#1 can't be answered well, but I'll try. (Take this with a grain of salt, just writing what I've seen in pro games)

Make 3-4 sunkens at natural so he can't bust it, harass with mutas, counter if he sends his entire army to take out your 3rd. If he only sends a small group to your 3rd you can kill it with muta/ling. Overlords and lings should be in position to scout these things.

This probably isn't easy at unkorean levels, just hope the T isn't that great either.

Alternatively, If you expect 5 rax, you can 3 hatch lurker him.

There are a bunch of upgrades no one ever gets. Scout sight range upgrade as well as queen energy comes to mind first, but there are a bunch of others. However, I've learned the hard way that observer speed is actually a valuable upgrade. Which of the other upgrades are underrated (please don't answer scout sight range)?


I always get queen energy when getting queens. Queens are slightly more "proven" because of their usage in proleague, but I think scouts have their place as well. Obviously, though, scout speed is way, way more important than sight range.

Edit: The least viable upgrade is optical flare. Nobody uses that.

Another Edit: You know what's really good? Hallucination. We need to see more of that. Then Protosses wouldn't get their real arbiter emp'd.

I *knew* someone was going to post a fucking Boxer video. Fine. Show me a replay of anybody using an optical flare to win a game against someone above D-.

Got a really important question for Zerg players in ZvP.

When the zealot timing attack comes, what is the best thing to do with my drones? I know I should try to screw up the pathing of the zealots as much as possible, but how? Do I grab all my drones and right click the sunkens? Or do I just block the path as much as possible by hold positioning all my drones? Or do I do something else more fancy? Like right click a faraway mineral so my drones stack and then attack the zealots. Thanks guys!

Sorry I did not make it clear, but I am walling in ^^ (it would be stupid not to wall in vs Toss). My wall is good but I want to make it more effective through the use of drones.

then yeah, just ram drones towards the choke and try to prevent zealots from reaching your sunkens

No, the sight range of the Arbiter is not related to it's ability to cloak other units.

I would suggest actually letting a few lots in then using drone drill to main + stop/a-move once a few are in. Greater losses due to zealots glitching.

I think this could be answered by digging through some of the jaedong reps. I know for +1 5 rax that if you opened 3 hat muta, you are going to want to go up to 5 sunkens, amass a ton of lings, and try to crush the terran army before it takes out your third.
