we didn't change anything, I guess it was just a temporary browser error -_-?

Oh wow, I'd like to see the VOD, unfortunately I'm broke as hell (yes I'm that poor as of the moment lol)

Akilon would be okay too, but I wouldn't try it on Planet S.

Maybe the css was not fully loaded or something... If others don't have problem, it's OK.

Master Protoss here.
I did the BO more or less perfect (popped dts at 7:22.. just gotta adjust the prism timing a lil) and it works extremely well vs terran a long as there is no early agression. Enjoy the build you protosses this one is not to be underestimated I personally feel like it adds an essential opener to our arsenal.

Fuck you all I hate dealing with DTs + dropship as terran ><
IMAGINE A FUCKING BANSHEE THAT DOES 50 DAMAGE AND CANNOT BE COUNTERED COMPLETELY BY TURRETS
And people think 1 rax FE still works Sooo many new openers.
Well fuck this you guys wanna play with DTs imma stick to heavy widowmines
|
As a Terran, I hate you very much for this.
|
Somebody please explain to me why DT's against Terran is viable. Because whenever I attack with mine they just get scanned and destroyed on the spot (mind you I am in a low league). Is it because higher level Terrans spend all their Orbital energy on mules, therefore having nothing left for scans?

Wow this is an impressive and build and an excellent detailled analysis.
Thanks you.

gosubuilds.com has some absolutely fantastic write ups for Terran builds. They don't have all the pretty pictures, but they are still top notch with breakdowns on scouting and transitions with links to vods/replays. I highly recommend it.

Love this post TL team good job, hope to see more soon

I have been using this build for almost 20 months now, through Wings of Liberty (where it hits at 8 minutes), to Heart of the Swarm.
Tails build is different to mine in that he expands before placing the robo tech aand the twilight council.
also, yes, his macro is far superior to mine, however so is ryung's to my opponents, so i assume the arguments stand.
The weakness of this build is that it will just str8 up die to any form of widow mine pressure since the observer is so late. Also, any form of reaper pressure leaves you a bit exposed. as far as I know these are the 2 common TvP openings atm.
Finally, going for both double forge, AND collosus, AND charge is almost impossible. if you're follow up is going to be collosus, i'd say a single forge with charge started asap.
in fact, I start as I warp in DT's into the terran's main.
Finally, the great thing about this DT timing, is, even if they have a turret in the main (which they do a lot in WoL), you can snipe the techlab building stim.
if the DT's do no damage, good luck
Gtg, will edit more later.
This build is extremely risky tho, and a fringe build. Wouldn't recommend it for mass ladder. since if DT's fail, its really hard to recover past the ten minute timing push, especially with speed medivacs.

How do you deny scouting without building a stalker?

You need to split your DTs cost effectively. If they're using 1 scan to kill 1 DT each time, then you're getting your money's worth. You don't want them to clear all your DTs with one scan.
I just tried this build on ladder at masters level and did well with it. He backed out of any early aggression, so I kept him contained, and killed a decent number of SCVs while forcing turrets and scans. This is after, may I note, that he scanned my dark shrine and robo well ahead of time to prepare.

lol like freaking obvious bo. he berely makes units lol. ofc cause u got PO. I feel pity for everyone who didnt realise that at the very first day of Hots. been using DT with 0 unit count before them since 03/13. Cmon.

If he hasn't started any Turrets or a Raven (very unsual but some people are smart enough to do it) you can always keep warping them in until he runs out of scans. A lot of Terrans will freak out once your DT's get in to the mineral line in the main so they will try to rely on scans which is really bad for them. And if they rely on Turrets you can always try to snipe an add on or something similar. Remember also that once the harass is dealt with you kind of want to be able to delay his attacks by warping in 1-2 DT's once he moves out. I like to try to save one of the warped in ones and keep him outside his natural.

Very nice analysis of this build.

I wrote some map analysis but monk didn't like it T_T

Time to swtich to protoss :p

You know what? Thank you for writing this build. If I start seeing a total mass usage of these uses it will heavily benefit the build Im doing.
