played protoss on a smurf account, 4gating all the way

currently 16-3, playing 2k+ diamonds. lol.

imo 4gate should be nerfed somehow, you can fairly transition out of it if your opponent builds 10 spines/mass bunkers etc. and even so ive pushed into a zerg base when he had 6 spines.. just ridiculous

See this is the proble, this is the reason why gateway units are so pathetically weak. If they were any stronger the 4gate would just be even more powerful.

The 4gate is easy to stop these days, but still its way too powerful when done right. I am a protoss player and im all in favour of nerfing the 4gate, but buffing the stalker/zealot/sentrys.

Hmm if true impressive,

I don't have time to do all 100 games, but I decided to try this strat consistently on my garbage account. It's pretty devastating at the upper plat, lower diamond levels.. I've won like 80% of my matches so far.

I did reach some hurdles mostly from other 4 gating protoss, or protoss who really know how to use their sentries. Also, terrans who FE and put up a planetary fortress gave me a bit of trouble, or held out long enough to use the early Thor build.

The 4gate I mostly use is the one mentioned earlier, where you stop probe production at around 18-20 probes and skip on the second gas.

If he did provide you with 100 replays, would you check all of them?

Alright, I've completed the challenge. Doing this in PvP is really good and much more fun than the boring one base war of the worlds type games. I had pretty decent success with this in PvT since many terrans are extremely greedy (e.g. expanding and teching to starport off of one regular rax marine production with just one bunker), but it's very hit or miss as any terran that gets a good number of early units should be able to defend, even when expanding. In PvZ however, I really dislike the build since roaches are so good against gateway units and most zergs are pretty good at stopping this build, so it only works well on certain maps.

I've gained 280 points, of which somewhere about 150 are from bonus pool, which I think is quite impressive when considering that I played with my weakest race and had little experience with 4 gate builds.

Does not need to be nerfed. It only beats the poor zerg who doesn't know how to spread creep and throw down crawlers.

:O That's pretty hardcore.

I have a secondary account for my wife.. but i bombed its rating down to bronze from diamond so she could use it.. trouble is it doesn't win or lose any points in ladder matches now.. so its kind of stuck

(even with 43 wins in a row)

after 43 wins in a row with no change in ladder... i'd contact blizzard support.

unless she likes where she's at and can stomp people, in which case just let it be

Thanks. My main race is zerg, but I did play random for quite a while, so I'm decent with all the races.

I have never had success with it. Only a +1 4 gate push with lots of sentries vs zerg.

Mankeyz isn't lying. All he does is 4gate. That is seriously what he has done to get 2900 diamond. At this point he has people blind countering his 4 gate every time, just because they assume he will do it every game. Just watch any top diamond player's stream and you will see Mankeyz 4gating them.
