Because usually what happens is I manage to snipe his probe, but it gets off a proxy pylon in time. I can't kill the pylon because the stalker+zealot he has delays for long enough that he gets his 4x warp in. So I need a sentry to forcefield in time. You're not meant to keep the stalkers at your base to snipe the pylon that goes down below your ramp. You're meant to send them out into the map as soon as each one is done to try to find the probe thats making the pylon and kill it, preferably before it ever gets one made, but if it does get one done, you can send the other stalkers to kill it. Warpgate won't be done yet at this point for him. | ||

This build is a great framework for aggro 2 gate robo's. | ||

Now it obviously needs tweaking but its a safe way to to 2 Gate Robo expand. This build is a great framework for aggro 2 gate robo's. 2gate Robo was already the sort of gold standard for playing safely in PvT, nothing really changes here its just a different way of doing it. | ||

HOW you do a thing is MORE IMPORTANT than WHAT you do, most of the time. Other 2 gate robo can't get 3 Stalker 1 Zealot and 1 Sentry nearly as fast, in any MU On that note, I have been cutting the 3rd Gateway for an extra Zealot before Warpgates finish. As a result, my first warp in can be Zealot and Sentry, meaning 4 gates are even easier to hold. | ||

I usually build that pylon at 24 supply, after ordering your second stalker but before ordering the third. | ||
