It takes micro, good solid builds, and great scouting. Honestly though, I've never stopped a >2400 4 gate of the few I've had to battle. Good players make extra units appear like freaking Ninjalkers or Samurailots. Japanese units are better. | ||

Division: Bronze Points before "Hundred 4Gate Challenge": 238 (1651 Bonus pool) 15-23 Points 39 Games into challenge: 850(bronze)>651(silver) (1270 Bonus pool) 47-33 Final score: Not finsihed yet. 32-10 so far. I'm still bronze, I should get promoted soon, its puttingme against mid - high gold opponents right now, all are getting spanked. This is fun  Replay pack: Coming soon. I started a new account a few days ago, I was platinum Protoss. I played Zerg from the getgo, and I can't do it, I can't even beat bronze level players as zerg. So I lost about 20 games in a row and switched to Protoss, im in the very bottom of bronze, climbing my way up, pulverizing everyone, hopefully i'll get promoted but I should start playing platinum and low diamonds soon, so it will even out ill start losing. but even after a 16 game win streak i wasnt promoted. Update: Promoted to Silver 12/11/10 =). | ||

LIVESTREAM THIS. It would be interesting to see the player improve as time goes by, and really this could all be done within a short few afternoons. I'd definitely watch whilst at work :D | ||

I've been reading this site for a few weeks now, and have just decided to register and try taking part in this challenge. My Husband has taught me most of the basics such as hotkeys, and has started me on the road to having somewhat efficient macro (I try not to go above 1000 minerals in a game, and usually manage it quite well, for a beginner) Anyway, I've heard that depth beats breadth whilst you are taking those initial steps towards learning the game so I figure here is as good a place to start as any. I'm aiming to stream all of my games, and I'm just in the process of setting up the stream. I've taken a look at Livestream, and whilst the procaster tool is easy to use, it seems like Ustream or Own3d (i think that's what it's called) would be better, but i have little experience with either, and if you are somewhat familiar with UK internet, we get pretty terrible upload speeds compared to download. This post is getting much longer than expected, so I'll wrap it up with this last request. If you have any experience with Ustream,own3d or getting good results with Livestream, and don't mind spending a small amount of time helping me test and set up my stream i'd be very grateful.

I can only comment on what I know to be true about your post, and that is the bolded section. | ||

By the way, the 4gate in which you only get 1 gas and add in 3 super fast Gateways, then get a Zealot off each before the warp gate research is done, and then immediately move out and warp in 4 Stalkers, and then 4 more Zealots from the proxy pylon near their base, hits with insane amount of units at just after 6 minutes. It can be really frustrating to stop if you're used to poorly executed 4gates... just need to spam spines. =/ | ||

First! I haven't been doing strictly 4 gates, but as a Protoss player who was 2000 Platinum (Without 4-gating at all, and about 200 1v1 wins). By mixing heavy gateway pressure I was able to jump to 2200 Diamond in 2 weeks. I've won 27 of my last 40 games. Most of them were DT Rushes with 4 gate support, or 3 gates into a Stargate (for Voidrays and line of sight) adding a 4th gateway for when I was warping into their base. I feel like just by trying early pressure it has at least helped me win some of the faster games I would have normally lost, its a safer and more flexible style, which makes sense. SC2 is mostly a game of aggression and that many gateways gives you a lot of leeway in how you want to execute that aggression. This is the safe hand that prevents that poker feeling from completely invading the game, at least for me as a Protoss player thus far | ||
