Overlords will be slow, so unless they have some hovering at your natural, you can keep them at bay with DT. | ||

Zerg goes very fast hydra (with first 50 gas den) and corsair can't kill any overlord, because of very early hydra. Then zerg makes nonstop hydra, and it is almost impossible to exit from you main... Replays and advices are recommended. you'll want to try to spot it early. the zerg can do this but it's a big investment for him. if you can see it coming, then forget about your corsair/dt. put cannons on your ramp if you have to, and get about 3 gates in your main and storm ASAP. if he has a lot of units, you may have to get 4 or even 5 gateways in your main. make zealots and high templar to kill his hydra and ling. you should be able to get out of your base | ||

If he goes "slower" 3 hatch hydra, you may lose your probe to good ling micro before you see the den. "slower" generally means your sair will be in his base at around the time his hydra den finishes. In this case, his first hydras will be out slower, but he'll be able to get a lot faster. If he does this, I'd recommend still going for the expansion. Usually in this situation, you should make any attempts to stop his slow overlords from getting to your natural, so your dt can be somewhat effective. While you're doing this, you need to cut probes, pump high templars, and throw down 3-5 cannons (depending on your storm timing vs. his hydra timing) BEFORE you put your nexus down. If you time it right, you shuld have enough defense when his big waves of hydras try to kill your natural. | ||

Seems like you would be able to scout this, cancel stargate, and switch into zeals with legs and temps if he is somehow massing up with 3 hatch hydra and a decent number of drones. | ||
