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 ;(

It would not be a challenge if it was not 100 games! haha

Haha, this is awesome. I've never played Protoss before but the next time I'm getting hammered on the ladder I might just try this.

Why don't you instead of encouraging people to do boring and done-to-death strategies that deteriorate their skill, inspire them to do like a 1 gate FE / 1 rax FE in every MU? (It's viable in all of them)

Pros-
They learn how to play.
Less people rage on Bnet.
The game develops faster.
People actually play interesting games.

Cons-
You might geht Carpal Tunnel because your games will be longer than 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

i'd much prefer to have Protoss do a challenge where they don't go 4 gate for 100 games

Or like two gate or one gate expand for 100 games

At your request other challenges will be coming in due time.
Your suggestion is appreciated

but! I don't think perfecting a 4 gate detoriates your skill, I think it is a strat that every protoss worth his/her salt should know how to do well.

Why are people so mad about 4gate? Is it the protoss players' fault that there's like exactly this one truly viable build?

Why isn't there all this rage about stim rushes, or 2hat roach rushes?

Hey man you don't have to feel bad if you 4gate most of your games (look at Katari and OpticZero top 25 NA, works for them). Ladder doesn't matter really.

I think I like my robo too much to even consider this challenge. Mainly for immortals though, I have been trying to rely less on colossi - going off topic here.

I will 4 gate but with DTs I guess

4 gates are pretty much nullified at higher levels, but if you're low enough i'm sure you can gain tons of points and master it quite well after 100 games

NexGenius just overwhelmed Nestea with an endless 4gate attack.
