Sounds pretty solid, I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Do you just mass Dragoon or use Archon vs the Muta transition, or should Protoss just Protoss that as well? I think Protoss should be enough | ||

If you want a easy way to beat it fairly quickly then try this FE into DT Corsair... make 2-3 corsairs only Templar archives and 1 gateway simultaneously Make 2 DTs from both gateways Then do this while your DTs are building * Send your 4 zealots to attack followed by the DTs (the zealots will soften up the base so DT can do more damage) * Make 4 more gateways so you have 6 in total and then Leg speed and +1 Produce HT from 2 gateways, zealots from the rest and morph the HTs into Archons Then go and kill him with Zealot/Archon. If he is smart he won't move out with his Hydras. Don't forget to also take your third base now. If your attack fails just add up to 4 cannons at your naturual with storm and use units to defend third base, make robo and then start dragoon production when you have 12 melee units and 3-4 HT's. Also around this stage there is a very very high chance zerg will make a muta switch since you have little or no corsairs, add 2-3 cannons to your mineral lines if you see no lurkers, position archon and protect HT. | ||

And if the Zerg just mass units at your choke with overlord that you can't kill b/c of proper hydra timing you just lose. | ||

If 5 hatch hydra, by the time you are making DT's he is just starting to make hydras. If you mean 3 hatch hydra then you have to do a completely different strategy ofcourse lol. | ||

I have a question regarding PvP specifically on Match Point. I played it 3 times on ladder and got proxied 3 times with various results but overall i felt like it is the superior build (i mean 2 gates, not necessarily proxied) because the lack of ramp and the shape of the main/nat/3rd makes it reslly hard to play a 1gate-based build. But then agsin i m not very good so may be i m just panicking/screwing up. So the question is : do you think 2gates is the way to go on match point (and may be all maps without ramp?) or is there a safe way to go 1gate on it? How about a canon style FE (pvz like)? Thank you in advance! | ||

You could try standard 1 gate like this: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/hYgslW8.jpg) If you scout proxy gate, you can completely wall off: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/cBobYIO.jpg) You can do the same on the opposite side. | ||

I guarantee you that 40% of your tanks are lagging behind so you've sieged them near your base instead of the place of the battle - too lazy to siege your tanks in a spaced out fashion? stasis and zealot bombs will destroy you - decide to turtle off of 3 bases like flash? now the protoss has taken 60% of the map | ||

Thank you in advance! 2gate losts is standard on Blue Storm, it is palyable on Phyton, but is not ok on Match Point. Maybe you should scaut earlyer, so you can adapt. Post the replays for more | ||
