Fending off proxy gates/warp gates as zerg?

blith Canada69 Posts March 23 2010 09:32 GMT #1 Hey guys, So this is my situation, I scout at 10, 13 pool- I usually don't have a problem scouting the proxies, just defending it. In proxy situations, I panic and just keep pumping zerglings to defend, but they always end up containing me and then run me over, cause of my lack of tech and economy. When I try to back stab, they defend with cannons. So what do you guys do? and what would you guys advise? Thanks. I lost to these stupid things so much, so I decided to ask about it.

Get your queen out, stay in your mineral line if the numbers are tied, and only move out if you are sure you can kill his units + his proxy. If you are not sure, just stay near your crawler, keep scouting how many units he has and make lings accordingly, but get drones too whenever you can. Wait till roaches arrive and gg Dont forget to tech to lair before you move out to counterattack, or if you cant, get a 2nd queen at least to defend vs the common proxy transition into banshees/voidray.

Then I realize it's you, and that I did this to you just a few games ago

As soon as he's forced to move back to his own base you can just run all your speedlings back there before he gets there and rape him gg no re. Unless he's just pumping straight zealots there will be some point where he needs to move. If he is pumping straight zealots get roaches and own him.
