Also, 4gate is fairly easy to counter vs a zerg. Change it up! | ||

With regards to the unit mixes, I actually think your overreacting quite a bit on this point. Zerg leans on unit upgrades alot vs P so as they take so much time to get zerg CAN't effectively do fast unit swaps anyway. For example suppose they are going heavy roach and are upgrading roach attack already. This should put the P into stalker + robo play generally while getting a few attack upgrades. If they are to switch units at this point (for example go muta) you have so much upgraded stalkers already that a simple blink upgrade automatically counters them fine. In the same way it is really hard for them to switch from muta/ling back to roach/hydra that late. Nevertheless it is quite easy for zerg to counter certain units fast, such as colossi. As a result I would never ever get too many colossi (just get 3 or so) and just force them into overproducing those corruptors. If he gets too many you simply switch to immortals straight away and you are still in a favorable composition. That's basically the trick with protoss vs zerg imo, you have to use compositions that are very robust to anything they throw at you and never invest too much in a unit they can too easily tech switch to counter. That's why the stalker is the baseline unit vs zerg really as there is no zerg hard counter to them and they mix well in any army. | ||

But if you get a macro lead with a FE our options as toss open up incredibly. What you need is the ability to go for one tech path while also teching to the next one to be prepared for when Zerg responds. 15 nexus really works well for that reason. 15 nexus also kind of baits Zerg into making less drones and pushing in. It has the same effect as when you feign a push only it's reversed. Playing standard is tough for toss in everything but pvp because you really gotta make sure your units earn their cost and one FF misplaced can be detrimental. Suprise Zerg. If I manage a safe 15 nexus I've gone for +2 carriers and have won almost everytime | ||

Nony's build is pretty much the new 4 gate. It's really hard to beat, even if you do scout it, because of how strong sentries with a lot of energy are. Then he reinforces with stalkers from 5 warpgates, and you're really in trouble. If you have lots of spines and go hydra, you can probably defend it with relative ease, but if you're going muta, you're going to have a lot of problems. | ||

Fast Expanding: Seeing as how Protoss now functions, it is becoming abundantly clear that Protoss needs to expand more than any other race, especially early. This works extremely well against Zerg, who are automatically economically behind unless they are allowed to Drone or expand relatively quickly. Carriers: While Zerg have both Hydras and Corruptors to deal with Carriers, I still think that they can fit into general gameplay soon. The upcoming patch is buffing the Stargate a little (Phoenixes are built faster), so Phoenix-heavy builds may become more common. This then opens up the possibility of a tech switch to Carriers because their damage scales so massively with upgrades. | ||
