Seriously, I think people who used to do this build before were either not getting the stargate and adding 4 gateway quicker + no second gas as early. Bisu pretty much powered from 2 gates with sairs. I think this build is very nice. It will provide a good protection vs 3 hatch mutas, and will also allow p to get aggressive early on forcing zerg to make lings and stuff. | ||

Regardless if this is a new build or the same old speed zealot with +1 attack, we should baptize it "Bisu Build" Seriously, I think people who used to do this build before were either not getting the stargate and adding 4 gateway quicker + no second gas as early. Bisu pretty much powered from 2 gates with sairs. I think this build is very nice. It will provide a good protection vs 3 hatch mutas, and will also allow p to get aggressive early on forcing zerg to make lings and stuff. Yeah. Ive been getting the feeling that everytime i watch a match, Toss just dosent put oout enough early aggression and lets the Z get away with their expand and BO with perfect timing. This new build, like you said or even if it is one, allows the Toss to defend against Muta and attack in the window before lurks arrive. Its nice to force the Z to adjust their timings and force them to a low drone count rather then play passively like many of the tosses do nowadays and let the Z feel very safe with their macro which is not something you want them to do. | ||

If initial attack is defended properly by 1more sunken and/or another set of lings at his nat, you've just started tech grade to storm/archon. This would be a good map control strategy vs zerg from taking a 3rd gas/min. I just don't think it's an end all be all kind of strategy. Z would have to use larva on lings/drones on sunks earlier to defend this better therefore you hurt their economy even if they see this. im not sure how it would turn out as opposed a blocked regular +1 speed zeal attack. | ||

Before I get into the later +1 attack zealot timing, I want to talk about what I think the corsairs did in the game. In standard play, P usually gets 1 sair now due to the scourges that are a huge threat to the sairs. Thus, most Ps skip making more sairs and just use one for scouting. Bisu got more sairs this game, indicating that sair threat is growing. This will force JD to make more scourge to deal with the increasing corsair number. Scourge are gas-intensive. Because Z is on one gas for most part of the early game that's used for tech and ups, he can't afford to expend too much gas while he's on one gas. With less gas, he's now forced to make hydras instead of mutas because he won't have enough gas for making enough mutas of critical mass. Hence, muta switch is delayed significantly. This then allows P to get an archon later instead of having 2 with the zealots to push. This is the key because now instead of making templars, P can make a larger zealot count faster, making the push that much faster and stronger. Even when Z does switch to muta, cannons would have been made in the bases and archons would already have been done. Note that Bisu gets the archon in his second cycle of unit production. This all leads to why the zealot attack timing is now much faster. The attack is done right before the switch to hydra pumping can be done; the timing when his hydra army is small. Because the army is now small, he can delay +1 slightly to make his push faster. Note how Bisu deals with the muta switch as his archons are made in his second and third cycle of units. | ||

Bisu rush, goes back and makes jaedong waste money on zerglings, and lots of terran would push out with naked marines, make zerg waste money on sunk/lings only not to attack, but attack later with medic to break while zerg is trying to mend his economical damage. poor zerg :/ | ||

I know the first sair has enough time after scouting 3 hatch muta to go and kill a single overlord (typically) before running off back to the base. That or my timings are just off as a Zerg  . | ||

But i see it going back and forth between normal play and just doing +1 timing attacks. | ||

Plus most zergs are pretty used to early zealot pressure at this point and are therefor very able in building safe sim cities that will insta rape any number of zealots. like jaedong... i honestly think its a good idea as long as the P doesnt compromise himself in any way for it to be backfired. even if the Z defends it, he wastes larva sooner on fighting units than drones. at what expense of the P? virtually none or none at all. | ||
