I can play all races but with my TvP, im really having trouble with my Protoss opponent producing only zealots.We dont use air units (our agreement on every game).My question would be... How do i counter this all zealot attacks.What land units best counters zealot attacks?Good number of goolies and vults and tanks? Truthfully man, don't listen to a lot of these people. If you don't wall and don't scout the two gate, it's "VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE" to hold at the highest levels. The usual timing of the 2 gateway zealot will hit around the time your getting out your second marine and have just started your factory (assuming it's at 15/18) The first center pylon should start building around 1:15. 1 Zealot is capable of taking out 3 Marine but you will have 2 Zealot at your base and your factory won't be near completion for you to have vulture, let alone mines to deal with it. I've countered it without blocking before by immediately producing a second barrack instead of a factory, building an academy and keeping my marine inside my mineral line until I had enough M&M to push out. But, even that wasn't very effective because the protoss can easily switch to storm or expand and make photon cannon to defend it whilst getting ahead in economy. There are three options you could take: 1. Blocking (Walling off) 2. Putting a few SCV on the ramp and lifting your barrack over them after the first Marine is produced (if the attack doesn't hit before then). However, this requires a lot of skill to do given the amount of time you have to do it... 3. Scout it and react accordingly But, if you don't scout it and you don't wall, your pretty much screwed.

You have time to have 2 facts, 6 vulture and mines by the time he attacks you. If you lay mine in front of your base you don't even have to patrol micro him to death since he suicides his whole zealot army in your mines. | ||

Maybe his friend is slower that the comp xd. | ||

Seriously, I thought blocking entrance is standard for siege expand? Also, I think going tank mode and have scv blocking entrance was better response. | ||

He could have just walled the ramp with SCVs, and had all his units behind it meaning he would have to target fire every SCV. Even better, float a building over the top and zealots just herp derp till they die. | ||

build firebats, medics, and marines instead, in ratio of possibly 2:1:1, that should literally roast any zealot army... | ||
