how do you defend against a 4 gate? and i'm secretly happy that my NS enlistment date was cancelled. I was actually supposed to go in today but they postponed it indefinitely which means that i'm done with school and don't have to go into the army for a while. starcraft time?

Awesome news about enlistment. I've got 14 more weeks myself to ORD, not long to go, but it's still a pain in the ass.
I was trying out phoenixes and cutting units slightly to get 3 warpgates up faster, then holding the ramp with stalkers/sentries. Every time the 4gate tries to push up, FF a few units off, kill them from range. Eventually you get past the weak point where your gates are just coming up and you have only 1-2 phoenixes, and you can start chipping at their econ. Regardless of the build, so long as you have a good amount of sentries (you can always warp in another for an instant FF) and stalkers to kill trapped units, you can do alright until tech is up. And make sure he doesn't have a lowground pylon in range of your high ground.

EDIT: comex tomorrow. i might go just to pick up a mouse since my usual mouse broke down and i'm using some suuuper old microsoft optical mouse that jumps around.
I never thought about going for fast pheonixes... What about korean 4 gates? PvP is so cheesy that I'm forced to go for a 10 pylon 10 gate because I find it difficult to hold off early pressure. Are later gate timings viable? I'm going to find myself a P practice partner to work on that soon though.
Nice work. Average WLR around 60% and points above 660? Pretty decent!

Anyone seen the xin-gaming thread on tl? I glanced through it and apparently i saw nirvanas name and deepblue's name in the invitational list. Not sure who else is there though.

vs Korean 4gate you really really have to get used to knowing what the build looks like - then cut tech, get your gates down, and match his production (or close to it). If you dont pump units asap you wont be able to kill proxy pylons and that's gg right there. If you can predict it (1gate core with no unit, only 1 gas and taking probes off), you can react.
I usually 12gate PvP unless it's a 2player map, then I'm 10gating in case of proxygates.
The biggest issue I have with phoenixes is that while you can hold off a 4gate, they don't really help against it (besides scouting/harass). It certainly doesn't compare to having an immortal or colossus come out, or simply more units.
That sg player table is pretty great, nice job.
