DeathsFang,

I almost always play against 2-rax expo with marine pushes. So I go 1-gate expo with sentries. Recently, I got rolled by ghost timing. So I'm rethinking that one.

I've tried skipping robo, and going straight for HT, but got rolled few times by 3-rax and banshees. I want to design a build around 1:1 chargelot timing. Chargelots do well against early T bio, especially with armor upgrade. Adelscott plays gateway-only PvT and fairs well enough.

I won't be able to play till next week, because my comp at home gots a fried hdd from last night, and I'm going on a hike for the whole weekend. Anyone want to test some variations of this build?

13-gate
core
robo
forge
TC
sentry
cannons
forge
2x gate

Make 1:2 chargelots and do a deathdrop. Rough timing looks somewhere around 10 min, right when 2-rax expo becomes saturated, and T finishes those 5 rax. Chrono on probes and upgrades. I think it will be better, than DT rush. Can transition into zealot-HT too. Build cannon wall at natural ramp, so you can expand safer, if you can't finish him.

thats a terrible build, why would you go forge and build cannons if u already went robo? it makes no sense... you dont have enough of an economy to upgrade that early and you can just build more units if u want to hold any early pressure. if you have trouble holding a 3 rax with a 1gate expo then go 1 gate robo into 2 gate robo expo. you will hold a 3 rax 100% of the time if u micro correctly. going straight to templars is situational and requires good game sense to not die to banshees (eg dont go straight to ht if u see fast gas followed by only marine and no maruaders with no expo). if u want to rush then the only thing u can do against a terran is 4 gate or proxy gates. there other things like blink stalker and dt but most of the time pvt is a macro battle.
