I was writing down his builds as they were happening, and though it ultimately wasn&#8217;t that useful for me (I&#8217;m looking for HotS builds), maybe it&#8217;ll be useful for you.<\/p>\n<p>In the first game, he used a sentry drop to block the ramp into the natural, busted the bunker, forced a lift of the CC. I think he ended up winning<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Game 1: PvT on Akilon Flats<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard protoss opening<\/li>\n<li>19 Stalker<\/li>\n<li>23 Nexus<\/li>\n<li>24 Assimilator<\/li>\n<li>25 Stalker<\/li>\n<li>27-29 Robo<\/li>\n<li>31 Sentry<\/li>\n<li>More sentries in-between<\/li>\n<li>38 Warp prism<\/li>\n<li>40 Gate, Gate<\/li>\n<li>42 Gate<\/li>\n<li>47 Gate Gate<\/li>\n<li>Attack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In game 2, he went for a Stalker\/Phoenix push. He straight up lost to an expand-DT build<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Game 2, PvP on Entombed Valley<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>16 Assimilator<\/li>\n<li>19 Gateway<\/li>\n<li>19 Stalker<\/li>\n<li>23 Stalker,\u00a0Stalker<\/li>\n<li>29 Stargate<\/li>\n<li>34 forward Pylon<\/li>\n<li>(has 5 Stalkers at this point)<\/li>\n<li>37 Phoenix<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In game 3, he goes for a similar build. This time, it works, but mostly on the strength of some good Stalker micro early on while &#8220;chat cheating&#8221; his opponent.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Game 3, PvP, also Entombed Valley<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>15 Pylon<\/li>\n<li>17 2nd Assimilator<\/li>\n<li>18 Gateway<\/li>\n<li>19 Stalker<\/li>\n<li>23 Stalker Stalker<\/li>\n<li>More stalkers; I&#8217;m guessing he cut probe production around here<\/li>\n<li>33 Stargate<\/li>\n<li>35 forward Pylon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Game 4 was a rematch. This time, his opponent goes 1 gate robo expand and manages to defend the Stalker rush. HuK tries for a Sentry drop in the main to block the ramp, but it fails.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Game 4, PvP on Daybreak<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>14 double Assimilator<\/li>\n<li>16 Pylon<\/li>\n<li>17 Core<\/li>\n<li>19 Gateway<\/li>\n<li>20 Stalker<\/li>\n<li>24 Stalker Stalker (cutting probes?)<\/li>\n<li>28 Stalker<\/li>\n<li>31 Robo (for Warp Prism)<\/li>\n<li>31 Gate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So the 2 strategies for the evening were apparently a Sentry drop (forcefielding the ramp) and a Stalker-Phoenix push. Both are extremely aggressive and depend on HuK controlling better than his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know if you want more details on the builds. I just kind of figured that the opening and pylon\/probe timings should be easy enough to figure out.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, if you guys have any references on HotS Protoss builds or favorite streamers, feel free to comment. I&#8217;ll be playing around with things myself to get a good set of simple, safe HotS builds. I&#8217;ll probably post those when I have that figured out because a quick Google search revealed nothing helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was watching a bit of HuK\u00a0(go watch and support him!) tonight because I&#8217;m putting together a set of Protoss build orders as a gift.
