Depends on the followup to your gasless or reaper expand. What was the Terran's infrastructure when he scouted this?

let's say you are heading directly towards stim bio
you
won't
have
enough
shit

only if you don't expand before you start stimpack. But that's retardedly bad, and protoss can rofl at 1base shit.

1 rax FE -> 3 rax + stim should give you enough. Old WoL build but it produced enough to stop a regular 4 gate. No reason it wouldn't stop a blink 4 gate.

But of course this leaves you open to different timings, removes your potential to do early widow mine drops, lowers medivac/viking count due to a later starport...

Neither was this a too good solution in wol, nor is it here. In wol at least the protoss needed a fucking robo to get an obs, now he has an msc instantly

It was a fine solution in WoL. I do not see how the addition of a msc makes this response to the specific build weaker.

obviously he didnt prepare for this very well if he lost, right? i see terran streamers hold that off all the time

To quote a famous progamer that sometimes posts here:
"Brace yourselves, the tears are coming"

it was never a _fine_ solution, it could be held, but you still had to sweat blood.


I wonder how many times have you seen it.

As you should have to. You picked a greedy opening (FE) and your opponent is attempting to punish you for it.
