Zerg is largely immune to this because the hatches and injects being able to overdrone after shutting down an all in, or the fact that Zerg has closed the holes in the timings means that Protoss no longer even try vs Zerg, which means there's no making early units for Zerg to begin with.


What ?... May I know what level are you ? Cauz I can guarantee you, you still see them in GM meaning it's still viable.


When's the last time an early game protoss all in has killed a zerg in pro play?

Macro builds have tight timings to hit as well; the problem with them is that they are generally much more complex (so harder to execute correctly).



Funny stuff. Any macro build has within them designs to hold off early game aggression because there's no point in going macro if you just straight up die to some early game aggression or all in every time, and because of that, because of the exponential rewards of going macro, the person who goes macro and gets "more stuff" and holds off that all in has basically won right then and there. Unless the other player was Protoss of course.

User was warned for this post
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"

Avenge went "What the hell, let's give the 'kill-a-zerg' build a try" and stole a map because of it. Great job Book of Protoss Bullshit!

Snute also died to a weird 2-2-2 from Patience. However, that can be granted to some extent to Snute's decision to base trade, which may or may not have been optimal.

Is it just me or the Tasteless build vs terran never works at all? Every time my oracle comes in they either have a widow mine in mineral line already that one shots the oracle or a missle turret and plenty of marines. From there they just make mines/marine/viking/turret/bunker and hold the all in easily

I'm hitting the timings correctly too.

I think I'll stick to my normal vs terran lol

Yeah this particular proxy oracle isn't subtle at all. If you could find a way to make 3 pylons in your main and still proxy the stargate at the same time (i guess by sending out the probe later and maybe cutting a couple of probes?) it would be a good deal harder to scout.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Yes i guess you could cut 2 probes and overbuild 1 pylon, so that it would feel normal when terran scouts it.
I am wondering thou, if just a normal 4-gate wouldnt be more effective build to use, simply because you could fake a 1-gate expand, and build 3 more gates when reaper leaves?

This sounds silly but perhaps do a gas-first variant of the build. Most Terrans don't bother clicking on your gas geysers and not many people could tell what the timing of a regular core finishes. They might even ebay block you when they see only 1 gas, then its pretty much a win.

The whole point of the tasteless builds is that your opponent is too busy shitting hmself about something (proxy oracle, 4gate, 10gate) to realize you have more bullshit in store (4gate, dt). Straight up 4gating in pvt is the opposite of that, you just pick one dumb thing and do it. I mean, people are bad so it can work, but it's a completely different kind of bullshit build.

Gas first sounds reasonable though.

"Warning: The last post in this thread is over three months old.
If you bump this, you'd better have a good reason!" (c)

I really have a good reason! I'm russian speaking streamer/content maker , but i can speak english too (not perfect though)|
So i decided to try REINCARNATION of this awesome book with my LOTV-Edition cheeses.

You know, SC2 become such a pizza...we need to spread cheese on it!

I'm droping guides of cool cheese builds that work at least in highMaster - lowGM level, but some of them is taken and maybe reworked from 6k+ players.
Hope you'll enjoy.

My guide on YOUTUBE

And replays:
Standart way this build goes most of the time vs GM/ML

And this guy managed to defend. So allin transition

It is so bad...that's actually good.
