Out of 10 protoss players I've played against, 7 of them likes to do that proxy pylon gateway rush to win. It's beginning to be quite predictable.

Although it's becoming quite annoying, but I still succumb to it at times even I've scouted early. Just can't catch up in time.

warpgate is a cheat rite? Cuz it makes protoss unit come out so fast like zerg unit.. so is powerful unit that comes out fast.. wtf? no wonder everyone use protoss cuz is most powerful

erm. you do know that using warp gate requires micro management? cos you can't queue the build!

yeap. like TLO's radical build orders/play. not easy to follow at all.

that one not so bad. whats bad is when terran reaper proxy with or even without bunker (with bunker you can early gg ady lol).

heres the dilemma:

early zealots to fend rushes/proxy yes? wrong. reapers rape zealot.

solution is to fast tech stalkers. but here, we're talking about a proxy, where you know, reapers would be at ur gate when ur gateway is just shortly done, so lets not even think about cybernetics. sure, you can scout, but do you realize, that probes do take time to take out tech labs? lol.

while im not saying this is impossible to beat as ive done my share of beating said proxies. but i've pulled a number of these myself and the winrate is fairly high lol

Guys, a noob question. But advise much appreciated. Let's say I have chrono boost energy at 100/100. I have 4 warp gates and I want to chrono boost 4 warp gates simultaneously at once. Or, on a different scenario, I have 3 nexus around the map, expansions. I want to chrono boost all 3 nexus at once to pump out probes. How do I do it? Do I have to hot key anything?

Please advise. Thanks

guys how to counter effectively a mass muta build... ??? void ray are too expensive.. while stalker too slow to chase muta even with blink...and when i build carier they use that air to air zerg unit (forgot its name)...

Yeah immortals are very good against Ultralisk, but does badly against lings. You'll need to have a good mixture of army

Er...you mean Stalkers.....you need sentry to fight against those composition early game. And positioning is important. Else just force field the ramp preventing them from stimming and running up your ramp. Hold them until you get collossus or immortals

Any1 know the counter for early zealot rush?

8 pylon
10 gate
12 gate
13 zealot
15 pylon

.....some even do earlier gate.....been trying all sort of thing...but fail

He sealed it based on what information he got from scouting. Scouting is a must. After you build your 9 Pylon is down, send the same probe to the enemy's base and press SHIFT + P around his base, then you can go back to doing your own business.

if cannon rush fail then will be gg for the player liao.. cuz he wont be fast enuff to get his units up unless u give chance and wait for him build up. right right?

fuyoh very detail with graphical explanation

wrong, with the way he build, its perfectly sealed and no zealot is required. typically i dont do complete sealing ever unless im against zerg, and thats typically when im trying to fast tech cheese

I noticed 1 thing last night. Lost 2 games to terran with marines rush. All he did was with 10-12 marines kite my zealots ends game in 6 minutes or rape my 4 zealots + 1 sentry. I FF cut the marines into 2, but apparently he continues kiting my zealots slowly moving back into a group. Are there better options to take marines rush?

i will go 2-3 gate and try to aim for immortal/colo

but my stalkers will still go for early aggression as im a more aggressive player and taking out even a scv or marine would satiate that bloodthirst lol

4 gate too hard vs T. all T has to get is tanks and you instant cry ady LOL

at least immortal can do *something* about it, or colo for high ground vision, and after thermal lance, you can snipe tanks with some good blink micro assist. (and colo > MM ball lol)

early aggression, even if its just SD ticking, it'd get his scv busy, and at least keep him contained, where you can attempt for expansions

Most of the time I'll wait and see, only will take my move once my obs is up. It's best if you could have a DT or 2 in your group. Works best when everything is so messy on screen.

fast scout and adapt your units to counter them..

pure MMM I will use stalker+collosious+zealot
MMM+ tank/thor = stalker+zealot+immortal
MMM+tank+vikings =they must be turtling too much = have to expand faster than them d =/

yeah, i met one terran in ladder who turtle too much in with 1 more expansion..then after 30 minutes come out with 6 BC 12 vikings 6 tanks + MMM...

I used 12 carries + 6 Collosious+stalker+zealot...

I cleared all his ground units but he left BC and I lost all =/ then gg d

lol, i cant hardly micro when I have lag issue with too many units in my screen...so at the end just auto attack..zzzz

time to change new comp!!!!

Yea, it's on the other hand of the tech tree I guess. But it's still worth it.

And I will always try not to let a terran stay too long in the game, it's like a digging a hole for myself. Until now, I've yet to see Thor gameplays. Maybe I'm still in gold league, most of them used MMM only.
