but recently playing some pvz at D level, 3/4 of the games involve 2 base cheese... 2 hat muta, ling all in, almost no one does anything remotely similar to the standard. so yea, is this pretty normal or am I just unlucky in playing all the cheese zergs.  | ||

you can't expect all zergs to go 3 hatch builds. | ||

No, because 2 hatch mutas, makes you react by slowing down your teach to get proper defence. Also muta micro is very strong nowadays, so it's possible to open with 2 hatch muta and make it in the long game without killing the protoss on the spot or dying after he sets proper defences. | ||

Anything involving <= 3 hatches is very cheese. They offer no transitions, in many cases delayed tech, inferior economy, and if they don't do any damage, it's gg. Afaik that's the definition of cheese. In any case OP, if they get ling speed you immediately know something is up, so throw down a third cannon. Before your scouting probe dies send another one out to some random spot on the map. When his lings come and do their contain thing to not let a scout out, run your hidden probe into his base. If you get in, you see their tech. React appropriately and win. | ||

Hell, is any circumstance where make an action and lose a lot of units cheese? After all, it puts you behind right? No need to call others idiots if you have no idea what you are talking about. You don't know the difference between an all-in cheese attack and a regular battle? It's considered cheese if your entire strategy and game depend on one single tactic or attack. You sacrifice economy for it and you can't catch up if it fails. If you engage after playing regularly, then the result doesn't determine if it's cheese. Seriously? You don't know what you are talking about. | ||

I dont know what you consider standard, but given the game situations 2 hatcheries for a zerg player sounds pretty standard to me. Of course, assuming you are doing an FE, I guess you could say 3 hatchery builds will be the ones that will best face your strategy and decide the game slowly through skirmishes advantages. I do agree 2 hatch zergling all in, 2 hatch hydralisks, or even 3 hatch hydralisks as a response to your FE may be kind of lame. I think 2 hatch mutas is a timing based attack as the mutas will arrive at your base before the corsairs are out. In any case, zerg can make a lot of drones before the spire is ready and take his third hatch while the mutas are building. I dont see it as an all in. Same may go for 3 hatch hydras, depending on the number they make. It will force you to delay your gateways in favor of cannoning your natural, since you wont have archives when the hydras arrive. But consider the fact that Zerg is naturally a "cheesy" race due to their larva system, their tech switching paired with larva accumulation makes this flexibility one of its main strength, and a very viable option to win the game. As a Protoss player myself, I would recommend choosing a motw when they come out and learn the best possible way to FE in each position. A strong wall that enables you to seal the passageway with 1-3 probes, gives enough room to align cannons vs hydra rushes, and still protect your nat vs air strikes should discourage any Zerg on attempting these kind of builds. You will actually be thankful when they try it, because they will have the short end of the stick. Most likely they will fail against your adaptation, leaving you on top. Good scouting is the next key issue. Keep your scouting probe alive, if it dies, send another probe to hide in the map for later scouting, make a corsair if it all fails. Gather info on whatever you can to judge their mindset: Drones count, early gas, larva count, number of expos, etc. There is not a whole lot of cheese a Zerg can do besides the ones you have mentioned. I played purely PvZ from D to a bit over D+ with 11-0 and I dont think I was cheesed even once. | ||
