IMO If Protoss can scout zerg like zerg-toss.Zerg will be crushed very bad most of the games.If zerg goes for muta harass u can make Dark archon and Archon and gg.If zerg goes for lurker =>goons+range+obs-gg.The only chance for zerg will be mass hydras coz even with storm they are tough in good hands or expand with many sunkens but then toss will do the same coz u know when zerg will atack and with what kind of units:-))

interesting...i dont think it would be all that simple, but in my eyes, it would balance the matchup on the "good player" level. I really think that on the under pro gamer level this is highly imbalanced because of the strategy depth zerg has. Non pro toss cant stop the zerg drone whore, so zerg has a number of very viable strategies to choose from, and toss has to defend against each of these.

I dont think zerg would be owned, but i think it would balance the matchup at my level of playing. Higher levels, I doubt the toss players are guessing that much, their scouting ability is much better and they know what to expect and when to expect it.
if you guys could use google and post direct links to the maphacks here it would be greatly appreciated. - Nazgul

Yeah if protoss nexus would cost 300 and produce units, toss would crush all zergs ...

wouldnt producing archons+dark archons be a little timeconsuming+gas consuming for a protoss against muta?

Mutweli, building a hatchery costs 300 + a drone worth 50, that makes 350, and it provides 1 supply instead of 10 or 9

a hatchery is actually the most expensive of the main buildings (and rightfully so)

I am not really sure about that, I just watched few replays where toss player made Dark archon with maelstorm and when mutas arrive he catched them =>easy kills:-)
but one more time I am not sure if this is very effective

I also think that Protoss is the most unadaptable but the most powerfull race,I meas its verry difficult for toss to survive all terran and zerg harras but if he managed to do that or terran and zerg just leave protoss to develope equal with them toss will win most of the games
but this is just an opinion -maybe its not true

it's a nice way, but it's not good. the reason is because most zergs will see it coming with their scouting, and once they do, they just power and defend then proceed to outresource u

Protoss are the worst race late game. The higher level air units take too much time to come out and are too easy to see coming. A zerg player will overpower on the ground with ultras long b4 carriers can do much good and terran can over power on ground AND match in air power
it is a playful smile, like a cheerleader who likes male attention even tho shes actually a prude can-kniving bitch... - stimey

I agree with the overpowering on the ground thing...don't know about that air thing, though. I've never been "matched" in air power by a terran...and I suck wholly.
I have returned.

Just rush the zerg hard and he HAS TO do what you want him to do or he'll be dead. So no tech guessing or whatever. And a zerg without expansion is a dead zerg, no matter how gosu his tech is. Requires some skill btw... *g*

you have a strong point about the whole manipulation tactics of zeal rushing, but if u at all mess up the zeal rush..then he will beat you through tech (and thats all he needs to kill you, cuz u spent the majority of your time using low tech)

also, distances from each other determine whether or not zeal rushing is going to be more effective than going tech or expansion, which in a case of being far apart (for example: 6 v 12 pvz), zeal rushing would not be smart

M2, how long have you been playing starcraft?
