How can I still try to win in this scenario? I try to hide an expo and try to catch up to his macro but with not very conclusive results... | ||

if u see it coming threaten a backstab with your first 6 lings, it delays the 2gate from moving out and forces the P to leave some zealots behind get up ur nat ASAP and keep up ling production until your nat finishes, then put down a sunken or two if necessary | ||

Definitely not. Rather an advantage. Maybe a 9 before ovi is a bit harder on eco and 9pool speed can be hard if your opponent decides to defend instead of moving out. Else, it's probably the best thing to play. Think about other possibilities, they aren't any better. | ||

Using the 10-12 gate, I found that zergs who went 12 hatch posed the most trouble. I would try to prevent this with my probe scout, but if I was too late, then the creep would be up and sunkens made in time. I never really palyed around much with probe pulls, so maybe 2-3 probes could have tipped the balance there with good micro. Against really early pools I feel protoss has every advantage. Your 1 hatch really can't keep up with the 2 gate production, and you wont have creep to set up static defenses. Protoss can zealot block you ramp if you don't take your nat, and then toss can do whatever he wants while you are stuck on 1 base and forced to tech. Ideally, you want to use the fact that zerglings, even unupgraded, are faster than zealots. Try to have a few out on the map threatening to counter, so protoss has to leave zealots back. Also, try to pick off straggling zealots as zerglings do well against zealots in small numbers but don't scale well. In larger numbers surrounds are harder, and zealot micro is easier. An oldschool build people did when 2 gating was more common is 9 hatch in the main. This opening is inefficient in many ways, but it gives you the production off 1 base to overwhelm 2 gate while not extending your defenses at all. | ||

If close positions with you at 9 and him at 7 you can always try 2 base pushing through the island and setting up your third there. Drop play seems to be pretty good overall in my experience due to large mains + walking distance. | ||
