and to anyone interested (*couch* RecenT) he held it off then countered with a 3 gate push that could easily be manipulated into an expansion/stargateplay/blink etc
cough? ^^
Well, my response to that build would be 1 zealot 2 sentry then stalkers.
The only reason why I believe this build is even remotely close to being good is because Protoss players don't know how to play. They are accustomed to literally just imitating builds and they think they are safe, that it's best to be greedy and go straight into tech or the casual 3gate crap.
I see the scenario that 3 roaches is meant to kill the zealot, and the mass ling is suppose to push in and kill everything else.
Accordingly, the sentry would only have 1 FF if it was the third unit out of the gateway, but it would have 2 FF if it was the second unit out of the gateway.
Regardless, I would have gotten 2 and CB the gateway which is why I believe the 4gate would be severely delayed, giving the zerg player such an incredible amount of time. It doesn't mean the 4gate is invalid though, lol.
