I'm in bronze protoss and I have a problem: I have no idea what to do.

I'm not sure which builds to use. I like watching pro games and have a rudimentary understanding of SC2 fundamentals, but I don't know how to actually play because the builds the pros use are pretty high-level. When I play I try to replicate the pro gamers' builds but fail at doing so.

So what are some good beginner-friendly Liquipedia builds I can use? (ESPECIALLY PvZ as it is my worst matchup)

This is what I am currently using

PvT: 3 Gate Robo into Colossus
PvP: 4 Gate
PvZ: 3 Gate Robo
Do, or do not. There is no try.

You're not going to get very far if you cheese every game. As you said, the builds are on liquipedia.
Odds.633, AM. Plat level currently. Would love more practice partners, add me, let's play!

Learn a one base build against each matchup and perfect it. For example I am teaching my brother and am having him perfect the 4 gate against every race. Once he can do it perfect every time I will teach him a 2 base build to use. Doing this builds his mechanics to help him get better overall. I would suggest finding some builds from guides on here to use and perfect them.

Since you're in Bronze, you're going to want to do safe builds because it can be hard to read what the opponent is trying to do (because Bronze players don't usually use standard builds). Therefore, I'd suggest these builds:

PvT: 2gate Fast Obs or 2gate FE
PvP: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Naniwa's_Blink_Observer_Build_(vs._Protoss)
PvZ: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/PvZ_2_Gate_FE_10-16


I'm liking this, especially the PvT fast obs. But I'm not sure about the PvZ 2 Gate FE as I don't want to have to play agressive openings. I haven't mastered my macro well enough to be able to do timing pushes.
Do, or do not. There is no try.

yea I would just 4 gate in PvP and try the 3 gate robo in all your other match ups so you don't get caught by cloak. don't be concerned with doing different builds, just work on your macro and perfecting your execution.

Here is the best bronze league Protoss build:

1. Start off with a standard 3gate into blink opener. (Naniwa's PvP blink observer build posted above will suffice)
2. For the entirety of the game, all you will do is make workers, make observers, and mass up blink stalkers, all the while chronoboosting your upgrades.
sounds easy, doesn't it? I assure you, if you're in bronze league, you're not doing it well.
3. Make sure you never have idle warpgates. As soon as you are able and can afford to warp in a stalker, do it.
4. Never allow yourself to get supply blocked, build preemptive pylons before each warp cycle.
5. Do this while taking bases. Feel free to move out on the map to gain control of watch towers, but do not attack their base head on
6. Move out when you are at a max 200/200 army.

While this seems counter-intuitive (hey, this isn't a real build!) this basic concept will apply the skills you need to get out of bronze league. Macro, as listed in every thread on TL, is the basis of improving. The better your macro, the better you will become as a player. The majority of (if not all) bronze league players do not know how to macro. They will rarely, if not never, progress beyond 50 workers, and they will not use chronoboost/larva inject/mules effectively. If you focus wholeheartedly on those core mechanics, you will mass up an army twice the size of theirs in the same amount of time. No amount of micro will matter, you will steam roll them.

As you do this, you will easily get out of bronze league. Your basic macro mechanics will improve, and you'll find yourself always making workers, using up your chronoboost, not getting supply blocked, and keeping up on your production. Once you have these skills, you can making any unit you want, start with any opener you want (switch the twilight council for a robo) and you will be able to do so with relative fluidity.

Basic macro mechanics will get you into platinum league easily. In any league before then (and probably even up until diamond league) the execution of your build will be less integral than the standard of your macro.

edit; oh yeah, get blink o.O

Doing a single one base build till you have decent mechanics is a great idea. Then move on to a 2 base build, etc, etc.

Hello lordsurya08,

Watching and studying high-level gameplay from professional players can be both really insightful and at the same time entertaining, but at (without meaning to cause offense) leagues such as Bronze - Platinum (arguably Diamond), studying these games becomes much less important than one single thing:

  • Learning the three basics of the game: Macro, Micro and Mechanics.


I agree with your choice to stick to one build per match-up, and in reality, that's all that is really neccesary when it comes to improving from all the way from Bronze straight up to Master, so good job in that regard, and I believe you should listen to the various responses that you've recieved that detail good builds to try and learn.

If anything though, I'd recommend trying to simply 4 gate your way from Bronze all the way to Silver. Although initially counter-productive one may think, it actually allows players from Bronze and Silver to capitalise on one of the most important things when it comes to improvement: Refining their Micro, Macro and Mechanics. By repeating the 4 gate again and again, you will get into the flow of macroing your units, and may even start to micro your units whilst macroing, all a result of your mechanics improving from repetition of the same build in familiarity.

Of course, when you get to Silver (or maybe Gold and beyond!), then you may want to look at other individual builds. In that case, I recommend:

Protoss vs Terran - CecilSunkure's 2 Gate Robo - Fast Observer.

+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=204010


Protoss vs Protoss - 4 Warp Gate Rush.

+ Show Spoiler +
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/4_Warpgate_Rush


Protoss vs Zerg - 3 Gate Sentry Expansion.
+ Show Spoiler +

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/3-Gate_Sentry_Expand


When it comes to transitioning from your chosen opening (or if you have decided to 4 gate, then you most likely wont end up needing to transition), I recommend simply going for twilight council then one forge, research blink and (as suggested by the player above) focus on massing an army of Blink Stalkers. This way, you can really push your macro and try to remain under a set number of minerals and gas as a challenge. When you get better and better, you can try to micro while macroing as well, and then eventually move onto Colossus and other more appropriate transitions (as not all transitions work against certain strategies, there are different ways of transitioning for different reasons, but that's mostly Diamond or above level-related play).

