Opening straight to templar is already risky imo. Doing so after building a robo is just asking to be run over by stim.

... Please.

Someone should send that article to sOs, I'm sure it'll be extremely useful to him!

sOs knows that you can perfectly play Templar first after robo.

Obviously, or he wouldn't have done it. Doesn't mean there is no risk.

There is no risk...

Then you don't understand the concept of risk.

You're the one not understanding why sOs lost. It had nothing to do with the old anthem of "Templar first is more unsafe than Colossus first," a myth proven wrong a long time ago.

Proven by who lol? It's a fact that Colossus openings are safer. Hell, recently on Meta Artosis asked some Protoss players about how they choose between Templar/Colossus openings and they all obviously said Colossus is safer. And I remember Parting saying in an interview a few months ago that he's started opening Templar because Classic helped him make Templar openings safer.

Templar first with double forge after robo off 2 base is more unsafe than usual single forge collosi first though :D

Yes, the dual forge was odd, and overkill given that he was ahead from the openings.

I agree that templar first after Robot is 100% safe when going for only one forge, but isn't it a bit unsafe with double forge?
Everytime I try doing this kind of thing, I die like sOs did :D

He really isn't. Dear is probably the best PvT player in the world and probably the best Toss also. And going against the best TvP in the world isn't going to held sOs that much.

No I completely agree with you. Just almost every time people talk about it he is consistently ignored. This has been happening for a really long time going all the way back to last year.

Must be why Templar first is the most common opening in top level PvT, HotS Protoss surely needs to take some risks to beat HotS Terran! But right, I should have phrased it more carefully: people used to say that it was not viable because it was too unsafe.
