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! | ||

Division: Platinum Points before 100 4Gate Challenge: 172 Bonus Pool : 1553 (6:03PM AEST 24/11/2010*) Final score: Unknown 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. * dates work differently in Australia its day/month/year. | ||

* dates work differently in Australia its day/month/year. 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. | ||

This was my lot as protoss until very recently. 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.. | ||

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. | ||

If it is cool I'll make more challenges like this one, yeah!
