    Really impressive build order, just started playing sc2 this week and it got me to plat1, struggling with early game cheese, but once I weather the storm, basically it’s a guaranteed win

    thanks for the tutorial!
    after playing with terran and zerg for weeks - started playing SC 2 around a month ago - I finally gave in to the temptation to play protoss and with this build I quickly reached 2500 MMR :D
    my max was like 2150 so far so this is really working and feels great
    Zerg is still problematic -- early ravager / roach rush which messes up my base because im focusing too much on air, doesn't have enough cannon or anything that could defend -- but i just needd practice

    Some personal notes
    Notes
    Build pylon after 1st stargate unit to not be supply blocked.
    Lots of pylons for carriers (Will bank money after 2nd SG->FB)
    First 2 carriers can harass zerg
    When getting 4th base (3rd base saturated) at diamond+
    Can go storm vs Terran/Zerg (vs corruptor, vikings, hydras) ~
    Can go disruptors vs any race, cheaper than going storm
    ***Continuous probe production***
    Standard opener (14 pylon- low ground, 16 gate, 17 gas, 20 nexus, 20 core, 21 gas, 22 pylon)
    Cannons and 3rd Nexus interchangeable
    Void ray first (chrono)
    adept->stalker (2 adepts vs zerg)
    Get stargate before warp gate (optional)
    Shield battery at natural
    Void ray (chrono)
    3:25 gases at natural (he’s at 11 probes in nat at this point)
    2nd stargate (2nd void before SG in PvP)
    Fleet Beacon 4:00
    ***Natural base saturation at 4 mins
    Pylon
    Forge
    Use extra money on cannons at the front, mineral lines etc
    He built 1 cannon at nat ->2 carriers->1 cannon in main mineral line
    ***Remember to get enough pylons for first 2 carriers***
    Carriers- chrono both
    Cannons (initially 1 in main mineral line, 1 at nat to prevent harass)
    Note- Stop probe production after 2 base saturation until Carriers start building
    3rd Nexus (5:11) - 68/78 with 2 carriers in production
    2 more carriers
    Battery and cannon at 3rd (battery in mineral line, cannon forward- perhaps for carrier micro up the cliff)
    +1 air attack
    3rd Stargate (7:00) at 3rd base saturation - 108/125 (4 carriers, 2 more in production)
    3rd base is saturated at this point
    Notes
    Take gas at 3rd base and later when base is saturated
    ***Chronos are all going to carriers
    Get up to 75-80 probes for 4 base saturation
    Probe builds 1 battery and 2 cannons at 3rd (can add more)

    @entingzhang2305 Рік тому +9

    This is actually a PVZ build order that went wild in the Chinese ladder after the voidray meta. You can get +1 air attack and go for a double carrier pressure that focuses on killing queens. It is really hard for the zerg to deal with because the only viable counter for zerg is corruptors. And they must scout if the protoss is going skytoss or chargelot archon groundtoss after that. This build gets me(60 APM) to 68% PVZ win rate in NA 4000 MMR range(PVT is 30% because people start to do well splitting storm and disruptors and gateway units suck against stim bio with medivacs drops)

    • @ProbeSC2
      @ProbeSC2  Рік тому +5

      Yeah originally it was a PvZ and PvT build. I did the PvZ style after sOs vs Rogue in 2020 on purity and industry. I would open 4 carriers and then go double forge blink.
      In PvT I've had this style since... 2014? Pigbaby in WCS America played a similar style (and a version with double sg tempest). I took that and did 2 base all ins with 4 carriers. In lotv you can do a great carrier sentry adept all in off 2 base in PvT.
      Colour me surprised when I see classic and others recently doing the 2 carrier opening in PvZ...

    Hello! i have a question (you could say im new to the game) what do you mean by "14 pylon 16 gateway 17 gas and 20 nexus" ? thinking both timewise or in quantity none make sense to me :< also just my opinion but making a video where you speak about what exactly you're doing and why would be better than talking about other stuff because i think people cant follow your steps exactly while also paying attention to other stuff :D but maybe its just me so idk heheh

      Yeah this month I intend to get out a noobie guide that will cover all these topics.
      In this case, it refers to your supply, that you can see in the top right. Build orders are generally written out in this supply format, and will leave off the probes.

