Why are you making four gateways? You dont have enough gas to constantly produce stalkers from 3 gates if you are hitting your warp cycles, and adding robo, twilight, blink and obs (425 gas) makes that lack of production power extremely obvious.

It happens with blink/obs PvP builds that commit heavily to aggression as well. The reasoning is simply that if you are focusing on microing blink stalkers, you will very likely not hit your warp in rounds efficiently. Even MC goes 4gate with this build.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Yes, you also need the 4 gates to hit your first 2 rounds of warpins because of the gas that you have banked up.

A very nice way of executing this build is to disguise it as a 1 gate fe that operates off of 2 gas. Ive seen hero do it quite often

He'll go 1 gate into double gas on 15-16 and only saturate each geyser with 2 probes. the scv will scout it and the terran wont know for sure if you are teching since you have 2 geysers or just going for a 1 gate FE with a higher sentry count (because you are only mining with 4 probes which isnt a total gas commitment either)

Once your first stalker is out you use it to deny the scout from the terran, fully saturate your gasses and go on with the blink build (2 more gates, robo, blink etc..)

I think the more protoss use the 4 probes in gas and 1 gate FE, the more convincing this build will become and the harder it will be for terran to predict without burning a scan (something they dont really want to do before 8mins)
Thats "Grand-Master" SMURF to you.....

This build is very very strong. If you go 1 gate fe with the 16/16 gas often and mix this in it is deadly. I'd really like to see a guide on the non allin version where you get the twilight robo after 1gate expand and do blink pressure.

the more protoss does this the better, because i am terran and they always lose doing this, same for hots when 4 out of 5 p will 4gate core blink off 1 base lol

As a guy who 1 rax fe 95% of the time vs Protoss, this is the build I hate the most in sc2 history. So freaking powerful. Even when you learn to perfectly scout and deal with it, you can lose at any time.

Yes there is

It's off 2 base with MSC, but it's almost strictly better to do this kind of stuff off 2 base rather than 1 nowadays. You don't hit much later than 1 base build since msc + blink takes quite some time anyway and it's far harder to read what's happening. You'll hit slightly later but with 5-6 gates instead of the 3 to 4 just 1 base can support.

Th 2base hits over a minute later, which pretty much means you're playing against Stim at that point.
