positional + map dependant, be more specific


Okay.. we'll say 3v9 on LT, or any other distant starting spots on any other map


If the spots are far enough (that's not bad) go 12 or 14 Nexus, then Forge, then a couple cannons.

trey. are u just asking for basic pvz builds?
i think it is universal that 2 gate zeal then pylon is the most suitable. on non ramp maps u might want a earlish forge (old school tossers used to like 1 gate forge, i still use it in team games!) and after u put up that pylon use some intuition. if u think ull need more zeals (hes goin 4 ling mania) then make more, otherwise put up a assimilator at 21 or so supply and start harvesting, putting cyber up asap.
A firebat to your Zergling.

12 v 3 - Don't do it, Zerg will realize what's going on too quickly and go for a lot of units.
12 v 9 - Worth a shot, their Drone might get there a little quick though.
12 vs 6 - Very good spots to do this.

12 vs anything - Remember that the choke point at this spot makes for good early expo cannon placement.

3 vs 12 - Don't to it. Zerg's Overlord will see and many many units will come.
3 vs 9 - Good spots.
3 vs 6 - Zerg's scouting Drone will get to you quickly, but these aren't totally terrible spots.

6 vs 12 - Great spots.
6 vs 3 - Pretty good.
6 vs 9 - Their Overlord might see but there is distance between spots to compensate.

9 vs 12 - Zerg's Drone may or may not get there early. Decent spots to try it.
9 vs 3 - Scouts won't reach here for a while, far away, good to try it.
9 vs 6 - Overlord will probably see, but there is distance between the bases to compensate.

9 vs anything - 9 is so good for defending, remember that.

There you go.

as a conclusion 9 and 6 are almost always good spots to this and at 12 or 3 i'd scout 9 from 12 and 6 from 3 then if he isn't there and no ovi cancel ur gate(s) and xp if ovi has come or he is there then don't xp...

I have a friend who has noticed that there seems to be a shortage (or utter lack?) of RWAs made by top players. So far I've seen Elky and Ret do some, but neither have done any P matchups.

I'm curious if either of our resident Protoss experts (Legion? Rek?) would be kind enough to offer their bountiful wisdom and valuable time to make a few since PvZ and PvT seem to be popular matchups for discussion.

Maybe someone who knows TvP or ZvP really well could do a RWA while making some comments from the perspective of someone who's facing P as either T or Z (PvP is lame and not worth RWAing in my opinion )

LOL: im having trouble with this PvZ strat the strat the person does requires no lurkers anyways, this is how it goes he hatch's at main then builds up to about 1 set of lings then expoes and gets more lings with speed to about 2-3 sets and somehow he still has a good economy (watched replay) and he usually expoes again or gets a den and pumps dras and and contains me and somehow gets map,

this is my build order vs it i 9/10 gate and etc and expo around 8 minutes with speed lots and a couple of temps what should i do ? HLEP ME!@#@!#!@#
i be that pretty motherfucker
