...Contrary to popular belief, Zerg IS actually capable of making stuff and attacking in the first 10 minutes of a game.

If it's 6 minutes into the game and the only unit you have is a zealot at your wall, I might be tempted to spend my larvae on zerglings and attack you. Believe it or not, 1 zealot does not kill 20 zerglings. I know you're trying to rush to Void Rays or Dark Templar, but it just might be worth it to invest in a Sentry or, at least, 2 zealots.

Also, believe it or not, I don't care that you're raging at me after the game for being "a no skill zerg." I don't mind winning off of 2base because you decided you didn't need to make units.


Protoss, don't forget that Zerg has combat units too <3

Well, usually people make posts on forums to convey some sort of message or otherwise communicate an idea. It might be that.

I'm saying that Protoss players need to be less cocky with that zealot.

Somebody doesn't understand the thread? The entire point was the numerous Protoss players that only wall off with a zealot. In fact, I even said "invest in a sentry."

Sometimes I wonder if people even read the OP.

I'm just saying I like to forge FE... but I'm sorry I only have 1 zlot for my wall-in with cannons for 6 minutes while having my warpgates stargate robo bay and templar tech all building at the same time

Those lings are killers man x.x

lol but seriously, yeah it makes me laugh when a toss has like 1 zlot 1 sentry and 1 stalker sitting on his ramp, 3 roaches can pretty much end the game forget lings! lol

We always just expect that you aren't going to attack because what if we have 3 gateways back there

Posts like this always make me LOL. Just last night I was watching a stream where a 3200 masters Protoss lost a 1 gate/forge FE to an inbase proxy hatch with roaches on ladder.

I'll bet you yourself have lost multiple times to all kinds of shenanigans. I see Toss go 1 gate FE blindly on 4 player maps vs zerg all the time. Before scouting. In money tournaments.

The only reason people get away with that crap is because of you people that whine and cry when someone rushes/"cheeses" to exploit your stupid, greedy play.

Crap it was probably me LOL. I've seen this stuff become very prevalent as of late on the ladder (~Low Master for me). I've noticed my complacency early on as toss thinking I am safe with a zealot and stalker with a sentry on the way and let my guard down. In the last EU TSL Quals, Adelscott was knocked out when slings destroyed his gateway and got into the base
