I don't understand why Korean players don't do +0 speed zealots rushes à la Kwark. It hits 30 seconds earlier before the zerg can sim city properly. Of course this build can't become standard as it would be easily countered by mass zerglings, but it's still a good build to mix in once in a while.

Thanks for the translation it was an interesting article !

Thanks for translating, hopefully Bisu will be able to get somewhere in individual leagues though I haven't seen many of his games since last season, I hope his awful PvT has improved.

Bisu's PvT was never awful. It was just never nearly as good as his other two matchups. His vT ELO peak is #12 all-time, while his vZ peak is #8 all-time (behind Jaedong and 6 terrans).

PvT #3, PvP #1, PvZ #1 by the way.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

Thanks for the analysis, I havn't been able to watch too much proleague lately, and I really didn't know too much about the new pvz style. I guess what bisu is doing is right, zealots are very good against hydras if in an open field. However, I do have some doubts, because zealots cannot go through a good sim city, and they basically allow zerg to get to three bases while the toss wasted a lot on zealots. But I guess the main point is to attack before the sim city gets there.

if you read the article, it says that zealots should be used wisely i.e. dont throw them away if the simcity is proper. That's pretty much the biggest mistake most protosses other than Bisu make in using this build, they see 2 sunkens and decide to attack anyways, without doing any real damage other than killing the sunkens maybe. Bisu plays smartly and only attacks when he knows he can do damage


Exactly, single largest mistake all protoss players make. I've been saying for ages that the +1 speedlot timing attacks don't work in the traditional way because of the zerg simcity has been perfected to block it so why do they STILL bother committing to it? Basically every terran or every zerg knows when he can or when he can't break bases and adjusts his position accordingly so its confusing to see protoss players struggle to understand this and send masses of zealots to kill a few zerglings and some base defense game after game.

To be honest, all of this feels like an adaption of strategies used in different matchups played by different races. The most revolutionary part is the dragoon usage, or lack of, which allows protoss to skip the one unit that is basically made obsolete by hive tech units and use that gas on templar tech/corsairs. But there is some serious deja vu in reading "The keys to this strategy" especially.

Slump. I have no idea why he's so bad though, he was mediocre-decent last season's end. Probably just started bad.

To be fair, I think it's the combination of speedlots and Corsairs, since speedlots alone are stopped quickly by the mutalisks. Although I do remember one PvZ where the P used some nice multitask to send zealot waves to two of the zerg's bases simultaneously... don't remember who it was though. That's another way to render mutalisks much less effective, since half a control group of mutalisks doen't stop zealots before they do some serious damage.

the players are too good (at defending), so the cheesing side is always at a disadvantage. If I was a pro I would be hard pressed to do this build, I can just see my +0 zealots melting.

Well Bisu had a few early timing windows with like 6 zealots that I remember. But +0 lots are so weak unless the zerg skimps hard.

I'm pretty sure 三炮 just made it up at one point (during the season Movie placed 2nd after losing to Flash)

love the analysis, and how they were spot-on about zealots being the key here. bisu's pvz have been really heavily dependent on zealot/sair and not smashing them brute-force style into a billion sunkens.

excellent read, thanks for translating!

I've seen some players do it, but as you noted yourself, it's too flimsy to be used as a standard playstyle. If you can hit before the Zerg can defend properly then certainly it's useful, but it doesn't transition into midgame well with the severely delayed +1...

If I recall, the first time I saw it used was Bisu vs Jaedong in the Allstars game, where Bisu destroyed Jaedong because he wasn't prepared. It became popular for like a month or so, until Kal attempted it vs Jaedong and got utterly crushed.
