new players watching this, this is indeed a very good tutorial video, but its play style of the 4 gate is definitely outdated to where protoss is standing now.

The build is slightly off, you must be able to pump your warpgate upgrade as soon as you get your cybernetics, and also the attacking timeframe is a lot slower, so for all you new protoss players, please be introduced of the play by this video, but not to copy it, there are newer tutorials for 4 gates out there, if not i'll make one.

@ikbenolaf2 A lot of protoss like to wall off with 1 zealot filling a small gap. A lot of times the zealot is is "holding position" he will attack any enemies that get in range of it but will not chase them, so marines can shoot at it and kill it easilly, or zerglings can go to the other side of the wall and work on the building while the zealot sits there, if the zealot moves you can micro around it and get inside the base easilly.

@tjv323 Don't let them build proxy (proximity) pylons near your base, early harrassment of workers or pylons near the 4-gates...

could you go 4 gate 1 robo and focus on a little tech before pushing? or is this based only on early aggression? im still pretty new to sc2 and how i usually go is 4 gate 1 robo and scout with observer before i make any push to see their army comp. if i can use a warp prism to warp in units at their mineral line. and while im scouting im teching up my units but not really focusing on building up army. is this viable? if not what are the main weaknesses??? please help

[tjv323]

What are some good ways to stop your opponent from doing this successfully?

[97pongra]

i always go like 4 warp gate and robo so you can warp in their base with warp prism (if they turtule hard)

@Multisnoopdawg I'm not sure but it loOks like this build is very weak to early rushes, maybe try that? IM still a noob at sc2 so I might be wrong, but thus send to be based of teching in 1 base without any defence...good luck :)

In the video description you sohuld do a writeup of the strategy as it's not too clear

[MultiSnoopDawg]

The only reason i dont win toss that much is because this is so easy to win with! Normal toss players never expand in order to pump units. They ither get mass void ray and lose cause they turtle to much, or they do this and win. And you might say, "ahh you lost cause your a noob in gold legue" NO!!! i have 50-60 apm avrage and i lose a player at 25 D:
