Thanks a lot for the guides JayPower, this really helps to diversify my play.
Any chance you got something nice in store for PvP?

Really cool build, especially with the hallucinated Colossus which tricked the Terran player into going Vikings

I don't know that build. Do you have a link to a VOD?




The build looks interesting. Oz played very greedy though and got 7 workers killed by 2 hellions, which in my opinion shouldn't have happend. Other than that, k0p seems to be moving out at 12:00, this is when you can already have 4 immortals. So if you recognize the build you can make even more if needed. As far as breaking the terran, I think it's possible, but I'm not 100% sure. If you can drop 2 immortal behind (or to the side of) his army to prevent your whole army from going through 1 choke, then yes + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
. This is however not possible on every map and the terran can prevent that so it really depends how defensive the terran is set up.

So many great Protoss guides lately. It will take a while to go through every single one of them. Do you plan on making a guide for standard macro PvT? I saw Artosis use that a lot, and seems pretty bullet-proof, yet hard to get it right.


I'm not sure what kind of PvT guide I'll do next. I don't find standard macro build very interesting because a lot of other people make those already. I prefer bringing new stuff to the table.

No problem! Sadly I'm not working on anything for PvP. It's very hard to find/make a all-round protoss build that doesn't auto-lose to a certain build.

I added today's proleague match between KT.Stats and SKT.Fantasy in the OP.



Stats went for a slightly different opener. He got a quick second gas before expand and got a quicker robo with that, also some more sentries in the early game. He adds a 2nd gateway a bit faster but besides that the build is pretty much the same. Fantasy went for some very agressive play with widowmine and hellbat drops into a 3rd base. But he wasn't able to hold the timing attack.

you realise this was a reactive all in not a planned one... fantasy lost too many units from drops so he couldnt hold a strong counter attack

I'm glad you like the guide. Next up on my list is another PvZ guide and after a PvP guide. Both will be released somewhere next week.

I am really a great fan of your guides since I have the 1st hand results, you cannot deny the wins i had having read these. :D

I was checking on State's PvP to complete my current arsenal of builds but I guess I have to wait for your PvP one.

Good job! Keep it up! I like the linkage of 2 the guides as well!

Holy shit been playing around with this build quite a bit and it's sick.

If you don't mind, please add something in the OP about defending a terran countering with drops while you push, and i'll add this to the recommended threads

I'm only in gold league but I had hard times against terran. With this build I crush them like a hell . This build is very good for learning map awarness - against medvac drops. In these league when terran playing bio the only thing you have to do is denying these drops since ~8:00-11:30 (still don't know medivac timings).
For me this is solid build to learning PvT.

This seems like a pretty solid and well done build!

I think it's worth noting that in the first game you linked with KT in it, he uses hallucinations to trick the Terran into thinking that he is going down that tech path. No anti-archon units were on the field, and there were 4 useless Vikings. Although the Terran had been scouting the whole game, he was out of position when KT's army hit, and lacked the appropriate units to deal with the attack. KT hid the attack well, and I think that's a major part of this build.

Probably leave your MSC at home to overcharge any incoming drops, as well as warp in chargelots while you're attacking the front.

Wow I'm surprised that you can do so well against T without either storm or colossus. Does this army composition work as well when the army numbers on both sides are larger? (like near maxed out)

No it doesnt, you need both storm AND colossus for that stage of the game.

It's important to note that k0p did this on the OLD fighting spirit which has 1 rich gas geyser, this makes his push a lot faster. We don't know if this kind of push is even possible on a regular map.
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. What I'm saying is that there are known knowns and there are known unknowns but there's also unknown unknowns, things that we don't know that we don't know

Great build and really good guide!Do you have a replay of a "perfect run" of the build (one without any interruption from your opponent or one versus very easy A.I.) to be able to see how it should go ideally?

Hi everybody!

I am a terran mid master player and I've just lost against this build.
Is there any tips to counter this timing attack? Somebody talked about the units you should build in order to win or at least survive to it. What are they?

Thx for your replies!

I think it might help if you add a replay of your loss.
