Its safer and more flexible, and still puts you in a better position economically than MC's by a lottle. The openimg BO, in case anyone's interested: 9 - Pylon (CB Nexus 2x) 13 - Gateway (CB Nexus), Scout 15- Assimilator x2 (2 Probes in each) 17 - Pylon 17 - Cybernetics Core 18 - Zealot * - @ 100% Core: Stalker (CB), WG Research 24 - Nexus 25 - Pylon 26 - Robotics Facility (cut probes for a bit) 26 - Gateway x2 26 - Sentry Once safe and have your expo going and observer, next building is Forge for armor. Go from there as you like. I also prefer this build in PvT just gives you the best options IMO, but nice BO by OP will definitely give it a try sometime | ||

But the biggest probleme against a good opponent is the e-bay block, because you have no unit while trying to expand. Just something to keep in mind. To combat this, espceically on 2 player maps, where the scout might sniff what you're up to in time, I like get the gas at the normal timing. I don't add probes to it, though. I stop at 16 probes, I then drop a nexus. I skip the Zealot if he's one rax FEing and continue probe production. I then drop a Core and add probes to gas. | ||

 . knowing the nexus timing to skip a pylon actually hugely pays off in that phase of the game. It is hard countered by proxy hellions (where they go on 2 and pull SCV's) though. The only way I see someone holding this is by seeing it coming (somehow) and triple pylon blocking the ramp. Was costuming with some random barcode GM and this was his solution anyways. | ||

When I scout one base, I get some Stalkers out ASAP and drop a second Gate, adding a third later on. | ||
