Ryan you're best bet is to start off with an 7/8 pylon gate and zealot harass drones to keep his zerglings occupied in his base,run around and try to take as little shots as possible from zerglings while picking off drones. Thats the easy part,now while your doing this,keep building probes and teching as you can afford it,try to keep constant zealot from that 1 gate and harass wherever you can.The most important thing to do is keep an eye on his eggs,i know it sounds strange but you really have to pay attention to his zergling count,if he knows you're 1 gate and continues building zerglings,make a forge and a battery asap,and get ready to hold onto your ramp for dear life. Even if he doesn't know you're 1 gate,you still have to be very mindful to zerglings,as they are the most lethal unit to any protoss player. So eventually you'll lose your zealots,picked off a few drones,now by the time you lose your zealots you should have a cybernetics core done or almost done,get sair first,depending on your zealot count(3-4 is a good number) you can build a dragoon + stargate,if you have 2-3 zealots then skip the dragoon,because as i said,zerglings are your worst enemy. With your corsair,go straight to his base and check his hatcheries to know his strategy,then pick off overlords accordingly.Later you can go back and get the ones around your base/cliff.Meanwhile of course teching to dt's. From there its up to you ace,but its a solid start build i've used with success many times against good zergs. There is another more skilled build order to this smuft taught me,but its kind of insane,just try this for now ;p | ||

Smuft's build he showed me was something like, 7 pylon->8 gate->zealot->gas->zealot->cybernetics core->2nd pylon run zealots around as much as you can and don't die to mass lings,and you're in a fine position for a reaver drop ;p Not dying to lings is the thing.since if he decides to 3 hatch ling then you're basically dead,but if he makes drones then he's basically dead. | ||
