Thanks for the guide. I had been doing this strategy since WOL, this is probably one of my favorite strategy in PvT.

I approve of anything involving immortals.

Also, add the vod of flash vs jangbi, i know he immortal busted. I'm not sure wether this was the same build tho, havent seen the game yet.

Dunno like 2 weeks ago? I -think- it was an ace match, and i'm 100% sure it was in PL. Should be fairly easy to track that down.

The soultrain thing parting did was actually dream vs first at IEM. The photographic memory is a combination of monk and dwf actually lol, i can't remember games to save my life.

Yep, link. Jangbi went gate (scout) gas core gas stalk MSC stalk nex [probably stopped noting units here] robo gate gate. He had 5 sentries, 2 Immortals [didn't note the rest] when he hit Flash around 9'. Dual forge + council → archives transition.

This basically shuts down any type of fast CC mine opening into reactored rax. The only real feasible counter to this is the traditional 3 rax, alongside two (at least to be safe) bunkers. Been running into this quite frequently. Another note, this build crushes daring Terrans who will typically try to pressure with marines after FE. If this fails, a common follow up with DTs just crushes the opposing Terran from my personal experience. Nice to see a comprehensive write up of this.

Like the build - just some thoughts

1. You seem to have 2 many sentries - is this by design ?
2. possible to delay with a +1 forge?
Somethings are just worth fighting for

Just to add some flavour to the discussion, what are the differences between this and an all-in from the standard Gate-Core Expand into Robo - 4xGate?

this is kind of the oldest things ever, 1 gate robo expand into building some immortal and gateways and crush the front with forcefields, while beeing safe agains widowmines.

It is completely shut down by 1raxfe into 3 rax, wich was the standard wol opener. Of course, if terran will tech fast with no units, (hellbat drop), or goes heavy on widowmines (which is not as common against Protoss) he will die.

In HOTS I think you can do variations of this build that are a lot more greedy, and much stronger IMO. Case in point:

http://drop.sc/327126

The expand is 2 minutes earlier, has x1.5 more eco after, attacks at the same timings than in your build ( with same amount of sentry energy ) but with a bigger army, and on 6 gates.

I'm not sure it is more vulnerable either. It skips the first zealot and stalker, but you have an earlier MScore and sentry against reapers or any pressure. The timing of the first immortal and observer is the same.
