Learn to macro like a pro! : Beginner Protoss Build Order Guide (2024)

Time stamps for Chrono pls?

Hi @probe_sc2 I have used this build to go from 2800mmr which I had been stuck in for years to go to 3200mmr in about a month. But have reached a point where against terran i need a build that gives me more units early. Would you or anyone else be able to recommend what build to use to take the next step? or how to adapt this one to that requirement? thanks for the great content!

love it when he says "i dont want you distracted from the build by scouting" :) makes Goz smile

Is this build still viable? I’m pretty new to sc2 so seeing a two year old build makes me wonder. If so how do you proceed later on in the game with this build do you opt into skytoss or just keep on pumping chargelots/archons/immortals?

I have 8 hours to learn star craft 2 cus I beat my friend in another game and now he wants his revenge 😭 hopefully this helps lol

Excellent TY ive been using this and dominating with just clean build and hard push completely committed thanks bro

In case your a dumbo like me. When he says 14 Pylon, 16 Gateway, 17 Gas, etc... That means at that amount of Probes you'd want to build the following.

Против зерга ходите в разведку после гейта, иначе примерно в 1 50 - 2 00 прибегут линги и скушают вас быстренько.

Thank you for the tips now i know how to beat that A.I

vs terran it's better to make a wall in your main, connecting minerals to the edge of the map, so that a reaper can't circle around your mining probes.. not to mention that walling on lowground will trap you in your own base vs tank pushes

the thing that pisses me off about the current sc2 community is the obvious highly skilled players playing in noob territory for easy wins. It was not like this years ago when i played. Its gotten pretty toxic so thank you for this guide.

I did this and got to platinum
What can I do to improve it further?

For beginners, I've seen some advice online that recommends only focusing on one unit such as stalker or maybe void ray. Maybe that's less advanced than this tutorial.

"the natural" ?

if you do this you can easily get to masters? no you dont. it takes more that to get to maters.

Thks for that video. I been playins 2vs 2 Im terran and my friend zerg. We often lose bcoz protoss ships and often wonder how come they build so many units so fast? I do 4 factory 4 spaceports and by the time that we get attacked. Whats wrong ? I also just started trying protoss maybe easier to play with. I noticed they build lot faster and have boost for building. But if we follow your build how can we fight against ships ?

could you please make the 3-base version of this build order?

Holy shit, just did this and won the game and got first place in a 3v3 🤯

at 4.17 you have only a stalker, an immortal. at 4.05 AI harder level will come with 10 marines and 5 marauders. So how can we beat this strong group ?

ive used this a few times now and a trend im seeing is when I attack the enemy always seems to land in my main base and we end up base trading constantly but most of the time im able to recover. Any tips on how to survive a fast reaper or battlecruiser rush?

I started only wanting to play protoss. That opinion cannot and will not be changed

So, do the numbers mean the amount of each structure I want out?
14 pylon + 22.. I'm gonna want 36 pylons out during the match, and 20 Nexus, 20 cores, etc...? Or am I misunderstanding?

The video is pure gold, I just started playing pvp and i got absolutely recked despite having 130 APM and abundant knowledge of the game (co-op and campaign) because my macro sucks. Now im practically bullying enemies since they cant flex (mass marine, mass BC, mass thor etc)

Ive watched this video 5 times and i dont underrstand whay units youre building in your army

I can only understand youee building immortals and observers

I see zelots also but you mention to mass archons.. i need help

facci sapere

How do you deal with cloaked ghost cheese and nuclear launches as well as battlecruisers?

sorry if this is obvious but what does 14 pylon 16 gateway etc. actually mean? what do the numbers mean..?

First time playing in years and I was struggling in my matches. Followed this build order and won, no problem. Excellent

My main Build order!!! Thank you

Tried 4 times so far and been cheesed every time

against terran built ur wall at jumper spot to block reapers.. it allways matters where u built against other races

Hey , im pretty new to pvp. Im asking myself, how is this safe against medivac invade ? Couldnt a terraner just drop marines in the main base ?

nice vid i think im new 2 starcraft so i dont really know xD

Bro really BM’d a bot 🥹

As a new player to this game I have no idea what any of this guide is trying to tell me 😢

The fact that you state SCOUTING ISNT IMPORTANT IS A JOKE

What mean the left number on the corner, i mean "14" Pylon, "16" Gateway, etc... this number what means in your guide?

My probes always gets rushed :<

what do the numbers actually mean ? ("14" pylon, "16" gateway etc etc)

Do you have a video that is just creating a protos Fleet

this built is bad vs cheese and all in 1 base. Good luck against that... and vs rush lings haha have fun losing!

What do you do if you push with these units and they have some air units? Seems they are pretty ground oriented right?

Post more!

What can I do against the early reaper terran players always use?

Ive been a casual off and on SC player since the early days. This is easily the best guide ive ever found. Just awesome.

If ur opponent is not doing anything to you for the first 6mins, yea u can win every single game. However if they do anything to stop you from doing the build order correctly u lose all the time. For example if enemy 1 base all in u, u lose no matter what since u do no scouting. If terran drops mines into ur base constantly and fked ur build order once again u lose and u cant stop his mines all ins.

Just started playing this build and I already beat a Very Hard Terran AI with this macro style build which I struggled to beat macro style for months. Thank you!
