  • Lol @ the proxy Stargate he never saw.. if only this replay kept going

  • @FortuneCat1982 stargate wouldn't do anything really :/

  • :( i cant do it...this dude who i practice with keeps building a lon at my ramp and pushes up with units help??

  • @insanedrummer1572 I would say just try and make sure you're constantly warping in units, and make sure you catch the forward pylon before his first warp in otherwise you found it to late, and make sure you are dropping down your 3rd gateway and your robo when Artosis does (or around then) and honestly above all else just make sure you're constantly warping in units when available, looking at the video he didn't really miss a warp in, also don't forget to chrono boost the Immortal :)

  • @insanedrummer1572 SENTRIES

  • Very cool. Nice @ shoutout to young-hwa

  • Steppes of War !!! lol

  • what is the other protoss turtles

  • @n4gauge then congratulations, you didn't die. now you transition. this build is old, back when all pvp games ended before the 7min mark because of 4gate. now you can just make a sentry and be fine.

  • i never noticed his opponent killed his own stalker =(

  • I miss Steppes of War. Can't wait for Immortals to get that +1 to range. It's going to make holding off a 4 Gate that much easier.

  • Hey artosis can you upload games where you lose? then you can talk us through your mistakes, or tell us why your opponent's strategy was good!

  • @CowHoofOnAHotPlate

    artosis doesn't lose. 

  • this worked aginst a terran and a zerg

  • Just looking for some advice here: In lower leagues might it be advisable to get out a second immortal, on the chance that they continue to mass stalkers in order to do a big push after you deny the rush?

  • @ThePaedoBear I don't think so. You can force field the ramp to buy time for your first colossus.

  • he actually lost this game

  • does this still work with the new warpgate timing?

  • @VIsupIV

    It's actually easier, you have the extra time before the enemy's warpgate attack goes. You can more reliably get the Immortal out.

  • @VIsupIV The 4 warpgate rush is still a viable strategy, but since warpgate research got nerfed a bit, the time where you used to send out 1 zealot, 1 stalker and a probe is going to be different. Now you can make more units out of your gateways before warpgate is finished. This means that the 3 stalkers are going to have a harder time to do something when they come out, since the opponent wont send out his units as early. I wonder if this still works

  • @VIsupIV even better because the 4gate is delayed even further.

  • @VIsupIV i think yes, imo it's even easier now, because you have more time to destroy all the proxy pylons or the zealot with one or two stalkers. You can make a lot of damage, without losing minerals. Example: Killed 2 proxy pylons, one probe (the pylon builder), zealot, stalker and perhaps the first scouting probe if the enemy thinks that you are going Zealot first. This is 200 + 50 + 100 + 125 + (50) Minerals = 475 (525) damage you dealt. That's devastating in the early game.

  • @VIsupIV Yes.

    Warpgates have nothing to do with this.

  • he stopped the game to answer the phone isint that obvious there is no way he could have lost

  • This counters zealot push as well because you have three stalkers at 4:30

  • i remember arotosis calling people faggots for one base collossus lol

  • he lost this game

  • I don't understand how you say its key to use your chrono on the second stalker and not the first one because "otherwise, your money doesn't flow as well". However you chrono both the first and the second one. I appreciate the tutorial but I thought you would have atleast touched on that.

  • @Christmastaflex - I think he just misspoke. He meant to say don't use the chrono until you start the second stalker in production. If you chrono while still working on your first stalker, you won't have quite enough money to start the second immediately, therefore wasting the chrono. Hope that made sense...

  • Does he get extended thermal lance?

  • @SetbabyStarCraft

    no, that's not really viable on one-base. You just get more units to finish him off.

  • @ISSDUC i think it is sometimes forced off one base, just obv in this situation it was going to cut colossus numbers too much

  • @xLingyy

    yeah, you're right :)

  • thank u very much appreciated really

  • 9 ppl can only do 4 gate and got crush by the 3 stalker build

  • rain and weather...anyone else saw this before EVER!?

    I'm surprised!

