EPTOn the other hand if he wasnt so sair heavy (no reavers, basically standard play), an early +1 air carapace can work real wonders, ive made a fpvod on that style. But if he "answers" really soon (basically before he can scout your tech fully) with 2 stargates it really becomes uncomfortable for you and you have to switch to hydras despite having the +1 carapace. He can still get zeals besides the corsairs; you cant get any kind of shit at all besides the muta scourge, unless you just make it a single round of muta scourge and thats gonna lose the air control.

Once he reaches that point the protoss is almost impossible to stop. the best way to deal with it is to prevent it from even happening in the first place with scourge in the beginning of the game. also, if the protoss is turtling just outexpand and overrun him through a war of attrition. the power of the sair/reaver lies in the mobility of this whole combination and the effectiveness of taking expos (hatches) out. | ||

Bisu/movie sair/reaver is a light sair reaver varaint into fast dt/temp for dt drop or storm drop. You only get like 2 reavers max and 1 in your shutle for initial harras and then also use shutle to harras with templar tech while massing zeals from 5 gates and so on. | ||

vs. sair/reaver in general, mass expo, use hydras/scourge to defend your bases and try to snipe shuttles/keep the toss from keeping his 3rd base. Sair/reaver is very gas-intensive, and if you can keep the protoss on 2 bases then their sair/reaver will be greatly limited. They'll either have to skimp on reavers (the meat of the strategy) or make fewer sairs (easier to defend your bases). Also, you might want to consider researching burrow, as it's a good response if he gets reavers into one of your mining expos, and you can also hide small groups of hydras at your bases, and unburrow them to perhaps get a surprise shuttle/corsair kill. | ||
