I think you should've done it the other way around. People that always 4 gate should play 100 games without doing it and see where they'll end up. That seems far more interesting and entertaining to me.
I speak fluent sarcasm.

4 gating is the severely anachronistic version of the 2rax marine scv rush.

This sounds like a pretty interesting challenge!

I play random, so i would have to do ~300 games of which i will be doing my P games 4 Gate, does it count? :D

Just have to remember to do 4gates all the time when playing P and get my fun out of the other matchups that i play.
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

am i the only one wondering why you're willing to spend roughly seven hours (top 5 packs, 6 1/2 min per game for 4gate, reviewed at 8x with 100 games) reviewing the same monotonous replay content?

Out of all the pointless posts I've read on this site, this one takes the cake as the worst thread I have ever seen. The only thing it will do is get every bronze player to diamond in a few games, and absolutely suck after they try any other strategy.

Maybe if this was a 15 nexus for 100 games it would actually be beneficial to someone's play and not be the most boring thing you have ever done.

Please stop this build snobbery.

First of all, 15nexusing anywhere other than PvZ is instant lose.

Secondly, if 4gate wins games, why is it a bad build? Why are only macro builds "beneficial to someone's play"?

once you hit a certain point, more and more people will know how to react to it. But even so if your micro is good, you can win :D

I think better one would be.. 3 gate expand..

Anyway.. I think I will do it because.. I havent played much in a month and didnt plan on playing till protoss buff.. so might as well practice 4 gating which I never did since I am a macro protoss player... Not starting right now though.. maybe like in 2 days.. I got loads of points in my bonus pool.. and my rating is way below my skill due to inflation and lack of practice so will be a while before I am even playing equal ppl.. Although probably wont matter since I doubt pure 4 gate will actually get there.. will post that info junk when I decide to start..

Because 4gate stops working as often the higher you go and is so simple you learn nothing.

I can't tell you how many times I've held off a 4gate only to have my opponent just quit the game before I've even countered. It's hilarious and sad. I could provide you with a replay of a 1800 Diamond Protoss 4gating me on Jungle Basin and quitting as soon as I destroyed his push. He even faked a FE to try and put me off, I only saw his 4gate because I sac'd an OL 30 seconds after my drone died.

Basically, 4gate doesn't teach you anything. This guy obviously had no idea how to play past the first push.

I agree, people saying you dont learn a lot from 4 gating is wrong, you definately learn to micro! Its a good build for having quick micro battles.

Said like a true bronze player.

The 4 gate=autowin is a stupid myth made up by sub-par players who think they can be 2k diamond protoss if they spam this 1 magical build but simply refuse to do so because they claim it to be "cheap". It kinda reminds me of how m16 was to cod4 and the attitude the x-box community had for it. "ooh oohh m16 such a noob rifle" and yet only a few could actually get a good k/d with the gun. It's sad to see a part of the SC2 community has fallen to this shitty level.

4 gate doesn't get you far in life, is it a good build? yes. Does it win you every game? Hell no. Any opponent who actually knows how to scout can easily beat a 4 gate and this is the reason why it is so damn rare to see a 4gate nowadays in diamond. Then again, if you want to prove me wrong then kindly go ahead.This thread is specially made for people like you.

If you are winning 75% of games with 4 gate are you better or worse than someone who wins 60% of games with a macro oriented play?
You really need to expand now.

... ooor he realized his allin didn't work and had no way to recover and prefered to not waste his time.

You can also 4gate without going allin, in which case quitting the game after it fails is indeed rather lulsy.
