Starcraft 2: How to stop 4 Gateway Rush! Terran, Zerg, Protoss

This is called " The Korean 4 Warpgate " Alot of people think it's just an all in strat, but it's really not it's pretty good in the mid game too...

First off you need to know how to spot it... the give aways are
10 (psi) Gateway
12 (psi) Gas
15 (psi) C-Core
The opponent is saving the chrono boosts.

How to stop it 4 Gate Rush!
( Protoss )
1.) Save your Chrono Boosts and use them wisely.
2.) DO NOT miss the pylon he lays down this is critical! Easy way to make this happen, is to make sure he never came in your base. and when he does. follow him... But watch the entrance still he might be sneaky and bring in another!
3.) Keep building units! if you can stop the rush you have a pretty fair advantage of macro, His money game is low. Yours should be normal

( Terran )
Heres a build for you.
10 Depot
12 Rax
13 Gas
15 OC
(Make marines from 1st rax continuously)
20 Rax
21 Rax
(Make marauders from 2nd/3rd rax continuously)

You can use this build against every single build. Move out and push when you feel like you got a decent sized army or feel comfortable but don't wait too long. Make sure to expand as your puting on pressure a lot of protosses will hold this off.

Only Thing you need to look for is DT/Voidray's if you can make sure you scout it then its pretty easy game.

after this build start going starports for medivacs and ghosts if you think he'll go DT's

( Zerg )
I think Zerg have the most problems with the 4 Gate rush
Because Protoss can do so many different things, scouting it is the most important... if you don't your dead.

Maps with short distances to base to base, Use spines to help you defend.

Maps with back doors don't overly invest in spines.

Maps with huge open area's around your base, Make sure you place spines well

Maps like Lost temple. you can make a lot of spines to defend this

Now for unit choice, I'd say go ling / roach with hydra's in later. if you can upgrade your lings. Make sure that the toss isn't going air afterwards! DO NOT GET MUTA'S!!!!!
