Analysis

3-gate blink is similar to 4-gate blink, but is more on the timing attack side instead of the all-in side as it doesn't invest in a 4th gateway.

-Only chrono boost your probes once (after the first pylon finishes), otherwise Harstem will show up at your house and use his "You Suck" stamp on your forehead

-Stop at 38 probes, which is 2 bases of minerals and 2 gases

-Build a maximum of 14-17 stalkers (1-2 rounds of warp ins after the initial 11 stalkers)

-After build completes, start forge (+1 armor) and charge, and go to 8 gateways, followed by a robotics bay.

-Mid-game will have zealots & 3 colossi->disruptors

-In the case of a 3-rax, abort the push and focus on defending. Spend your money on an immortal and colossi, with batteries at your bases
