I'm seeing definite results just from watching this video ty so much and thank you for answering my questions earlier. My first two craft cups I lost to two mid diamond zergs in the first round but now today I took out a master league zerg in the first round quite convincingly =D.

This roach/speedling all-in gives me a lot of trouble when I use this build... just got eliminated from the TeamSpeak TL SC2 Open because of it.

[image loading]

Any idea how to see it coming and react? I actually got very lucky that I didn't go into shark mode when it hit, or I would've lost all my units away from my cannon. I was able to stabilize eventually, but my tech was severely delayed and I couldn't catch up after that.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

The only way to scout it is if you have your inital scouting probe alive on the map. You were caught off position and lost a lot of sentires because of it. Also, you have to zone the roaches out of range of the cannon so they can't hit it.

Thank you so much to both Khaladas and iNControl.

I'm only a newly silver level player but the tips in this video have helped me feel so much more confident in my PvZ which has always been my most dreaded matchup. Since seeing this I've been making much more use of sentries and stopped going so cannon heavy. I've also started getting blink upgrade for stalkers and no longer fear muta so much.

Before seeing this vid I'd never have considered paying for tutorials but now I've seen what actually goes on I think the benefit would be huge.

Anyone know if iNcontrol has an EU account for lessons or is it NA only?

Thanks again to Khaladas and of course the man himself.

Thanks very much to the OP for posting; I've been helped alot by watching this coaching session. I've gone from feeling helpless at executing anything but void ray all-ins at PvZ to settling into what I feel is a much more stable 3 warpgate opening. Incontrol's build seems very solid. However, I've felt kind of naked at points with regard to roaming around in "shark mode" while executing this strategy.

If any of you saw the Metalopolis or LT games tonight between NesTea and choyafou in the GSL RO8, NesTea busted out some speedlord doom drops in the main with hydralisks that viciously punished Choya for not having enough units (stargate opening). I realize that good scouting is key, but this seems like it would absolutely cripple a Protoss who does have units but whose army is outside the base engaging in "shark mode," or else initiate a base trade, which is pretty unstable. Choya tried to use FFs to block his ramp, but of course, force fields have little effect on a doom drop, so those sentries suddenly become little more than moderate damage-dealing snowglobes.

Have any of you had this type of Zerg play attempted against you while trying this style or have and/or have a replay of it?

Ya iamke ive been losing to it too, they just stop making drones at some point and just all in off 2 base. Their economy is a one base economy but they have a ton of larva. Basically, the advice my friend gave who is quite good... is that you need to constantly scout to see if theyre cutting workers and pumping units. observer is obviously one way but that always an option, and hallucinated phoenix could probably do good as well im guessing. I suck vs zerg though thats just the advice he gave me against this specific build. I feel zerg has a distinct advantage in this matchup on most maps. Its annoying becuase in your replay for instance he goes all in basically just to barely kill that nexus... then while you rebuild it, he takes his 3rd and one larva cycle puts him on the exact same amount of workers as you. Really frustrating to watch, my heart goes out to you and anyone else who gets "all-in'd" by a race that can recover over a 25 second period
