EPTHonestly when i looked at it it seemed like a strong terran map, the only real issues i saw where getting across the bridges if your contained and the large main letting you get dropped. But i just checked the stats in TL and it was 60% imba for protoss so i just banned it. Not sure if thats just outdated or what.

Yes scouting with 1st corsair and probe is key... is he mining gas at his nat? Does he have a den? These things can be a tell but it is still tricky for me. A good Zerg can just make a den and not do anything with it to throw me off. Advice? | ||

A good Zerg can just make a den and not do anything with it to throw me off. Advice? It s a tricky question, but you should be poking with +1 speed zealots (assuming a neo bisu build from your post) around that time. It goes like this: 1st corsair scout: no lair : hydra bust, get a lot of canons. You see a lair, scourges chase you: not a 3h hydra. Get your +1 speedzeal 7:30 push with the sairs and push out to Z. If you see a ton of hydras, either delay by running around and threatening a backstab or take the fight if you feel you can kill a lot of hydras (usually taking the fight isnt great but you need to buy time for more canons and the storms/hts). Whatever you do if it s hydra do not freely lose corsair for an overlord, move them around, check larva production (drones? Hydras? Mutas? A shit ton of scourges?) Check for a 4th. Usually (but not always) muta play comes on the back of more zerglings early (so the z doesnt die to zealot pressure). Replays would help but if you die to very early (before the 8min mark) muta play, you should probably send yoir first one or 2 zealots towards z base to check/force lings. A common mistake (and i still make it too often) in pvz is to sit at home and play blind. Use your units, z wants to drone early on, so pressure him, just dont die to counter attacks ^^ Edit: if you scout a 973(4) hydra bust incoming with your corsair, stop corsair production, cancel +1 air if you re tight on gas and get storm asap + a lot of canons, add a forge in your main to keep making canons if he kills the one in your wall. Stop canons and resume sair production and add gateways when you see z remaking drones at his 3rd/4th (use your corsair just to check his production, dont attack anything unless you have a free overlord waiting) | ||

Has anyone experimented with patrol commands? Sometimes I play around with it and I'm like wow this is amazing and other times the carriers start targetting different things. Seems like there is the least room for error here however. Thoughts? Try minimap, too. | ||

I have tried patrolling my corsair fleet (if it survives) around the exterior of my main, but the problem is they dont kill overlords quite fast enough. I also am tried dedicating a portion of my army to just sit in my main, but then I lose the big fights because I am "down" in supply. I think to try cannon in main is good idea but at what cost? vs cracklings? i think not I tried recently putting a DA with maelstrom and 2 HT to snag the overlords but this is gimmicky. I need something more solid. | ||

Once you start building those defensive reavers, you should also get the shuttle speed upgrade (or earlier), it is crucial to be able to harass zerg expansions. | ||

Storm+cannons can defend expansions until dark swarm comes, after dark swarm comes, you need to have reavers there. Generally protoss players build a second robotics in their fourth base, sometimes third. That depends a bit upon the layout and the flow of the game. (If zerg is playing hydralisk only and not bothering getting a hive, you can stay on dragoon zealot templar much longer, for example. ) Once you start building those defensive reavers, you should also get the shuttle speed upgrade (or earlier), it is crucial to be able to harass zerg expansions. That is what I am tend to do, but what if I lose my corsair fleet (or never make a big one to begin with)? Do I remake it so shuttle do not get killed by patrol scourges? | ||

The gateway you choose has no bearing on who you get matched with, only your time of day/internet speed/geographic location (or more technically IP since you can use an IP changer). EDIT:: I guess also if you're playing unranked then obviously you will play mostly Korean players, pardon the assumption that you were playing ranked. | ||