  • it is possible to be in his base with 5 stalkers by 5:15 if you kno the build won 13/13 pvp games with it (its a secret)

  • @madio33 how?

  • God dammit artosis. We wanted to see the end of it.

  • Fact - robo negates 4gate.

  • @Savci008 yes, but usually the immortal isn't out in time for the first warpin of units.

  • which if you sit down at squint at the game time clock, and the units/food artosis has, would simply get crushed by the proper 4gate response to this... at 6:25 artosis is just finishing his sentry, 4stalker, 2 zealot squad.. but at that time I'd be hugging his ramp with SIX stalkers, FIVE zealots and be chronoboosting out another wave of 4 in no time at all... His army would be outnumbered and dead before the immortal even really had a chance to join up with it.

  • all it takes to crush this 3 stalker build is a *well hidden* pylon 4gate, or if the 4gater simply warps in his first 4 stalker warp cycle (at 5:35) near his own base..

    I have crushed countless people trying to do this build. The colossus doesn't come out in time, or if it does come out I'm already up the ramp with all my units before it is by 6:20

    This is quite possibly the fastest semi-safe tech build, but it can be crushed by a well thought out 4gate if they scout no zealot early 2ndgate

  • Sorry, I meant the immortal doesn't come out in a timely manner. If I scout someone (while thinking 4gate) and I see no zealot, and an early second gateway, I'll know to make my first proxy pylon near or just inside my own base, and then head across the map with my 6 stalkers and 1 zealot at 5:30-5:35 and warp in 4 additional zealots at the top of the enemies ramp around 6:20...... and they can't do anything about it. I would have had everything red had at 7 minutes at 6:20-6:25

  • @chipmanman1 it is not hard to beat this build. Scout it, and you win

  • Is this build (or a slight variation) viable in other matchups for some heavy early pressure?

  • @Acres2 This is very similar to several openers of protoss vs terran, where the terran decides to either tech up or fast expand without gas.. stalkers can outmicro non stim marines and contain the terran at his base quite well. That's about it. Zerg doesn't really care about 3 stalkers on the map, they can easily have 24 zerglings sub 6 minutes(40 some odd at 6:30), while still having an expansion and 3 queens.

  • @chipmanman1 Ok sweet, thanks man

  • I win 95% of my pvp's in high diamond with this build, it doesnt even matter if the opponant doesnt do 4gate. The only build that beats this build is someone with way better micro than you, or super crazy fast rush to colossus build, and almost nobody does those builds because they lose 100% of the time to 4gates

    TY ARTOSIS for showing this

  • i did this it worked well in beggining but then got he got 5 voids vs collosus qq :(

  • Is it just me, or should red have warped in units at his proxy pylon outlining his base and turned artosis around and saved his pylon and taken map control much earlier

  • @chipmanman1

    Wrapgate research wasnt finished yet i dont think..

  • artosis is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bought gsl membership to see more casting from this baller G 

  • So... You withstood a standard 4 Gate... But have you tried this vs a Korean 4 Gate? That thing is beyond annoying... How would you deal with any 4 Gate with an unusually early timing? Because that 5 minute mark timing by the Korean 4 Gate is significantly different from an attack at the 5:30 or the 5:45 minute mark...

  • @Oreoclan This build by default stops a k4g because you can force that probe out of your base very early. K4g doesn't work unless they can build pylons in your base, and the aggressive stalker play forces him to walk from his base to yours. if he's doing it with zealots, it's a firing range.

  • @tombeutler Unless you get early Sentries, he can just as easily walk it up your ramp. I mean, warp a Pylon near the ramp, run Zealots up (he won't have Zealots or Sentries yet), then warp Zealots at the top of his ramp. If he engages, you win. If not, engage the Probes, stop his economy, and eventually overrun his base with Zealots. This DOES NOT beat a Korean 4 Gate by default. It just means he can't warp straight into your mineral line.

  • @Oreoclan mind you, at the pro gaming level 80-90% of PvP's are 4 warpgates, at that level i assure you at this point in the game, no one does korean 4 gate

  • No sound?

