The Infamous Protoss 4 Gate Rush

Every Protoss player should already know or should know this build order strategy because this is one of the most fearsome tactics a Protoss user can muster. This is basically the Protoss 101. Mastering this strategy alone can brings you into the Diamond club. What is so strong about this strategy is its ability to constantly warping in units from your Warpgates with the use of a proxy pylon. Your army size grows significantly in a short time. Basically here is a standard build order for a 4 Warpgate rush.

9 Pylon
10 Chrono Boost 2 Probes out
12 Gateway
14 Assimilator
16 Pylon
18 Cybernetics Core
19 2nd Assimilator

Remember to put 3 Probes into your Assimilator when it is done. When Cybernetics Core is done research the Warpgate technology. Build 3 more Gateways when you have enough minerals. Remember to constantly produce probes until you have 16-24 Probes on your minerals. You can also spend 1 to 2 Chrono Boost on your Warpgate research.

When your Warpgate is done, make your Gateways into Warpgates. From here on you can move out towards your opponent and build a Proxy Pylon outside your opponents base. Constantly warp in units from your Warpgates. With your army you may win the match right there.

If you fail on the push, do not hesitate to pull back and macro up like building an expo or you can build more army and push again.

Here is a video on 4 Warpgating. This strategy works very well against all other races.
