Analysis

Early Game Build Order

The goal of the early game is to safely get phoenix off 2 bases, before taking a third around 4:30. At this point a robo and twilight is added to move into the midgame.

3 opening builds are included in the Team Liquid write up: Nexus first into 2 Gate Adept, Gate Gas Nexus, and Nexus into Gate/Forge.

The SALT build order is for Gate Gas Nexus.

Mid Game Build Order

At this point in the game, you third base should be finishing, twilight and robo both on the way.

Get Charge and +2 attack 2 immortals -> observer -> constant immortal production

Start to add a pylon wall at your third base for overcharge against timings

Go up to 7 gates quickly

Stop at 16 probes on the third, don't take gas there.

Warp in Zealots and immortals constantly. Feel free to add adepts and their ugprade after charge.

Add Templer archives for archons and a 4th base

This is a really quick 4th base, and the reason for this is because your main will start to mine out really quickly and you need a strong economy to overwhelm your opponent.

Go up to 12-16 Gateways and add gases at third and fourth. Add second robo/bay and stargates depending on what you see.

Against lair tech zerg -> disruptors. Against hive tech zerg -> immortals/safety stargates

All the items listed below are fleshed out in detail in the Team Liquid post, I'll just include the subject headings to encourage you to go there:
