Halt corsair production after you make 1, Sit it at his natural or main and see what pops out of his eggs. Lately I have had success going 9 gate and then making a cyber core at my nat to wall in. I make the forge in my main, saw Bisu do this too. That way he cant snipe your +1 upgrade which is what a lot of the strength comes from in this build From there, its on the Protoss to do heavy 2 base aggression. Zerg is going for a fourth expo but this expo will be useless if he cant drone it up. So its about applying pressure to prevent that while taking your own bases. Lots of different ways to do this, we saw on Bisutube that reavers worked really well. On another VOD, he skipped stargate completely and just went for a baboon style build off 1 gas, instant citadel for zealot legs. Or you can just pressure once you get storm. Only way for Z to defend against any of this pressure is to get simcity or lurkers or both. From there its just a standard game. | ||

Queens , Dark archon, guardians and many more ! Also, a nice counter to 973-4 build , where you skip stargate and go for citadel and 3 gates, placed in your nat | ||

Also, a nice counter to 973-4 build , where you skip stargate and go for citadel and 3 gates, placed in your nat 3 extra gates for a total of four right, if I saw correctly? I haven't been following very carefully, but it seems like Larva started droning pretty early since the forge didn't even die? Or were his gates just that early | ||

At the pro level, there are a number of options Protoss and mapmakers have to keep it balanced. If the fakeouts prove to lead to a zerg advantage (as I don't think the build itself breaks Protoss, but having it as an option among other builds merely strengthens Zerg overall due to information hiding), Protoss could always turn it into a rock-paper-scissors at worst, but can always rely on the mapmakers to do things that slightly increase Protoss win %, like for instance giving 10 mineral patches instead of 9, creating semi-island maps, giving Protoss an expansion behind their main so they can protect a ramp to early expand, or giving multiple secret entrances to bases via worker tricks. Things like this make Starcraft more fun, and even if it makes playing my own race harder I welcome all new discoveries with open arms. | ||

I would prefer to call it 973 instead as thats all that is required to produce said hydras. 973 is the hydra "all-in", the 4 distinguishes going into the 4th behind the threat of a "real" 973. | ||