Here are a few pointers you may want to think about during your practice:

  • Using time productively to Macro - Instead of staring at both of your armies going at it in the center of the map, watching all the flashy lights, bullet shots and explosions soar across the battlefield, why not spend your time a little bit more productively? You heard me! Instead of watching your army, just aim to macro up during the battle and keep an eye on how things go via the minimap. This will really help you get into the flow of macro, and when you can mix macro and micro (being able to micro your army while continuing probe production and units out of buildings such as the Stargate, Robotics Facility etc) then you are truely set to go!

  • Expand, expand, expand! - Never remain on one base for far too long. If you are having trouble with getting enough minerals, or are starting to look oversaturated at your bases (24 probes is an absolute maximum saturation, with the optimum being 18) then you will want to look to getting another base. Of course, this helps to both increase income and act as a temporary mineral dump until it kicks in.

  • Got lots of money? Use it! - If you have got a lot of money lieing around after a recent warp-in, why not add additional production building instead of leaving it to bank up? This allows you to be a lot more optimal with army production while at the same time being able to work around having a lot of cash saved up (which should only occur when you are maxed out in supply), and it is a very important aspect of gameplay in Starcraft 2 - who has the bigger, better, faster production.

  • Practice, practice, practice! - If you're having trouble executing a build in ladder, why not kick up a custom game and just spend several games trying to execute the same build again and again, until you've got it good enough that you can gear up to do some laddering and hit them again with a much better executed build! This is also good to get into the feel of any new builds you may want to learn in-depth before returning to ladder.


I hope this has helped, and I wish you good luck! :D.

The builds that you already know are good.
The reason that you're still in bronze is the lack of mechanics

I suggest you to practice your macro / micro / multitasking ability.

I've already struggle in the Bronze League before and if you're really new to SC2 , don't try to look for ways to get to diamond or whatever on Youtube.

if you play a lot, eventually you'll execute the build well enough and that is very important.
Try to spend some time watching pro games of strong mechanic players and plzplzplzplzplzplz watch newbie tuesday on Day9TV it really helps

Question, Im a bronze in the same boat, I can easily cheese my way out but I actually want to be good. I can only fine 3 or 4 build in liqidpeadia for each race? Im sure i just cant find them. Second of all If i just 4 gate blink stalker till 200 till out of bronze then what do I do? So till told otherwise I will spam 4 gate. Wish me luck?

This is actually the best advice in this thread. Don't worry about "builds" or "strategy" or even "scouting". In bronze, if you knew how to execute ANY build semi-competently you wouldn't be in bronze.

Execute 4gate over and over until you have that build down to the wire. Focus on not missing probes, never getting supply blocked, hitting your warp-ins, spending chrono appropriately, etc. These are basic mechanics you should look to master before all else. Execute any build you want, if you can execute ANY of them properly (even illegitimate strategies like mass queens), if your mechanics are good enough you will get out of bronze/silver/gold with ease.

Don't worry about stupid things like "I don't want to get promoted through cheese/all-ins because I won't get better and I will be reliant on cheesing every game". Well first of all, people in silver-plat generally have no idea what they're doing either, so they'll be on the same boat. Second, new builds are much easier to learn if you have good mechanics!

tl;dr Execute any build you want, focus on mechanics. Once you have decent mechanics, learn different builds.

There is no point in playing standard macro games in Bronze. People will just not play standard and instead go for gimmicky 1 base builds and other people who simply 4gate. Your better off getting promoted to silver/gold/platinum by cheesing, losing a whole heap when playing standard games, then simply build your mechanics and strategy playing against decent people.

The builds you list look absolutely fine to me for a Bronze leaguer. As you start to improve and your understanding of the game develops, you can start looking at more complex builds, and fast expand builds. But as a Bronze player, over-extending yourself with complex builds is the easiest way to lose motivation.

I think u can best 4 gate en every match up, and keep your money low. Like almost all bronze CANT keep there money low from 1 base, why should u expand then ? Just focus first one 1 base if u control that try harder builds!

I disagree, I was beating golds in my time in bronze. I did play a lot vs diamond friends, so I guess I improved thanks to that, but still xP

OT:
I personally think 4 gate would be best until silver, and then I would start doing builds such as 1 gate expo in PvT, 3gate expo in PvZ and stick with 4gate in PvP, while you watch pro games and day9, and never forget to watch your own replays.

My last piece of advice is this: New players tend to not make as many units or probes, because they forget, or they just stop doing anything important at times, at least that's what I see my bronze-friends do, they just not make units even though they have money and supply, they'll have an empty production bar for a few seconds, and then they'll make some units, which leads to high money.

That's a really bad advice. You shouldn't start practicing bad builds just because it gives you wins vs worse opponents. You should definitely try to learn good macro-oriented openings from the beginning, otherwise wtf are you going to do once you hit opponents that you can't 4gate any longer?

Unless you plan on just 4gating for the rest of your starcraft2-life.

Yes it will probably take a bit longer until you move up, especially because you will lose quite some games vs cheese. But hey, that only means that you learn how to deal with this stuff early on, which is of vital importance. To put it this way: if you can't stop a rush from another bronzie, you 100% will fail against a rush of a diamond/master-player later on, if you've never experienced it before.
