Anyway, get lair+speed as soon as you see the OLs. Get lurks. Expo to your 2nd nat. Hydra/Lurk it up and get drop ASAP. Drop his main. Then 2 lurk drop his ledge. One of the resons why I think you should drop is because he will not have alot of mobile units. Instead he will get all his tech off of cannons, a few lots, the DT, and maybe 1 goon. As soon as his tech is done hell throw down 6 more gates and start pumping. If you can drop before the pumping really gets under way you will really really slow him down. If your drop works, ie you get alot of probes or gates in his main, expo again, or even twice. REmember to space out your lurks and obs hunt in his base. Good idea to target the robo and cyb core also. Then just get some scourge to be anti harass, and slow his push out and get massive amounts of lings and then ultras mixed with the few lurks you have left and the the few hydras. Thats pretty simplified. Basically I think you should try to drop a 1 gate toss. Since he will ahve cannons+storm and that is not the most mobile. Don't try to break it like rugbug said. He is simply wrong. | ||

Obviously, If that strategy works well for you then you must not be played GOOD protosses. How can you really say that just attacking with hydras will win every time... Its true it may win, but you must have either slowed expo, or hurt the toss in some way previously. Or he just sucks. | ||

I then get gas off 1 lot with none building or if the scouting drone leaves immeadiately then I get gas with NO lots. That two gate just totally payed for itself as the Z plumps down two sunkens and gets 10 lings. Also, two gates gives you more flexibility. If a Z sees one gate, just like 1 fact in pvt, then the zerg/toss respecitvely have many many more viable options. 2 gate increases yours, and decreases theirs. It forces them to play safer. Sometimes, 2 gate can be bad, but thats map dependant or extremely situational depending on the Z BO. | ||

You dont get your first two lots until the lings would be RIGHT at your ramp. You just delay the getting of them until after your core any pylon. Go try some timing wtih this and youll see what I mean. | ||

I still seriously doubt it works since I play the Z side and if I see no zealots, I almost always assume I win because there's no pressure whatsoever and I can just pump drones. | ||

I meant as a standard bo (like doing just straightup 2 gate into sair is pretty bad most of the time). Btw most good zergs wouldn't leave your main and would most certainly not get both 2 sunkens and 10 lings I think o_O | ||
