But sometimes it seems like the only way I can win anything! In PvZ, i am absolutely horrible late game. PvT is probably my best match up. PvP, its either 4gate or get 4gated.
And when I choose to 4gate, I feel bad, but then when I get 4gated, I get pissed.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Jul 27, 2010
The first chapter in the StarCraft II trilogy focuses on the struggles of the Terran race, as seen through the eyes of Commander Jim Raynor, leader of the rebel group Raynor's Raiders.
I feel bad 4gating
I think I've actually 4 gated like 5 times, and only when I saw my opponent getting really greedy incredibly early.
But yeah, PvP is a pain in the ass. I hate it cause I never 4 gate but I los to it almost all the time. I'm now experimenting with the 3 stalker build but had no chance to use it yet.
Especially after the last tournament I found out how boring PvP can get...
I don't know what the actual numbers are, but it seems like 2/3rds of the games i play are against Protoss. People I know that were playing Zerg or Terran have switched to Protoss. All the while, nobody that I have talked to likes PvP at all. If PvP sucks so much you'd think more people would stop playing Protoss.
I switched from Terran when people where using 5rax reaper to Toss. I stopped playing for a few months, and now I come back and everyone is protoss!"

I like 3gate expand mostly, but if I am getting 4gated, it is tough to hold without pulling probes, and even then it is a bit tough. Right now I am watching ROOTminigun on Team Liquid, the last 3 games either he has 4gated, or has been 4 gated.

take a look at this thread for PvZ, it really helped me to improve my play against zerg because despite all the whine by zerg my PvZ is horrrrrrrible
I almost never 4gate, only when a zerg steals my second gas I go for a 1gas Zealot+Stalker 4gate and I#d estimate my winrate to be at around 90% when doing that :P
It just seems to easy and I don't feel like I'm improving when 4gating, practicing macrogames and your overall mechanics will help you with any build tho.
I remember iNcontroL talking about "shark" mode when he was coaching live on his stream to some annoying 14 year old and his brother.
Yeah I know what you're saying. It's tough to hold and so many Toss loooove it. Did you see that build Artosis just put up on his youtube recently? Using three fast stalkers to hold it. I haven't tried it but it seems pretty cool I wanna practice it and give it a shot." @Chubbaluphigous said:

" @Cataphract1014 said:I've been doing quite fine with 2gate+robo in PvP normally, some sentrys and a chronoboosted immortal tend do do quite well... then transition into 3gate+colossi or take an expo if possible and go effin crazy with colossi+voidray+mothership :DYeah I know what you're saying.
