Unless you're doing what? 1 gate 3 robo? 1 gate 2 stargate? What strategy are you doing that involves a single gateway by T2? | ||

Banelings arrived around the time I would generally start my robotics, which means that I'm still on 1gate at the time. | ||

Don't use your pylon as a wall, build it a bit further from the ramp, then either use 2 gates or gate + cybernetics to make a 1 hex (or whatever you call them) wide entrance, which you then block with a zealot or stalker. You will probably lose the Z/S if he still tries to bust it, but since you will have 3-4 gateway units of your choosing at the moment he's busting (Unless you were afk for 2 minutes or something), you're in no trouble. Replace the blown up unit the moment it's gone and you're fine. | ||

it takes 9 to kill 1 stalker. remember that and have 1 stalker in the Sparta gate while the rest of ur unit 2-3 range back from that stalker. if the zerg is stupid enough to waste 9 banlings on 1 stalker, than he already lost the eco game. Do not block the front with a group if zealots. do not leave ur ramp while open. thats all u need to know. | ||

If you have at least 1 Sentry and 1 Stalker at your front door, Banelings are pretty much worthless. You should also have some buildings blocking your ramp just in case. After the Zerg player's attempt, they will be so short on resources your swift counter attack will pretty much end the game. Of course, this is only if they don't go roaches or lair tech during their initial attack. | ||

If you're worried more about 6/8 pool, using the pylon to ramp block can help, but it becomes a liability against banelings much like terran supply depots. | ||

I love it but the one strategy i cant stop is baneling bust. they run like 4 banelings at my zealot explode him and send in 10 speedlings and devastate my economy. I always did this against t as z but never thought it to be a viable strategy for protoss. so how do you guys stop it? I got the same problem when i begin... Pylon 9 like all the time send the probe at base scooted, if you see zerg taking a gaz you can suspect he goes on ling roach or ling baneling. So you go gate 12 gaz 14 core 15 pylon 16. And take warpgate as soon as core is done and chronoboost first zealot then pump 2 sentry then stalker. You neeed 2/3 sentry for FF your choke and one zealot too bloke with stalker for damage. If you want i can upload one rep which on i trani this. Now i never lose against this. | ||
