PartinG's NexusFirst 8-Gate Blink-Stalker (PvP Timing Attack)
Description
This BO (Build Order) is probably not viable in Master/GM anymore, because the MetaGame shifted in the last few month. But players from Bronze to Diamond should take a look at this.
Maps: Proxima, BloodBoil, Honorgrounds, DuskTowers and all large maps (Alterzim, Apotheosis, etc)
InGame: There is a training map to try this build. "Multiplayer - Custom" and search for "Proxima" or "SALT".
