My thread may not have been all decorated up but what it did have was a top quality build order, something which this thread lacks quite a bit. Is there even a single build thats correct in here? As long as it looks good though! | ||

Instead lets close the thread because there are so many top quality posts in the strategy section. /sarcasm My thread may not have been all decorated up but what it did have was a top quality build order, something which this thread lacks quite a bit. Is there even a single build thats correct in here? As long as it looks good though! This isn't like a blue poster beat-up party or anything, but: 1) This guide was released as a joke. But with HTML. And a lot of work and research anyway. A build order with no explanation is fairly useless. 2) You did not tag your thread as anything, and it definitely would not have fit the description of a "guide" anyhow (which you pretty much admitted). Note2: I didn't follow scarletts build but this is the fastest I could make it. 3) Do not, for the love of god, continue on with this dumb "these builds aren't right" rhetoric. The 2-base blink build was taken directly from my notes which have received thousands of views. No one, myself included, has ever had any difficulty getting 12 blink stalkers at 8:30 with that build until you. Protoss has several different gas timings which all work slightly differently but end up with the same amount of gas, and the one included in this guide is the way duckdeok did it (and won) against Innovation and Maru. Again, in the game, duckdeok hit 12 stalkers at 8:30 with no problems. At this point, you're just annoying. Please stop. | ||

So I guess that's it. Like I said earlier, this is pretty irrefutable evidence so I don't think you will argue but then again since I posted the same replay of me doing it earlier in this thread maybe you will.... So I tested the build...AGAIN. Just for you. Here is what I found: Still have no problem hitting 12 stalkers @8:30. 36 workers, 6 gates. I have no idea why you can't seem to do that. 14/17 is essentially equivalent to 15/15 in gas, especially if you don't scout. Looking back at the VoDs and based on my own experience testing this, it would probably do better with 2 on gas until cyber core because you really don't need that much gas early on. I'll own to that. Again, though, it's not like the build DOESNT WORK if you have three in each gas, it just might flow a little more smoothly; I think, when I played Protoss like 5 months ago, this is what I did + Show Spoiler + Actually, in hindsight, it was probably 2 on each gas until nexus. This is what I commonly did when I played Protoss for every build, and it's possible that my brain just filled in the details. By the time this guide was released and you asked me the gas timings, it had been quite a while since I had actively played Protoss, so I apologize if I gave you incorrect information The build I wrote was an amalgam build that averaged the two games together (BTW, I think it was supposed to be G3 vs. Maru, and I accidentally wrote G2 in the thread). That is, some elements came from the Maru game and some came from the Innovation game. I did this because not all the scouting was exactly the same and there were some delays in one game but not in the other (Maru ebay blocks him); overall, the purpose was to create one build that would be the most correct. In the end, though, I'm not sure it warrants saying the build is "wrong", since, like I said, I can still hit the benchmarks with no problem and literally no one until you has ever had a problem with the way it works. Had you earlier said, "Hey, I think that build is not fully optimized, but I found a better way to do it!", we wouldn't have a problem. But the fact that pop in here every time someone has a question and make some snide remark about the quality of the guide is what gives you a character flaw. | ||

