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. | ||

1. You seem to have 2 many sentries - is this by design ? 2. possible to delay with a +1 forge? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

You can still choose a different build based on your probe scout. | ||

Like I said in the guide, this is basically a port of the 2 Gate Robo build that was used way back in 2011. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are better ways to hit the same timing in HotS given the greediness that the Mothership Core allows Is there any build that shuts down this completely, or it can be used in every game? | ||

Ahah, he must hate you now I had a pretty decent build to open against gasless expos ( a variation of Tail's with DT prism and fast colossus ), but given the state of the meta-game and how so many terrans who open rax-gas go for some mines / helions / hellbat drops, the immortal bust becomes pretty hard to survive. Both builds start the same, so I can diverge based on scouting. I lost one game yesterday doing that build though, but it was entirely my fault: I forced the terran to give up on his expo and defend his main, and found it'd be interesting to waste the game by going up the ramp directly into a mine field. | ||

They're viable and theoretically all strategies work...it just feels like, 1 rax FE into 3 rax feels a bit gimicky on ladder with all the weird new openers thats really hard to scout for without a reaper. What Im saying is that its just not consistent | ||

If the terran gets a block down and you don't have a zealot to at least threaten to deny it, whole game is thrown off. | ||

Forgot if I did it in that replay, but that should definitely be part of it IMO. | ||

So with good multi task and vision, the terran can pull it off pretty well. | ||

By the way, how does it fair with Reaper openings? I mean 3-4 reapers. | ||

...What we've essentially seen since the release of Heart of the Swarm is that neither Protoss nor Terran players can open as greedily as they did in Wings of Liberty... I'm sorry what? The most common PvT opener atm is MSC expand, where you plant the Nexus at 4.00~ which is a good 30 sec earlier than your average zealot stalker expand from WoL. After that, to be 100% safe against everything, you need a Robotics facility and a Forge (for cannon, but you use it for upgrades too!). If anything, Protoss play have become more greedy. Standard in PvT was adding 2 gates after nexus, now you don't really need to do that since we got MSC that will hold anything until medivacs. | ||
