    Fast Zealot Rush | Protoss | SC2 | Starcraft 2

    General Explanation :

    So I've just started out and fell in love with Protoss before even playing. I immediately took up mastering the class and learning as much as I can about it before I ever even played Starcraft. Here's the strategy I've used with BSOS and Arovien and have gotten to Platinum and Gold Ladder with less than 4 hours played time.


    WHAT YOU NEED:
    A Terran on the other team. (Sometimes even protoss, preferred terran)
    A zerg (Preferred) or terran partner that will scout for you, as you are busy making.


    Here's the build:

    Pump out 2 probes quickly and when you're at 9/10, throw in one more and take a probe that just turned in a mineral and use it to build a PILON at the choke point. As the pylon is building, throw in another PROBE. Then take your guy back, farm one more mineral, and set up a GATEWAY.

    Once you've done that, go farm one more mineral with ur probe builder and then go and set up another GATEWAY. Then another PROBE and another PILON. Then send your probe guy back to mining, you won't need him for a little while.

    Chrono boost the first gateway and pump out a ZEALOT. By the time your second one is on the way, make another ZEALOT in the second gateway. Then pump out another PROBE, then start stacking ZEALOTS.

    At about 7-8 ZEALOTS, your partner should have scouted the terran that is about to get owned. Send your guys over to rally, keep pumping out PILONS and ZEALOTS and a few PROBES in the mix. When your guys hit, you should have 4 ZEALOTS on the way, and another 4 after that soon.

    The extra REINFORCEMENTS are key because they surround the opponent's partner who just ran in to help his ass. Now the surrounded just became the surrounded.

    If your partner is a zerg, he can make two or three banelings if the Terran is walled in completely and explode his bunkers. Zealots rush in, hit minerals, its GG.

    If he didn't wall up and left a hole ( this happened 7/10 times) your partner should rush speedlings and boom. You just won.

    Now, to learn how to actually play this game since my next match is a Platinum one xD

    Hope this helped.

    BUILD ORDER SIMPLIFIED:
    8/10 Probe
    9/10 Probe
    10/10 Pilon
    10/18 Probe
    11/18 Gateway
    11/18 Gateway
    12/18 Probe
    13/18 Pilon
    15/26 Zealot (Boosted)
    16/26 Probe
    20/26 Zealot (1st and 2nd Gateway) (Boosted)
    Then start pumping out pilons and Zealots Make sure you rush with 7-8, then 4 more otw in a min
    _/42 throw in a cybernetics core. By now it should be GG. If not expand after 4 more.

    With the expansion otw start pumping out probes. Normally this is where you decide that our rush hasnt worked as well as you wanted it to and start researching Warp Gates, Stalkers, and whatever else you choose.

    Blackened you need to break down the build order better by not having it built within a paragraph. For example :

    8/10 - probe
    9/10 - probe
    10/10 - pylon (Then go build etc etc etc)
    11/18 - probe / gateway

    Will be done in 10 minutes.
