He will ignore your stalker and start attacking your probes. I've tried running away with probes whilst making more stalkers, but that didn't work, it takes too long for a stalker to kill a zealot and I lost too much mining time. Perhaps blocking the ramp with an extra pylon helps? or simply switching the build when you scout 2gate and chrone a zealot and stalker out first? The map we tried it on was Steppes of War btw.
Blocking ramp with buildings till your stalkers get out works well vs 2 gw zealot rush on a map such as steppes of war. I am now considering walling of vs toss whenever I do the stalker 4gw rush opening (placing buildings at ramp just as you do against zerg and using a pylon to block the small gap that I will later destroy to get out).

I decided to give it another try with the 4gw stalker rush vs a terran. I happened to came across a 3rax opening on steppes of war (1700 terran).
The keys to success are:
1. Applying early pressure with your first stalker and snipe a marine.
2. Placing your second proxy pylon so you can warp units up his base (or into his backside as some might say . This pylon will become a magnet for the terran as he doesn't want you warping in units in his base. Take advantage out of this by advancing your troops on ramp few seconds after placing this pylon and you have a good chance of catching him out of position while he is focus firing the pylon. It is a win-win situation for you, you either establish the pylon or you kill several of his units.
Here's the replay: http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/108322-1v1-terran-protoss-steppes-of-war
The very interesting part is that terran's economy didn't get the chance to get past 19 scvs which means that if you don't manage to win with this but have an equitable fight you will still be in a good position to continue the macro game from this point.

He had 21 at one point. Only 16 of them were needed to pump units from the 3 barracks with 2 tech labs., ignoring both mules and supply depots. He also had 400 minerals banked up around the time you broke through.
You had effectively won before the second proxy pylon finished.
(his lack of focus fire and concussive shells also helped you)

You are right but seeing how he reacted to my second proxy pylon gave me the idea of doing this on purpose and earlier next time.

Against t you would be better off trying the 5 zealots 8 stalkers at 6:10 build.

This is how you punish a 2k diamond zerg for going hatch first on a long map such as jungle basin where they think its safe to do so.
http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/108371-1v1-protoss-zerg-jungle-basin
The way I see part of the PvZ matchup after practicing these rushes for so many times is as following:
If you open with a 10gw you force the zerg to delay his expansion as he needs to get his lings speed upgrade asap in order to resist an early stalker push otherwise he is dead meat as you could see in my replay, or go lings/roach and cut drones. If you see that he reacts to your opening by delaying his expo then I guess you already won something. The 10gw affects your economy a little bit but not as much as it affect the zerg's by forcing him to delay his expo. You then abort the rush build and adjust to a more standard build such as 3gw expo (I still have to see what is the best folow up).
I think you end up a lot better than if you were going straight for the 3gw into expo build which gives zergs enough time to early expand and prepare for your push, especially on large maps.

thx for the tip I will most definitely try this against T

and after running '2 warpgates, zealots &4 stalkers in 300 seconds (5min)' for 175 million games:
mainly for PvZ FE
I think this one is safer b/c you'll have a zealot out to defend against early rushes. But only 12 probes. I'll post a 2warpgates, 16 probe, 2 zealot 4 stalker in 5 min results below.

I'm looking for more agressive build for protoss and this "cheese" is very interesting. So i'd tried to improve to make this more economically safe. After a long time run, the SCbuilder give me that :

With 20 probes, this build is not an all-in, i think. Note that if you want to pop the 5 stalkers at the 5min mark exactly, you can with 19 probes instead of 20.

(i'm 1680~ with 300 bonus pool) http://www.gamereplays.org/starcraft2/replays.php?game=33&show=details&id=168308well this was my first attempt at mixing zealots vs FE (hatch before pool) Zerg. But stalkers alone will not do vs mass (speed) lings. And you can't really get sentries off one gas so stalker&sentries isn't an option.
I don't think it is a good idea to focus on zealots vs Zerg FE when we are talking about a 5-6min timing attack. As a matter of fact I think is a very bad idea and I have plenty of reasons for this:
- if the zerg goes for zerglings with no roaches, stalkers allow you to do damage without taking as much damage in return until the speed upgrade is up. as I showed you in the above replay when the zerg went hatch first, by the time the speed upgrade is done, the damage received by the zerg is too big to be able to recover from it. there's no way you can do as much dmg with more zealots and less stalkers. here is the replay again in case you missed it: http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/108371-1v1-protoss-zerg-jungle-basin
- some zergs go zergling/roach in which case zealots become even less effective. a stalker intensive army can deal with both lings and roach.
- one very nice trick to seal the deal early against a zerg is to supply block him by sniping overlords. so suppose the zerg avoids engaging with his lowlings and wait for the speed upgrade you then go for his overlords which means he will not be able to produce enough units to deny your push. you can only achieve this with stalkers.
- stalkers allow you to hit zerg's critical spots from safe positions and avoid being surrounded. if you go zealots heavy you will sometimes have to go into positions that do not favor you (such as his mineral line).

Sure you can
But this BO is 5 stalkers in 5min in order to have the right timing push.
In the build that i suggested, the immediatly next step is to build another gateway to reach more four stalker in 50s, but no probe because you don't need it to keep the pressure.
|
i just tried it against terran, I guess i got lucky because he opened up with 1rax into cc
Edit: Jk, tried this 3 more times and it failed everytime,
|
I got a nice blink rush build. About 18-20 stalkers a zealot and blink in 9mins, with a bunch of probes.
|
Just faced this on ladder. 2k point Protoss.
I was in the worst possible scenario. I 14 gated with a 9 scout on Metalopis. I scouted him last because he was close air positions.
When I scouted him my gateway was almost finished. He had one finished gateway, another gateway going up, and his core almost finished.
I responded by making gateway > core > gateway, and making units. I cut probes as much as I needed to in order to make units fluidly.
He attacked when I had 1 zealot, 1 stalker, 1 sentry against 5 stalkers. This was at the 5:24 mark(the time that his units walked up my ramp) I had 1 stalker and 1 zealot 75% complete from gateway, and warpgate research about 60%. I had 21 harvesters to 12 of him, so I could afford to pull probes, but didn't have to.
My first FF was slightly misplaced and I let 3 stalkers get on top of ramp(I tried to let like 1-2 get up, probably should've just completely blocked though). Was able to trap the stalkers in against the FF and my wall in though. I killed 2 stalkers, only lost 1 zealot. From here on it was pretty easy to just micro and hold my ramp until warp gate tech got up, which then I of course, warpped in a sentry or two and shut down his rush entirely by FFing half his untis up my ramp.
He transitioned into DTs, then left the game.
Overall, I'd say it has about the same potency as most other fast all in rushes. It would probably work best on a map with a wider ramp, like scrap station.
The biggest thread with this build is getting a pylon snipe on your early gateways, in my opinion. If they manage to do that while executing this build, you're in trouble. But if you keep units producing and replace any pylons, you should be able to hold it off by pulling your probe line to get surrounds on stalkers without losing too much.
|
Just thought id mention the only reason you won that game is because the zerg had terrible micro and the zerg forgot to put his drones back on minerals when he killed your stalkers, realized he had no money, and left. Only a viable strat if they go 14/15 hatch.
