You can't really pressure them since they will mass lings and not even 7-8 sentries are going to keep your small force alive. This is kind of bullshit as it's basically the same scenario as BW, except zealots suck. By the way I'm talking about pressuring as you 3gate expand and not forge FE. But if you have some effective way of pressuring except air, which kind of lose to blind hydra, please do tell me. A lot of people also like blink stalker play to pressure or do a variety of 6gate push before the 3rd starts mining. The thing about forge FE is it makes it much easier to do a 6gate push faster compared to a 3gate expand because you get your own expo up earlier and accelerate the rate at which you add units for your final push. The problem with what you're saying is that pressure off of a 3gate expand with just your immediate units is tricky and very situationally dependent. This is a better question for a [H] thread with a replay and stuff. Not a very "simple" question. | ||

Thanks for the tip about blink stalkers though I'll make sure to try it out. I also want to make a point that it is not possible to forge FE on all maps, such as metalopolis. You'd just die to roaches. | ||

A warp prism with zealots into the main is INCREDIBLY annoying. A couple phoenixes + maybe a void ray can do some damage if he isn't prepared for it.

I don't want to bomb my MMR by doing ladder 1v1s, and I'm a little hesitant on spending $40 - $60 on another account. You could try custom games, or if you have a practice partner then he/she could help too. You could try putting a post in the practice partner thread but instead of posting your main race rank, post a rough estimate of how good your zerg is. Not a fake post like you are acting like zerg is your main though, just say that you need practice with your off-race. | ||

That's why you go stargate - because if he spends all on lings you can with double stargate get massive amounts of voidrays and phoenixes, if he doesn't go hydra and doesn't get enough queens in time you can basically win the game outright. Happens me sometimes. | ||

Happens me sometimes. The tricky thing about stargate harrass is that you need to have a good sense for 1) how much damage you've done, 2) how much you've invested in the stargate tech and units, and 3) the zerg response and your reaction to that. If you're playing anyone with a decent sense of zerg or how to play vs stargate, you can't rely on them to derp up and let you "win the game outright," so you need to have a transition prepared for however he chooses to deal with your air play. A typical play is to open stargate, expand, and as you're harrassing, use the pressure from your voidray/phoenix to tech to colo in anticipation of his hydra switch. EDIT: but again, this is all very situational, not a simple questions topic. | ||

(I know this is a bad post but this is the SQSA thread and I don't feel like repeating myself again. Just search for my posts in any PvZ thread and there'll be a better explanation) | ||

Lets say i want to change 1 of the hotkeys bind to F2 or F3. But im using a laptop to play and my F2 and F3 keys are by default to adjust screen brightness. So whenever i tried to bind the hotkeys to F2 and F3, i can't do it because only my laptop screen brightness gets affected. So my question is how do i totally disable the keys in game so i can bind the command to whatever keys i like? | ||

However, depending on the match-up, you should have 3 openings to confront each match-up (one for each match-up) | ||

You never know what will happen in the meantime -- it's better to have the archons ready for combat. Plus, freshly warped in templars have 50 energy, so you won't have to wait as long as starting from scratch. My question: Why does mothership even matter in combat? Imo with just two overseers, the effect of the mothership is totally nullified, no? (Let's not consider her spells for now -- sometimes watching pro games I feel like her mere presence is enough even though it does not make any sense at all...) | ||
