This fakes an aggressive or sneaky play, but in reality you're just putting your 2nd Pylon on the map somewhere random and then expanding like normal. A further development from here was to just proxy/hide the 2nd Pylon without placing a tech structure there. In response, players started proxying their 2nd Pylon more often, even if it was simply to hide their tech from the fast Hallucination scout. With the faster Hallucination scout timing due to the energy cost decrease, it became very easy to scout your opponent's tech before deciding on your own tech route.
One important development in PvP since the changes earlier this year has been the use of proxied Pylons. The way in which you saturate your gasses isn't the MOST important thing in the world-however the way I suggest in the build notes is the way to maximize your mineral and gas income to let the build flow as seamlessly as possible. It starts off with nothing too fancy, just a regular 2-gate PvP opening that goes into Stalker/Sentry as many of you should be familiar with. Since there were alterations in the early game forcing some delays in the build, I then based the rest of the timings off of uninterrupted standard play to serve as a baseline.
The build notes were created by combining aspects of a game from Stats and also a game from herO who did a similar build. However, it continues to be a staple of macro play in the match-up, and this updated version had plenty of success at IEM Katowice. The concept for this build is by no means new. ~6:30 - 7:00 3rd Nexus (Earlier if only 6 Gates)Ĭonstant Chargelot + 2x Immortal -> Warp +2 Attack -> Hit w/~3 Archons, 2 Immortals, bunch of ChargelotsĪnother example of a Robo variation upon scouting a fast 3rd Gateway with the Probe scout. ~4:45 Robo + 2x Gas + Twilight Robo -> Immortal Production +1 Attack -> +2 Attack [Constant Twilight Council -> Charge + Templar Archives Pause Probes Stalker/Sentry -> 2x Sentry (Delay as you wait for 2nd 100 gas)ģ:00 Hallucination 2x Sentry -> 2x Low ground pylon -> Shield BatteryĮxtra Shield Battery in main if WG -> 2x Adept Pylon (Optional) or 2x Stalkerģ:30-3:45 Forge -> +1 Attack Pylon (Optional: Proxied with scouting Cyber -> Stalker + Sentry + WG This specific build that Stats and some other Protoss players used at Katowice is a modernized version of a previous style that is designed to be as safe as possible while still smartly cutting corners to give yourself a strong lead in tech and upgrades while going into the mid-game. After asking both PartinG and PtitDrogo, they testified to the build's solid place in the match-up and the frequency of its use by them and many other Protoss.

Despite it being a month ago, the styles shown at IEM are still being used heavily today and are a good summary of how the professional meta has developed. So much has changed since the end of last year which has made PvP (and the other match-ups as well) much more interesting and fun, so I'm excited to get back into breaking some of these new styles down for you all!įirst up, we have an introduction to one of the safest and most solid ways to play in PvP in the recent meta, featuring Stats and his amazing run from IEM Katowice last month. Stats' 3-Sentry Expand into Fast ForgeI stayed away from PvP when all that was happening in the meta was Phoenix vs Phoenix, but now there are enough cool things going on that PvP is a good place to resume PBOTW. I hope you enjoy and be sure to read the whole write-up before asking any questions as I'm sure some of them will be answered in here!
