20 Food 1 Gate FE (As done by EG.Huk and explained in this thread by Alejandrisha)
The Build Order
9 Pylon (10 CB nex)
13 Gate (2nd CB once 1st finishes)
14 Gas (can be on 15*)
16 Pylon (HuK makes it on 15 but if you're human you can't always make it on 15 w/o brief probe cut , and it's not like you cap yourself making probes with 16pylon ^^)
17 Core, mine gas with discretion**; WG @100% CC, dump ALL CB on WG
20 Nexus (19 if you lose the probe)
22 Initial Stalker (NO CB)
22 or 23 gateway }\
22 or 23 gateway } \ If he's all inning you, feel free to cut this probe for now
24-26 (depending on how safe you feel, make 0-2 probes but always 2 stalkers between 20 and 26 food) queue second stalker from gateway, do not CB
XX pylon when you can afford it, proxied. You do not need this pylon in your base; putting it in your natural gives him a free pylon kill. This pylon gives you the ability to kill him immediately after he tries to all in you and it fails.
100% WG, warp in 3 stalkers and poke with all 4
*With mineral stacking, you can get the gas on 14 without having to cut probes. However, getting a 14 gas is not necessary for this build as you are not trying to optimize your gas intake; you are simply mining 50 and then resuming once you put the nexus down. It's good practice to get it down on 14 without queueing the 15th probe, though.
**If you instantly box 3 probes and send them to mine gas, you might not have 150 minerals the millisecond you are able to begin your core. You only need to hit a few benchmarks with gas: 50 for WG, 50 for first stalker, 150 gas when WG finishes. You can usually satisfy all these while maintaining strong mineral economy by initally putting 2 in gas and then adding the third after you begin your nexus
