It seems the kill-a-protoss BO is slightly off though. I have problem getting my 4th gate built in time for everything to line-up. Perhaps, I'm just missing something. Nonetheless, it's a great guide to have a little fun on the ladder. Thanks to TL and the writers. I would love to see the equivalent for the other races too !

Never had a problem with it. It was taken directly from duckdeok vs. Innovation, I've used it extensive times, and I've never had trouble hitting with 12 stalkers at 8:30. In fact, it's pretty easy compared to a lot of other builds.

The last gate should lag a little bit behind the others. It's not super clear, but your initial warpin is only 3 DTs with a fourth lagging behind. Never fear, you're doing it right!

Yeah, this thread pretty much sums up my feelings about Protoss. Well written!
If you can't jam with the best, then you have to slam with the rest.

Thanks ! That's what was happening and I couldn't figure out why. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm a Zerg player... But why is there no immortal-sentry build guide

Is this build like the one last pressure point the martial arts master refuses to teach the student... Just in case he one day needs to use it on you?

Because Immortal/Sentry isn't bullshit. It's the most solid PvZ build ever devised.

Also because we had already one thread from sc2john along with the PvZ guide (which is more or less still a thing for the ffe>allin section) to cover it.

Good guide and all I'm just not sure if BO's are what Protoss need, most of them can actually use some skills. burnnn

I'm pretty sure we actually have three additional Soultrain guides out there (as I discovered when I was editing the Protoss Help Me Thread OP). I think, at this point, Soultrain is just a formality than an actual strategy. I mean, what's a ZvP without some kind of immortal all-in?

That is, if the DTs don't work.

Are you referring to the PvZ one?

We'll in that case, what are the chances of getting great books of Zerg and Terran bullshit? Would love to see threads like this one for each race... Even if Protoss is the most bullshit friendly race

Playing regular Zerg just gets so boring

Isn't there a 4 Oracle timing bullshit TvP? To bust the front with getway units and around 4 Oracles to melt marines? I remember MC did this a few times, but I don't know if it fell out of style.

Also, let's not forget, the 1 oracle into proxy Tempest push on Terran front TvP. I've had this done to me a few times on GM ladder and I've seen ForGG lose to it on his stream before.

Early mass zealot pressure/Sangate is countered by banelings. Roaches and some sim city and queens can do it, but the fight lasts too long so you can end up losing a lot of stuff. Banelings quickly nuke a line of zealots. Sling are necessary to bait force fields and block him from running from banes.
There's no reason blizzard can't release new units or fixes to a game without creating another costly "expansion" you've already paid 100$ for, unless they want to treadmill the gambler with future promises of "it gets better"

Plase don't post wrong advice like it's fact. Zealot pressure doesnt use forcefields, and trading banelings vs zealots is cost efficient for the Protoss because banes are really fucking expensive early game.

Protoss pressure doesn't have a bo order hard counter per se, you just need to scout it, make enough shit to defend and not missread the moment when the protoss backs out of his pressure and transitioning (you risk either making too few units and dieing if he commits, or overmaking them and being behind in econ).

Seconded.

The best way to defend this is just to have ~30 lings (even slow lings) out around 5:30-6:00 to prevent the pylon from going down. Of course, you can also go into a few roaches if you didn't open zergling speed. Banelings are a bad bad bad idea for defending zealots, as Protoss only needs to do minor splits to make banelings incredibly cost inefficient.

If you have 30 lings that fast you're miles behind anyways,
