3 Base +2 Blink Attack (State) (PvZ Economic)
Description
Currently, most Protoss players are favoring 2 base timing attacks, but you can play it more economically as well. With this build, State opens 1 Gate Expand into quick upgrades. On 3 bases and 9 Gateways, he gears up for a 7:00 attack with Blink Stalkers and Sentries, with a Robo Bay ready for Disruptors and to transition.
It seems that State has timed this build out precisely as he uses this exact same build in 3 out of 5 games in a series:
As such, the build is somewhat lengthy, but consider it quite precise.

Analysis
In each of the games, State ends up not hitting the timing he quite wants. Snute hits first with:
- 3 base Ravager
- Hydra/Lurkers
- Mutas
None of these strategies are instant losses for State, so it seems that the build is flexible enough to get units out to defend while still being extremely economic.