  • love youre tutorials keep on (=

  • As long as you scout with the stalkers and find his pylon in time this build is solid. If you don't kill his probe or pylon in time you are pretty much screwed. Plus anyone who does this is usually in the lower leagues like bronze, silver and will not even execute the 4 gate rush at the right time.

  • bäm

  • i bet you lost in the end and thats why you cut the replay and dont showthe final battle ;)

  • can you up the replay of this game? ;[

  • <3 yus

  • great vid art XD

  • @MariosGuy sry, iPhone fuckup. As I was saying, his opponent made mistakes, and not scouting makes it a game

  • @MariosGuy but not scouting gives him an economic advantage. Not to mention his opponent made

  • @haunter90 ur a noob. 4gate is about the timing and well excuted 4gate warps 4 units with a zealot n 2 stalkers around 5:15 game time. Ur build would be too late to block. U obviously r a noib

  • bad vid don't do it :) the person he played was obviously a complete nubcake :) Whenever i'd 4gate some1 i start making sentries+stalkers in my base until WG is finished and proxy pylon will always go be put down WITH the army i already gathered , also the korean who played artosis didn't even bother putting an expo down after he attacked so....gold-silver-bronze league any1?-_-

  • @haunter90

    I wouldn't put down an expo at that stage, what if you win, but do damage. He still might get colossus way faster then you and then you're fucked

  • "4gate... something that isn't that hard to execute"

    as if the difficulty of 4gating has any relevance whatsoever

  • @ztaylor3712 It does because it means you are likely to see it even in lower leagues.

  • Artosis just got lucky in this game. No scouting? 2gate would've owned him.

  • @koggit you completely missed the point of the video lol...

    he's showing that this can defend you against a 4gate in PvP since 4gate is what most toss players do on the ladder.

  • @MariosGuy ...without scouting.

  • @koggit scouting is a given. and someone like artosis knows this. who cares if he didnt scout well in this game. he saw the replay and saw what he did so decided this would be good to do a video on.

    scouting should be a no brainer. he doesnt have to teach u how to scout.

  • This is great, because even if your opponent isn't going to 4 gate, you can just transition into 3 gate expand right away, and still have the robo up.

  • Doubt he lost to a proxy stargate. Just warp in some stalkers in his base.. lol

  • I love this!!! :O :O

  • This build is easily counted by a gas-steal.. Any high-tier protoss would steal the gas when he sees that he doesn't build the initial zealot.

    Now he has the choice to go out and hunt pylons and never get his second gas. Or try to take the second gas and have a 4gate knocking at his front door.

    Just sayin..

  • @xzidez so what you're saying is that the 3 stalker build fails on gas steal. Could you explain why rather then just stating it? It's not obvious 1+1=2 for everyone sorry :P

  • @MrAgnost

    As you see in his build he takes his second gas quite fast in order to tech. Without that initial zealot you cant bring down a gassteal without having to invest quite the time in it. In this time he should be out hunting the proxy pylon as you see in the video.

    A gas steal will result in 2 things.

    1. He is taking down the gas and you can place your proxy pylon safe outside the base and 4gate him.

    2. He is hunting your prylons. and wont be able to take his second gas until very late.

  • @xzidez Ok so then you should just invest the 25 minerals in getting the "not going to finish this yet anyway" assimilator or just let it build ? Or is that just plain crazy talk

  • @MrAgnost

    Kinda depends...

    If you steal it and he starts chronoboosting his gateway (before core finishes), he is def making a zealot, you should cancle.

    But if he is not and going stalker first. Just let it finish and try to be aggressive (smaller maps). This way he will have a really hard time destroying your assim. It will also be a great giveaway if he is committing to a 4gate. or trying to tech.

  • artosis is terrible. psy is way better.

  • PANDABEARGUY NO!

    4:25

  • Thanks artosis! Wanted someone to upload a demonstration of that TL strat Post

  • did you win this game :) ???

