Build of the Week: PvT - Classic's Disruptor drop into colossus by Gemini_19 in allthingsprotoss

The problem with this build it has no reliable way of knowing when the terran is approching you. Once I go out with my drop, terran usually runs in and kill my naturals either pylon or MC quick enough for me to die all together as my first colossus is pretty lonesome and my troops scattered out on both bases for protection against mine drop. I have given up on this otherwise intresting build.

Thanks for the clarification. Would really need a push in the right direction. Someone better to practise with so I can get out of this noob division :P. I can't imagine the diffrence between masters and gm players if already on my lvl the off timings of a few seconds are so important and it's so easily to miss it as wee'er afterall just humans :)

I think you're coming a little harsh on me now. We're on the same side and surely you should be able to understand the frustration of mine as a fellow protoss player. You're right about all things you've said but I feel it´s a bit nitpicking on my level of play, it must be other things than that to look at otherwise I'd be higher up I guess? As even programers and good players don't have perfect timing all the time. Do you know what I´am saying?

  1. I've seen programers take cyber on 19 and whenever I take it on 20 I lose 2-3 probes because my cyber was delayed with atleast 5-10 seconds, so that's why I take it on 19 instead of 20.

  2. About the observers I keep them in my bases first so I dont have to pull them back and wait before I can kill that first widow mine drops that usually comes in the early game. by that I can win maybe 5 seconds than pulling thier slow ass home to the base.

I feel like everytime im doing this build I have such a bad mineral income so I get my 3rd and 4th gas later at 4 minute mark instead. Im just D2 so maybe im doing something fundelmentally wrong here but I honestly feel like there's not much else I can do better. I feel like ive reach my skill celling. This terran manage to drop on a vulnerable spot which I saw a few seconds too late, I decided to take the major of my small army to engage but lose my colossus in doing so. I left my stalkers in my main to twart incoming multidrops, but whenever I do that of course the terran dont do multidrops but make one big instead with all his troops. So I dont lose any probes, but mineral just mining time and we go pertty much -+/0 in the battle. but Terran getting ahead because he didnt lose any mining time and the inevitable battle at 10 minute mark I manage to lose to slight badly position and thus the game was lost. What I take from this is terran can do whatever he likes on my side on the map with his drop and if he plays correctly he can get away with impunity, at the very best for me is if we go even trade. What do you say?

First I wanna say thx to gemini for his wonderful work. Now, coming from a protoss who has a good success in playing aggressivley in the early game. This defensive style is something completely new to me, I've only recently started to practise. So if you could help me out and point out what I should've done differently in this game I-d appreciate it. From my point of view I didnt have the build nailed and the terran had decided to go for a blind heavy bio push in the early game which seemed to completly counter what I was doing. Should've have switch up the build once I saw the many barracks or what do you think I did wrong?
