Thanks for the input. Remember, this is NOT strictly theory-craft: these builds may suck, but they just need to be the best way to achieve whatever their goal is. Whether sair+DT is sound or not, it is a valid strategy that must be mentioned. Thanks, ahk-gosu. Thanks pheered.user for the cannon rush, too.

The only good corsair tech build is this:

pylon at 5, one probe (or not, i don't know at all) then a gateway (may be at 6 or 5, i haven't played in a long time).

Just pump probes and build 3 zealots, you want to be showing them to the zerg (don't lose them just to kill a drone, and don't expect to kill them with these). As your 3rd zealot is building get an assim and play it normal like a corsair tech build. But rather than doing temp expo or something like that use DT. Your sair comes out earlier, the zerg is more timid (3 zealots early look like 9/10) and DT can actually do damage rather than 10 gate corsair tech.

Thanks. Yes, I would love to have the strongest replay of this strategy that you have. I hope to put them up along with the final product as references to this strategy.

Good Zerg player can destroy the Sair+DT rush relatively easily with 4-6 hatches poping out 1-2/1-2 Hydras and lings.


What build order are you referring to? You mention the Sair+DT, but your advice is clearly a different strategy. Could you give me a full build order from pylon 1? Thanks

You sound like a man of impressive skills I'm curious; what is your win-loss record with this, and against what competition?

I was referring to a simply, regular 1-gate tech build. However, like your said, it's just a collection of BOs, so I have nothing against anything.

i have no idea, i don't recall losing with it, but i can think of a player who i have a bitch of a time beating, and if i did try this against him, theres a good chance i've probably lost with it against him.

just because it starts with 5 pylon doesn't mean you end up with a crappy economy or that its ridiculously fast. it's on pace with an 8 gate for the first zealot, then the other two come like a 9/10. the sair comes significantly earlier though. just try the strategy out, you don't end up behind on probes because you are building probes the entire time you are training the 3 zealots. just don't get the assim too early or you WILL find yourself short.

no, i won't host replays of me playing this or any other games unless i get hit by some other act of god

Just updated the Core Builds with an excellent, solid BO shown by fOru in a famous game against Yellow in the KPGA 2002, on River of Flames. The BO is in the original post here, details on the game are here.

Try some of Zeus' VODs/Replays. If I recall correctly, he almost always do Sair+DT.

Oh btw Shadow, you are doing a fantastic job. I might even convert back to Protoss ^_^

the only thing impressive is that he really thinks hes going to win ANY games vs remotely competant players with that BO.
