http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=17316 Oki, so this is how you do this build: 1. Mass Zealots from 2 Gates. 2. If the Zerg attacks, defend with Zealots. 3. Attack while bringing you probes along to steal his minerals. 4. Transition into the late-game. 5. Win As you can see he became really poor after my raid (or maybe it was the 10 misplaced Sunkens) and was unable to summon an army sufficient to withstand my 1a2a3a.    | ||

yes, i've heard of this as well. you also can't gas steal them and then send workers to long distance gas mine from your gas steal (assuming he's kind enough to not kill it). i mean, if they run out of gas, then the game's no fun anymore is it? | ||

No, this guide is 100% the best strategy to ever use in a game. It's a guaranteed win, especially in the early game, and if you somehow don't secure the win, you should look to the guide on Observers vs Scouts, to see what your best scouting options are (hint: It's the Scout). | ||

To be fair... he is playing Garm Brood in its weakest matchup. It's the tricky brood, but its macro was always suspect. Tiamat or Jormangund is best at ZvP. | ||

(But NOT supply depots... wtf terran imba.) But on maps like python with a short air distance, shuttle w/speed will greatly reduce your probes' traveling time. (And you can cycle damaged probes in/out in case of harass!) The multitasking is a bitch, though... does anyone have a shuttle/worker practice map? | ||

Yeah, experienced players will know what to do straight away.. this is the problem with higher level play. Well, logic suggests that adding more nexuses and massing workers - so that you can mine his minerals faster than he can mine yours - should do the trick.. though I guess manner pylons in your own mineral line might work as well, as suggested by Duke. Maybe the two combined is the answer? | ||

![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/ikonyte/SCScrnShot_021509_222425_thumb.jpg) Take the mins, take the gas, much less mining distance so about 300% more effective than your superstrat. | ||