  • @doubleplay0798
    @doubleplay0798 Рік тому +2

    I've been trying this and sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't. When I lose it's usually because carriers get scouted early and I get mobbed by lings at the third base and forced to expand later than I want...Or they mass hydras or corruptors and just murder my carriers despite the batteries. I'd like to figure out this build with just pure carriers + batteries + cannons, but I usually have better luck by squeezing out storm + archons to go along with just a few carriers.

    • @ProbeSC2
      @ProbeSC2  Рік тому +1

      Yeah that can happen. If you ever get stuck it can be a good idea to just compare your execution of the build order to the video again, because we miss details, or simplify things the first time we are learning the build because it's so much to take in. I do this too, and then I'll go back and rewatch a guide and realise I'm doing something completely wrong.

  • @snowdrop9810
    @snowdrop9810 Рік тому +1

    Will you be doing more advanced buildorder guides and stuff? I stopped playing for 2 years and have been getting back into protoss, but learning builds is kindof difficult for me as the 2 stargate voidray meta dying has made PvZ buildorders less easy to learn (this was a warranted change, I'll admit that I had a 100% PvZ winrate with it, good execution+scouting+good lategame control was just unbeatable. (Also to be fair I had a 75% ish overall winrate(so my 100%PvZ wasnt that much higher), because I had ladder anxiety and practiced out of ladder so much that I never really managed to reach an mmr my skill was equal to))

    • @ProbeSC2
      @ProbeSC2  Рік тому +2

      It's hard to do these advanced sort of build orders. One reason is they quickly go out of favour. If I was to do some more build order guides, which I will, I will probably start with intermediate, then advanced, and do it after the next patch releases.

    @jamesrockybullin5250 Рік тому +1

    How does the build order change if you decide to get Stargate before Warp Gate? When my Cyber finishes at about 2:12, I have about 110 gas. Does the stargate go down the moment the Cyber finishes, or is there a delay? Should I take a probe of minerals and put on gas at any point? Cheers!
    (I'm scouting after first gate if that makes a difference.)

    • @ProbeSC2
      @ProbeSC2  Рік тому

      The gateway scout shouldn't change it in this case. There will be a slight delay before you can put the Stargate down. You still get the adept first, then Stargate, then 2nd unit, then warp gate.
      The only way this changes with Stargate first is if you go gas first, but I'm not getting y'all to do that.

    Ive been playing for a week maby slightly longer. I did play broodwars for years but only customs (mainly sunken defence). The point of my comment is im stuck on very hard ai. I figured if i cant rank up t max difficulty ai i dont need to be playing against real players even if they would be bronze. Should i stop playing random? I was watching a tournement and they said nobody does great even gm players when focusing on all 3 races. I figured playing all 3 will get me alot more knowledge and once i finish the hardest ai consistently i would pick a race(probably zerg). Is this a mistake or is it fine as long as i eventually pick 1 race?

    • @joshsteiner5736
      @joshsteiner5736 10 місяців тому

      I have 0 issue against harder difficulty with any race. But very hard I lose 2 out of 3 matches with any race exept Terran. I never liked terran even if they are probably the best race with a perfect balance of speed power and utility.

    • @ProbeSC2
      @ProbeSC2  10 місяців тому

      The downside to playing random is that you don't have to learn 3 matchups, but instead 9. And because you won't get the same race multiple games in a row you won't be able to build the mechanics for any of them.
      So if you do want to beat the AI with all races, which is a totally fine goal, then do that one race at a time. Maybe that will take you 5 games as Protoss, then you swap and it takes you 5 games as Zerg.
      Then at the end of it I would pick the race you are having the most fun with. You are much more likely to want to improve if you are playing a race you actually want to play.

      For ex- I put my warp gates on control group 4, then add Stargates to it so,
      1. I select my first gateway and press control +4. Control group 4 now has my gateway.
      2. I select my first Stargate and press shift +4. Now control group 4 has a gateway and 1 Stargate (I press 4 to get to this control group)
      3. For the next Stargate, I select the Stargate and press shift +4 to add it to control group 4.
      - now control group 4 has 1 gateway and 2 Stargates.
      To build carriers, I press 4 to select control group 4, then press tab to get to my Stargates, then I press C to build carriers