  • 6:30 opponent kills his own stalker?

  • @derba indeed.. and he was already behind.. >__>

  • @derba lol yeah

  • @derba hahahahahhaha

  • @derba its clearly the immortal killing that stalker

  • @whydoesthismatter are you stupid?

  • @whydoesthismatter ???? lmao its hilarious how you say clearly then when you actually watch it he did kill his own stalker and artosis' immortal was kiting zealots but yeah CLEARLY was the immortal killing the stalker (ps ur an idort)

  • @derba it was a spy. he had to kiill him.

  • @derba That special tactics would be ideal for famous people.

  • Comment removed

  • Should've scouted for those crazy proxy stargate Artosis

  • Why did he kill the bear...

  • @miguelangel39 for food, he was hungry

  • CecilSunkure deserves mad props for interpreting this build from a VOD and noticing how strong it would be against a 4gate, especially since the VOD in question did not involve a 4gate.

  • We want to know how did this finished ! xD

  • hes a 4Gater like nearly every Korean toss scratch that like nearly every Toss Worldwide xd

  • lol Artosis quickly cut away from the needless murder of that poor Ursadak at 4:24

  • i do 2 gate stalkers opening all the time, i just have a bad back up plan :P

  • there are 2 kinds of 4 gate rushes, the one where they make a gateway on 10/18 and try avoiding making attacking units till cybernetics and warp gate is complete and one where they play more standard 4 gate and get it at 12-13/18 does this build work as efficiently (if stalkers are used correctly) for both 4 gate strategies?

  • so did artosis win?

  • So what does Cecil have to do with this?

  • @Owens867

    He put together the build order from a VOD of IMYongHwa playing vs ZeNEXPuzzle in the GSL and posted the results of a night of trial and erroring the build on Team Liquid where I imagine Artosis saw it.

  • @Dhalphir pretty sure it was against FFMon unless thats another ID of his?

  • @symatic Yeah I made the same mistake, turns out FFMon and Puzzle are the same person.

  • Collossi or Collosuses, Artosis. 'Collossus' is NOT the plural form of 'collossus'.

  • Minigun teaches a very similar build on his stream. I think this one will become standard very soon.

  • Please keep the tutorials going :D

  • you sound like paedo in family guy at very end

  • i was considering switching from protoss because of how much 4 gate was ruining pvp, so big thanks to artosis for showing us how to do this build

  • We wanted to see the killing blow :(

  • Get the msg to the korean server to 1 gate 1 robo attack artosis, hes not even scouting

  • @Kgeorge86 if you watched the minimap, he definitely scouted his opponent, he just didn't want to show it because he wanted to focus on the build itself

  • @jmslocum16 he comented on how he isnt scouting

  • And this is the guy you have to listen too. It irritates me scrubs nowdays like Husky trying to make instructional videos all of the sudden and talking sooo much but sooo much fucking stupidity, it makes me want to call artosis and tell him hey dude, go teach this kid what to do, so he can in turn teach the gold leaguers that watch his channel how to properly play.

  • havent people realized 3 gate robo beats 4 gate like a couple months ago?

  • @legend1370 no it doesnt,especially if they have a shitload of zealots

  • @legend1370 This is a different build that relies on 3 stalkers. It's called the Korean 3 Stalker Robo on liquipedia 2.

  • @legend1370

    it doesn't, especially not with the whole "warp zealots up your ramp" addition to the strategy. I'm not saying it can't, i'm just saying that it wont consistently stop 4wg

  • at least show us the ending:)

  • @fujins7 the ending was obvious

  • This is the best build for Protoss. You can transition fast and still hold a 4gate all in even if you don't find their pylons. If Artosis didn't supply cap himself you can hold on until immortal. Recommend getting a 2nd sentry after 4th sentry though. To hold contain for a little longer. It should even work on a large ramp map if you micro back as they push in to give time for immortal to warp in.

  • Artosis lost to proxy stargate that's why he didn't show us all game.

