Haha wow I hope this stays a one hit wonder so Terrans don't learn to expect it. In silver league I went undefeated against over 10 Terran with this and the wins keep climbing (still undefeated against 3-4 Terran in gold). Easy to get the drop before 8min even as a newbie and I almost feel like I'm cheating using this in lower leagues. Thanks!

That's how it works in lower leagues! Copying good players is a good way to climb the ladder

Sooo many new openers.

Well fuck this you guys wanna play with DTs imma stick to heavy widowmines



I love hearing Terran rage. I almost felt bad for Terran during the ZvZvZvZ days of the past year, but then I remembered GomTvT and Terrans winning tournaments by a moving with the 1-1-1. Oh well, now you know how it feels.

Back in WoL, the build I used that got me to mid masters was extremely similiar to this build. I didn't have the mothership core back then, so I had to make units early, but I didn't have to make a robotics facility because high ground warpin, hallucination, and forward pylon. For my sake, I hope this doesn't catch on because I like using my dark templars.

Best article of the month, hands down to the author!

But I need some further explaining on the no-scouting part. I love to scout early especially in ladder since people can't help themselfs from stupid cheese builds that's easily countered by an early scout.

If I want to implement scouting in this build, when should I send the probe?

P.S. This build is crazy Swayze.

what are the advantages of this build VS a 1 base all-in DT rush (GW->core>Twilight->Dark Shrine) with a proxy pylon; I just saw a replay and the firs DT landed at 6'50

The builds have completely different goals, you aren't allining with this of course. Having a nexus up makes it a little more unpredictable and harder to scout. Also, the warp prism helps in catching the terran offguard since they often make a turret at their nat but not one in their main.

What is the earliest a terran can out a widow mine to protect the mineral ?

if the loaded warp prism is destroyed with an early mine , you may be in serious troubl so

what do you think about the following patch :

26/34 : Sentry (instead of walker) then send phoenix hallu to disable potential mine, send warp prism afterwards




You can see a burrowed widow mine in the ground if you pay attention.


A warp prism can also tank a widow mine shot....

Damn, I just beat a masters terran with this (I'm like top dia/low master) despite arriving at 7:50. Problem was I was shit scared during a long time there, didn't really dare to chronoboost probes. Also, I went for the stalker before nexus since it's seems so damn scary :D

Loved the terran tears also, "cheesy as hell.."

Thank you for this build! :D

The main advantage of this build is that it allows you to transition into a very economic and greedy mid-game, while staying relatively safe.

Because your expanding quickly, you'll be on equal terms with the Terran until your first DTs warp in. At this point, even a low number of scv kills, delaying some tech ( snipping a tech lab ) and forcing turrets is a decent advantage.

It forces the terran to be careful when leaving his base, delaying his first push until he has a decent number of scans piled up.

Meanwhile you're playing fucking greedy. Two forges, robo bay, all with an indecent number of gates ( 2 for a good while.. ). You rely on DT threat and MS core to defend light pushes.

One drawback of this BO, which I learned the hard way, is that it's pretty much a freeloss if your opponent was going for a 1/1/1 with a raven. But against standard play it seems very strong.
