[edit] Overview
HuK used this build first against Pinder, then against Drewbie in the finals of the Gosucoaching weekly tournament. Huk used it against SeleCT at MLG D.C.,but didn't turn out well. During the group stages of DreamHack SteelSeries LAN-tournament, at DreamHack Winter 2010, he once again employed this technique against Tarson and won the game.
[edit] Goal
Complete and utter surprise of the opponent during a huge, detection-necessary, micro-heavy rush.

[edit] Notes
Because detection and anti-air makes the Mothership weaker, you probably want to hide your Stargate and definitely the Fleet Beacon (which broadcasts your intent).
[edit] Scouting
This build gets better the later your opponent has detection and AA, but is very weak to a rush.
