Just cheese your opponents. Easy. 9/10 gate, 10/15, 9 pool speed, 4 pool, bbs, 2 fac, any cheese should work.

How can you call 10/15gate and 2fact cheese? Those are definitely not cheese. Besides, 2fact from a low level player is so easy to stop.

Not at D.
Protoss is half as hard as terran or zerg at lower levels.

5pool ZvT or ZvP on andromeda is great. Scout with first overlord and a drone when pool is building.

Protoss is the easiest to get out of D. After that, they become much harder IMO.

The hardest part of Protoss is creating and maintaining the proper unit composition needed to fight competently, especially in PvZ. If your composition is broken it's really hard to create it again, not to mention it being hard to.

5 pool might be ok for 4 player maps but I wouldn't suggest it on 2 player maps since it should be scouted in time.

Play ZvP and go 9 pool speedling. Then choose either 1) 2 hat muta, 2) 2 hatch hydra range rush, 3) 3 hat mass ling rush.

Note: The key is to kill their scouting probe and then prevent any further scouting so they have no clue what is going on.

Announcing your plans to tl is probably going to make this a bit more difficult.

Good thinking. Note to self; never make plans and post them on TL when drunk.

How far up in the ranks can you get with speedling runby's in ZvP? I've won most games I've played with that strategy on D level, but how does it fare against decent opponents?


Probably like C+ at least if you disguise it well enough and deny scouting. Octzerg got to A- I believe and speedling runbys are one of his signature moves.

Proxy-in-base hatchery on Destination. Unless it's zvz then just 5 pool and build two sunks in their base.

Seriously, just do this, send out a starting drone and 9 hatch in his main, I never lost a game with it unless my drone got there too late. So your priority is send out closest drone to your ramp, rally it to guy's base, then send remaining three drones to minerals, build first drone and then send ovi towards his base.

When you get to his ramp make sure you skirt around the edges straight away so no FE probe or walling scv spots you. Then get to 9/9, wait for 300minerals and there is a nice nook for a hatchery at the bottom of their base (if they are 12) or at the top of their base (if they are 6).

After the 9 hatch go pool -> ovi and depending on how things happen get 1-2 sunks in your own mineral line. If you start your pool with your first 200 minerals after you made your hatchery, they finish at the exact same time, which is critical.

I usually get both sunks if I see him send all his lots/workers to try and counter my main. But if the opponent manages to hold it off/is confined to their nat, you get a RIDICULOUS ADVANTAGE and just steamroll him easy. You can expand to his ex-main :D
