+ Show Spoiler + Notwithstanding the skill barrier, most of the problems seen in this game apply to lower ranks on the ladder. Z nats can be delayed, obstructed, and harassed, but as long as a hatch comes up there is practically no destroying it with 2 gate. Dan comments in the video that the 9/9 gate can transition into macro, and the Stork tut I mentioned shows how that can work on maps like Sylphid with a 10/12 gate variation. There might be a fast min-only strat that works too. You see Soulkey scouting for it in his second ling runby. It's pretty obvious there is no way to snag the second gas for corsair production and whatever other tech. Also referring to the commentary, gas steals, delaying second hatch with a pylon, and other shenanigans probably need to come off every, single, time. It's still more satisfying than cheese, which is predictable enough and usually gets crushed. If any other Protoss noobs with some Zerg mechanics want to hash this out with me I'll be on US West under Alkaeus today. | ||

Am I missing something? As a zerg this felt like a graveyard and I wanted to quit the game after playing zvp on it, are you guys saying there is a way to beat toss on this map? | ||

Why not go fe -> reaver corsair on that map, and secure the 2 'island' exps? Can't make it easier on low rank. It is a good map for the protoss. | ||

For the Korean Pros, ZvP supposedly favors Zerg by about 6% currently. | ||

Can't make it easier on low rank. It is a good map for the protoss. When micro and macro skills are close, the strategy matters  I like the reaver corsair idea with the islands, speedshuttles can get fast to each side of the map. | ||

I haven't played a game on Hitchhiker where throwing zealots at every problem didn't either win or cost me the game | ||
