8 stalker Pressure Opening - PvP (PvP Timing Attack)

Description

This is a nice opening to apply pressure and keep your opponent honest. It allows a good chance to work on the tightness of your opening and stalker micro.

Analysis

• You should be constantly poking and asserting map control/dominance with stalkers as well as looking for proxies with your probe and stalkers if you're not sure what they're doing
• It's very situational how much you should commit - take any fights that favour you and hunt down any adepts on the map
• your have many power points where each time another 2 stalkers arrive you potentially can take a good fight
• in this example i spotted the early immortal so swapped the last 2 stalkers for adepts that helped tank its shots and provided the chance to shade into the main base if I couldn't overwhelm
