-- Upon seeing the 2-gate 2-gas, he cuts the second Stalker out of the 4-gate build, banzais his units across the map and uses the spare minerals from the cut Stalker plus a bit to proxy Pylons everywhere a la Korean 4-gate (but outside my base, obviously). An example is Pylons at tower, behind gold and in natural on Xel'Naga Caverns. -- If I kill his Zealot and Stalker (and I do have that choice because he's just suiciding them) then I end up with 2/3 Stalkers and almost-a-Sentry against proxy Pylons usually right outside my base which I can't kill in time because there's 2 or 3 of them. -- If I go for the Probe, he gets good damage on my Stalkers and generally has a reasonably-close Pylon to warp in from anyway. The Probe's fast so there's no guarantee I'll actually get it provided he micros well. -- If I go for the Pylons, all my junk dies.  -- If I go for his base, we base trade and he has more junk. Thoughts? I can provide replays tomorrow if you want, right now I'm going to bed. | ||

Is this map specific or do you like doing the build more econ friendly? Also, did Zefa ever show you how a 4 gate can exploit the build? | ||

I get the 3 stalkers out fine, push back their proxy fine, but I'm not left with enough gas to complete the build. Go into a delayed 4 gate. With high ground advantage and slightly better econ, you should be able to hold off a 4 gate with this build. For some reference games, check minigun vs kiwikaki in the recent Root gaming tourney. Many of the games of their 5 gate series fit your description. | ||

I feel like if i place down robocits bay before i Scout him I feel week vs stargate play. What should i do against that. But if I wait till i Scout him I am weak vs a quicker collosus opening. | ||

If the other guy is also doing 3 Stalker robo, you might be in trouble. You might just want to go 1gas Robo -> Immortal Drop off 4gates | ||

I tried doing this stalker build and honestly found it hard because it seemed to requrie a lot of multitasking (controlling 3 stalkers to patrol different parts of the map, then doing the opening build). Kcdcs build seems easier as you pretty much want the attack to come to your base. Is there an easier or more methodical way to patrol the map and prevent the proxy? Or am I right in saying it is just assuming a level of multi tasking?? Otherwise it sounds like a good counter worth working on! | ||

Sometimes you need that Stalker out asap, but you have to cut probes for a while to do it | ||

Or am I right in saying it is just assuming a level of multi tasking?? Otherwise it sounds like a good counter worth working on! My zealot immortal build isn't easy to execute either. If you do it perfectly, you have 5 zealots, 1 stalker and 1 immortal at 5:55. I practice the build a lot, and I'm still late by 10+ seconds fairly often. Effectively, both builds are pretty good against 4 gate, but both require a pretty advanced level of execution. If you believe that you can beat 4 gate with either build (I do), then you want to look at how each build fares against the other options. For example, the 3 stalker opening is going to be stronger against stargate plays. My opening feels really strong against robo builds tho. Immortal + warp prism > colossi. | ||

I've found my economy to be sometimes 400/500 resources behind (depending on how long he drags his 4gate on). Sometimes you need that Stalker out asap, but you have to cut probes for a while to do it I feel you're doing it wrong, as I don't cut probes. | ||

Also made the mistake a couple of times losing to blink stalker builds because I thought he was going for the 3 stalker build as well so I immediately thew down robo and he just blinked and killed me, tho i could have held but my control is pitiful. | ||
