Gateway allins are pretty weak to spine crawlers :O I mean hell, even the immortal allin got too far slowed down by the mass spines, and immortals are fantastic against spines. | ||

I don't think mass spining makes a lot of sense - you have three bases to defend after all. Nestea's plan was to abandon his third and turtle at his natural while base-trading, and the mutas aren't out until 10:40 or so. It would seem suicidal to do this against a gateway all-in that hits before 10 minutes. | ||

Yup, he already stated in his interview that he didn't plan on taking on protoss army after seeing him go immortal sentry. he decided a base trade is the best situation. | ||

Hm. Do you think maybe that is why the BW pros were all just smashing their armies into the protoss base when they got immortal 2 based? Maybe they weren't just being retarded. Preparing for a base trade may be the most reliable way to beat something like this. | ||

Preparing for a base trade may be the most reliable way to beat something like this. Its probably the most reliable way when ure not prepared enough. If you can hold it (eg you got hydras with range as well as a good amount of units in time, or burrow movement, infestors and so on) id rather smash it, the loss of all those sentries and immortals, as well as his lack of economy and tech is much more likely to be a win than baseracing. And, dont think that those broodwar pros were super good at sc2, most of them are just low/mid masters with superb mechanics and bad gamesense (for now). | ||

Maybe they weren't just being retarded. Preparing for a base trade may be the most reliable way to beat something like this. They are still fresh in the gameplay of SC2. At the current BW pros level skill in SC2, the protoss race would dominate since toss army are better than Z or T army in the mid-late game. I watched those games and literally almost every battle the toss would win because the T or Z would try to engage the enemy head on without spreading or flanking and bait out more forcefields. Plus, the terran players were overstimming a lot and repeatedly retreating and never engaging properly. But this is something they can work on since they are still new to the game. Plus, they have to train in both games which is pretty tough and also the OSL is still going on. Most people still in the current OSL season were the ones losing(Flash,Soulkey,etc) since they are probably putting more time into BW practice. But one thing though that i have to give the BW players credit is that they have freaking sick map awareness. They literally can pick-up anything that is going on within mini-map and react towards it(albeit not properly since they are still fresh in SC2) | ||

Nestea goes muta in gsl by impulse if u saw the off the record last week.... so this is not "nesteas" all in, as he does not mean for what he does to be a all in... Don't just watch one game and try to make a guide based of a unique situation that will not happen on the ladder often. User was warned for this post | ||

Don't just watch one game and try to make a guide based of a unique situation that will not happen on the ladder often. Don't just read the title of a thread and assume you know what you are talking about. He is not talking about an allin from nestea, he is talking about a standard build from nestea that incorporates 3base muta that BEATS the immortal 2base allin. | ||

If he has a bunch of gates--you need roaches. If he has a robo/stargate--you don't need roaches. Easy. | ||

The whole point is that the spire play is strong if the Protoss player goes for a strong tech based build (primarily robo, although Nestea made it work v. a stargate build as well). If you see an indication of a gate all-in, which can be a number of things, such as quick proxy pylons, only two gases, actually seeing the gateways or a ton of chronoboost spend on the forge and core, you don't do this. | ||

You wouldn't need the void ray. 4 gate zealot has 2 builds into two timings. You can hit around 7 minutes if you go gate first, Yuffe style and off a normal FFE the 4 gate hits about 8 minutes with first warp in. If you go zealot void ray you hit at around 8:30 with first warp in on a longer map if you 4 gate and 8:00 with first warp in and a void ray to show up later if you go 3 gate. Alternatively, you can hit at the standard 8:30 with the void ray and have 2 zealot warp ins off of 3 gates which IMO is better and give you more options to follow up. The thing is you only need the void ray against roach openers, but then again if he masses lings to inefficiently keep his 3rd alive in the hopes of muta play then yeah, thats fine the void ray would kill the third. I think that the thing about this build is it seems like it really is metagaming. Proxy spire? I need to watch these games but this doesn't seem "solid". Like what if you get hit with a 7 gate. You die. Unless of course the ovie speed upgrade means that nestea is getting a full scout every game. | ||