but seriously though that duckdeok build needs some work john. 14/17 distorts the build by too much. 5 stalkers make a big difference actually. http://i.imgur.com/urSVeig.jpg http://drop.sc/383811 + Show Spoiler + if u really care.... 9 Pylon 13 Gate 15 Gas 15 Pylon 18 Core 20 Zealot (Cancel if no ebay) 21 Nexus (3:30 with almost perfect probe stack) 23 MSC 23 Gas 24 Pylon 26 Stalker -> Stalker -> Stalker -> Stalker (No gaps) 26 Warpgate (4:20) (warpgate completes the same time 4th stalker completes!!) 5:00 Twilight 5:55-ish Blink 2x Chronoboost (8:30-ish completed) 6:00-ish 2x Gateway (Reason: lines up with warpgate) 6:30-ish 2x Gateway (Reason: lines up with 2nd warpin round) 7:00 Gas at natural (Reason: To fit last 2-3 stalkers in) Things to remember: Make your 15 supply Pylon at a place where in-base proxies are most likely. Be active with your first stalkers because scouting is minimal. Confirm that Terran expanded with first stalker. Pylons when necessary Chronoboost gateway after each warpin when possible for maximum Protoss  After 17th stalker warpin u should have 20-ish minerals + 0 gas, Blink should finish at same time. In a real ladder game the timings are distorted by 5-10 seconds because u have to run around your probes to dodge reapers and of course there's the ebay/SCV block............ but the bright side 36 probes allow for semi-strong transition 5 EXTRA STALKERS COMPARED TO WCS EU CHAMPIONS BUILD!!!!  17 stalkers can 2 shot bunkers!!!!!! is this the most optimized build ever? xD | ||

As soon as I figure out how to edit older posts, I'm going to update the old SC2 Notes OP with an updated version of the build. I think a lot of the inaccuracies in the original post have a lot to do with my mind auto-piloting and expecting players to figure things out on their own, but I realize that the slight differences might confuse some people now. In the future, I'll work at making the build orders clear and concise. This is honestly the first time I've ever heard of someone having a problem, so I was a little taken aback. (Either way, though, I totally nail this benchmark (12 stalkers by 8:30) even with a non-optimized version of the build WHAT). I'm a little confused by your build because it only has 5 gateways (unless I'm reading it wrong), which is probably where you're grabbing an extra stalker more than what you should be getting. | ||

I think if I did a 4gate variant I can squeeze in one more? ALSO with 6x gateways u will bank up minerals and have a extremely high min/gas ratio after 9 minute mark. With 3x gas and only 5 gateways u can have continuous stalker production without gaps in warpins. And finally the extra minerals are for extra pylons or probes or 3rd base obviously. And because u have less gateways, Terran player might read you wrong and not commit much to defend Edit: i also updated the build with a few notes | ||

I followed it thoroughly several times (30+ times) and can't ever be attacking @6:15. The best I ever got was @6:20. Essentially, I cut probes at 23 to be able to do WG, throw down a Nexus at expansion, build a MSC (Chronoboost) but to be able to add gates @4:45 (4:35 is impossible it seems) and then another one @5:00 + Pylon @ 25 supply I need to cut probes for 1:15 mins which doesn't seem right and clearly not optimal. If I make a sentry @27 supply then my last gate finishes 5 seconds later and the push is delayed. Is there anyone who could post a replay of executing this exact build and hitting the timings ? I've watched the vods of San executing the build in the previous thread, but it's hard to really see with vods : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-strategy/439454-sc2-notes-the-sangate-pvz EDIT: HuShang does something similar without the sentry and 6:30 is more likely than 6:15 http://drop.sc/384300 | ||

Adding the gates at 4:35 vs 4:45 is related to mining efficiencies so its based on probe stacking and the different map. Make sure you aren't losing minerals by not returning minerals before gas and not interrupting mining time from what probe you send to make the gas for example. Also don't forget it is 12 gate 15 gas because that does make a huge huge difference. In the end its a stupid tight build and San does seem to get his zealots by 6:15ish. I'm not perfect so I can't hit it. | ||

I'm unable to watch replay right now because I'm at work (Zero chances my boss will install sc2 at work  ), but you warpin 3 zealots the first time around ? So I assume your 4th gate is just finishing right ?I didn't know the maps were different in terms of mineral distance. I thought blizzard kinda made Templates of mineral layouts that were just simply used by map makers. Seems I was wrong.I should've tried the build on several maps too to get a better picture. I was trying it on deadwing a lot because it's the map I have the worst PvZ record so far this season. This will definitely help me hit the timing better. Thank you guys ! | ||
