Robert Timecock 19 Posted May 5, 2011 Is the shit. Easy to do, high success rate, and it often creates interesting games if your opponent manages to hold you off. Anybody else like to do this?(If you don't know, 4gating is rushing to get 4 gateways and Warp Gate so you can warp a consistent stream of stalkers, zealots, or sentries into their base via a pylon at their expansion or somewhere near their base) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avery 794 Posted May 5, 2011 Pretty sure a lot of people have studied this or something. It was found that you could maintain warping in 4 units max per cooldown of the gates. So it just uses your resources the best instead of having them sit there, and not Having warp gates without enough mimerals.That's my guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Timecock 19 Posted May 5, 2011 annnnnd it's getting nerfed next patch.GGThat would be retarded as hell. It's not overpowered, most people just don't know how to deal with it. (At least in Gold League, lol) I always check to see if a protoss is throwing down a pylon in or near my base. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
