stalker mix. anyways i tested this some times and i think a better build would be: 10pylon 10gate CB nexus 12 gas 12 gate (when 1st gate is in 50 / 65) 12 core 2 stalkers pylon. this lets you have 2 stalkers instead of 1 + 2, which will then clean the 1st zealot and stalker with faster. oh and you should (atleast on metalopolis) rally your 1st produced worker to the proxy location, it makes good timing | ||

It seems to me, that 4 Gate is realy good against it, as 1 Zealot and 2 chronoboosted Stalker can deal rly good against 3 Stalkers. No... As stated above, your 2 stalkers come into his base before his first stalker is out. That's the point. A 4 gate is going to start with Zealot first which is fantastic for you as your 2 stalkers have supremacy of the map and he can't catch up to your stalker advantage with only 1 gate. | ||

The scouting you do with a 3 stalker rush is specifically to deny the proxy pylon of a 4gate but seems like it would be good for denying the proxy gates as well. also if you don't outright crush him early you're probably going to lose those 2gates and core and pylon so it seems risky vs someone who manages to hold. BUT like i said if you get 2 stalkers out while the 3 stalker rush is still at 1 you could do some decent damage i suppose In the GSL VOD linked in the OP, JYP did a 3 stalker rush opening and still managed to lose because Hero managed to pick off probes and micro well enough to get both of them on equal footing. | ||

But the Micro Intensity is really strong. My takeaways so far: Dont research Warpgate before atleast 3 Stalkers are out, if u have the Chance to kill him u dont even need it. Kill Probes/workers! This is very important, as u need to make sure that u are still even. If he makes Canon, throw down a robo and rush for 2 Immortal drop with Speed Prosem for Harrasement. Its very good i think. And the Canons come before the Stalker just, if he skips the Core or scoutet directly... So u will still have Time to make significant Damage. It seems to me that, a Chargelot/Archon Counter Push would kill u hard, if he manage to throw u back with Canons, as u cant forcefield the ramp to hold him off. | ||

No buildings, gas being mined early on = not some weird 15 nexus, not proxy zealots, not forge/cannons.....stalkers, doh. | ||

if he went for a standard proxy 2 gate with zealots it can get a bit tricky though. you have a low probe count so microing vs a few zealots is tough while you wait for the stalkers to run across the map | ||

A 1 zealot 1 stalker poke can already do damage so if you have 2 stalkers sooner than that, shouldn't you be able to kill all the terran early army ? it would be decent harass, and sure you could kill a couple marines and scvs, but against a competent terran, you will likely equalize or be slightly behind in econ, with two proxy gates on the map in a pvt going into midgame. not good. | ||

But this would just be a blind counter with a big amount of Luck. | ||

I'd assume you need to deal significant damage before warp gate finishes for your opponent. I just stole it from hero  it seems to be the perfect amount of econ to keep chronoboosting out constantly. If he has only 1 pylon powering his gateway you can snipe it fast, otherwise you need to kill probes and stalkers. I usually ignore zealots and just go for the stalkers and then go for the probes. It's good vs anything as long as you don't get scouted too fast. Cb units out of 2/3 gates is the counter. http://drop.sc/122240 replay vs gm toss | ||