  • @bmxklavs LOL you're so right, I didn't notice the void ray at the end xD

  • @bmxklavs

    lol, or proxy dts:P

  • @bmxklavs

    The rest doesn't matter anyway, its an OPENING

  • @bmxklavs

    void rays are so useless in PvP

  • @AllstarHunE nope

  • @bmxklavs good eye :)

  • @bmxklavs That's pretty much what I was thinking.

  • @bmxklavs I see the block on the minimap, but I can't imagine how he possibly could have lost the game where he paused it. He had 2 colossi with a large gateway army right outside the guy's base. What was going to stop him from just walking in there and killing everything? 2 Stalkers can stop a void ray, and his warp gates were done at this point.

    I think he won this game, it'd be amazing if he lost.

  • @CraftingStars Yeah but may be he did some embarrassing move, and set his phone to ring so that we would believe someone is calling him to cover that :D

  • ARTOSIS!!!

    You show us this whole video and then don't even bother to show the best part: you crushing the 4gating scum. mmmmm 4gater tears mmmm.....

  • im sceptical. this is a micro intense build which revolves around finding pylons / probes. this is much harder on bigger maps

  • 4:25 WTF, man? You don't kill the PandaBearGuy, ergo you don't kill the NotAPandaBearGuy!

  • omg! Ive seen White-ra open in this exact same way. a relative LONG time aggo. against a friend of mine in a tourny. only he waited till he had 5 stalkers and then went for 4 gate with a warp prism. the 5 stalkers took over the entire map. ofcourse my friend wasn't as high level as white-ra. but white-ra opened exactly the same.

  • @ruudhollenberg "only he waited till he had 5 stalkers and then went for 4gate with warp prism" is not nearly the same -.- guess you just wanted to tell how your friend played against whitera, soooo.... cool story bro

  • @xxderdickexx if he'd attack with his first 3 it would be the same opening. and im not here to brag. Im just a gold leaguer

  • @ruudhollenberg Yeah well youre still wrong. The pushing with 3 Stalker is THE exential part of this build, its called "triple stalker push". A 4 Rax All In is not the same build as a 2 Rax Expo, just because you could've done the same at some time.

  • Artosis, the true gentleman, not even bothering to finish the replay to gloat over his win. *golf clap*

  • @whowahuh Or he messed up horribly and killed his own colossi, and the game turned into a 3 hour game with loads of BM.

  • 4 gate is not really hard to stop.

  • Spoiler Alert! He loses that final push.

  • Poor ursadack :(

  • your so dead if he 4 gate fake you :D

  • 10,000 people in the world are now going to change from 4 gate rush

  • he won because he killed pandabear guy II. Artosis was right from the start! The curse became a blessing in the second part.

    Oh and cool build :) Love these new thingies!

  • I think he loses the battle there, that's why he cut it early lol

  • ANY TIME!!!!!!

    any time I start finding something cool and winning on BNet with it, some stupid How to shit guide comes up one or two days later and everyone starts doing it GOD DAMN IT!!!

  • @MsTamuin Exept zerg imbalance

  • Mr. Vegetarian...i saw you kill that animal out of rage of not finding the probe...shame on you!! ^^ i <3 you Rogue Cerebrate =P

  • Great build but hard to execute as hell! Def not a build for lower leagues i think

  • 4:25 Only a vegetarian would do that.

  • SOOOOO good to have a good Protoss player releasing videos :D thanks Artosis.

    Also you know what's best about a PvP replay? You're guarunteed to hear the Protoss music!!! Best music in the game <3 <3

  • Thank you!

    I have been so tired of playing pvp, even though I have played less than 30 of them (recently switched from zerg to random). This 4 gate stuff bores the heck out of me.

    I had some success with 2 gate openings, but that's kinda boring as well. This build seems fun to execute.

    Anyone has an idea how it does against other common pvp builds? It seems solid to me ...

  • thanks artosis :)

  • Comment removed

  • The cynicism and negativity from many of you guys is really depressing.

  • What hidden tech did your opponent decide to build off at the 9 o'clock position near the end of the video?
