can someone post a VOD where a protoss goes mass sair-reaver into mass corsairs/disruption web/carriers and the zerg wins? The only ones I know are of Bisu doing it and as far as I know he wins all of those.

Just cover the entire map with spore colonies, overlords are overrated anyway.

Just go with a standard 5 hatch hydra build. You can easily stop any reaver or sair play. Don't build a ton of spore or sunken colonies. Simply spread out 2 control groups of hydra around your main and nat. Then with the following, have them roaming around the map.

Realize that protoss has a lot of money invested into corsairs, and will not have a ground army to compliment. Simply wait until his reavers are out of position (ie attacking on of your bases) and have 2/3 control groups of hydra attack his nat.

It is a very hard build to play well imo- and i never have a problem with any type of mass corsair type of play. Just spread out your hydra wisely. Don't leave them all clumped togeather sitting in your nat. that is the biggest tip i can give you.

As cloud said, trying to match his air with yours is really a bad idea and i do not condone going mass +1 against his mass sair. Just stick with range and speed hydra. If P does not do substantial damage with his sairs you can simply out macro and crush him.

Really ignore everyone posts itt except for cloud, sixghost, kwark and wejjjj lol

those are the players with the most experience, and are the best players itt. i would take their advice to heart.

Devourers and plague are a must in the late game, especially since most Toss transition into carriers. You can use muta stacking technique to snipe carriers and shit with your pile of devs (after they've been plagued), if you have armor ups- they don't take that much damage from sairs. It's sick.

you might make a queen or two as well, snare his sairs if he over extends himself with them or even just parasite. Carriers are the primary target ofc, but reavers, sairs, shuttles are all pretty valuable things he won't usually kill or leave in a corner.

It is extremely difficult to break a protoss base if he has reaver/sair canon. Late game add storm and carrier (maybe even maelstrom) and its nearly impossible. So what you gotta do is either out resource him, or catch his army out away from the base.

I'm not a z, usually play p, so the best I can tell from your situation is that if he has so many corsairs, he probably must have a shittier ground army. I would go to defiler tech quickly and try to break his contain with swarm and lurkers.

Cloud is 100% right, and if I were you I would listen to him
