It's actually a sweet idea, especially now that the ladder is nothing short of *plagued* with Zergplayers. Since they are generally the squeekiest wheels, 4-gating now should be more funny than ever. Plus if people are still complaining about this, they really need a repeated lesson in it. Come on, people, complain about real stuff!...

And this is why laddering is so boring and tedious...if you're trying to prove that people can get to unreasonably high rating 4 gating that has already been proven.

Luckily, anyone whose good at any of the 3 races can block it if they know it's coming. Granted some people are better at doing it than others.

How in the world is this why laddering is "so boring and tedious", please elaborate.. Because all you see in ladder are 4 gates? This is plain out wrong.

And if it is not that which you are referring too what is it exactly? I do not quite get where you are coming from.

Yeah in my opinion this isn't really needed to prove any points. It appears to already be pretty common knowledge that a 4 gate will get you a high rating if you're a mediocre player faster than almost any other build. I'm not saying that 4 gating automatically makes you bad or something. Certainly a 4 gate from a top player is fearsome especially if not scouted properly.

If this is just for fun then go for it!

4-gate is strong only because of the warpgate mechanic. It's counterable but not easy to stop. Although, I take great pleasure in beating it.

Replay pack: coming soon

Ill do this on my NA account which I have played around 10 games on. It is relatively blank.
Also I think people should state their bonus pool gains.as well as their "true" points gains.
because just playing the game will get you an inflated rating.

This makes too much sense for americans... increasing units of time from left to right?... I bet you also use a base 10 system for measuring things. pussies.

See, the problem with this is that yes, you'll get really good at 4gateing, but when you're challenge is complete and you sit down to learn and experiment with something else you'll get owned every time because you're matched against players far better than you (far better than anything but your 4gate).
This was my lot as protoss until very recently.

This is soooo tempting but after mastering the art of scouting and defending the 4gate ~70+% of the time, I think I'm good. There comes a point where people defending the 4gate get better at it faster than the people executing it.

If you think it is a problem to grind through players that are superior to you, just enter and quit 10 games in a row and you'll get right back at your "level", so I don't see the problem really.

After the A hundred 4 gate challenge you could start going 3 gate robo against protoss and terran
and 4 gate blink stalker against zerg etc..

Neat idea, I would totally do it if I had the time to play as much.

It would be cool if challenges like this would continue with other strategies/races.

Does it count if I've already done it? My last 100 games have been in this fashion and I've won maye 55-60% of them.

I always, always push at ~6 minutes with 4 stalkers, 4 zealots and 2 sentries. Wins me most games. Especially as I also always warp in a round of zealots on their high ground as I'm pushing up their ramp. Very solid strategy.

I basically only lose to 3rax fast marauder builds and good zerg players who 15hatch and then go roaches + spines just in time to defend.

Isn't a hundred games... Kind of a lot? I mean really, that's a lot of games in a row to use the SAME freaking build. I think I might die of boredom ;(

Btw first to upload 100 games with 4 gates gets their name on the list.
