Classic's Blink Opening (PvT Economic)
Description
This is Classic's version of the Blink opening for PvT. He is considered to be the best at this style. The build was pulled from a game against uThermal. Early chronos: two on probes, chrono the first Stalker, and then chrono Blink.
If you like the style, you can watch PiG coach a Master's 1 player using the same build or something very similar. The recording can be found on PiG's Youtube archive.

Analysis
This is a standard macro build. It gets a shield battery at the natural in case of cyclone aggression. You could cut the shield battery if the Terran is opening passively.

You're probably right. Also, I think it was a meta-game thing at the time to use cyclones with hellions to runby. So he gets the shield battery and the wall.

I saw the game, in what way did he "scout aggression"? The only things he saw was a reaper, his stalkers didn't leave his base before the shield battery. The map does not have a ramp at the natural, I think thats more of a trigger.
