General Idea

You will be trying to get your first Colossus out fairly quickly. In doing so you become vulnerable to a 4 gate or 3 gate Immortal push. A good way to deal with this is to simply get a few Sentry’s to hold off an early push at your ramp. Once you have 2-3 Colossus you will be in a very strong position once you push out against a mainly Gateway army.

 

Notes

• Aside from using Sentry’s to block your ramp from a push, going relativly Zealot heavy will allow you to more easily defend against and early push with Gateway units and Immortals. Although strong vs. Stalkers, Immortals do not do so well vs. Zealots.
• Be sure to get an Observer early on once your Robotics Facility is up, you need to see what your opponent plans on doing and when they push out.
• Once you have your first Colossus coming your next priority should be to get the Thermal Lance upgrade, the extra range will really give you the advantage over an opponent who doesn’t have it for their Colossus.
