I've been having a really hard time with PvZ lately so I decided to try messing around with the creator prime chargelot/collossus 3 base thing. This is a game I had a particularly tough time but won in the end. The only reason I won was because of the upgrades. Some things I did horribly: I really messed up scouting the third. For some reason I thought I had scouted it not being there but I didn't. The idea of the build is really rough right now but I think I should make stalkers much earlier around 140 supply when I push their fourth. Other than this I was wondering if there are any tips regarding how to engage the enemy as I am having a tough time with that. Any nuggets to come out of this near loss that I didn't think about would be GREATLY appreciated. http://drop.sc/276103 I know I am supposed to use replays where I lost but my near loss though very far ahead on upgrades (because of horrible engagements) I think there is something to learn about engaging from this replay. Thanks. I think I will compile a mix of wins/losses after to have a more extensive look at the style and timing. I hope creator uses it at WCS so I get more VODs to watch for it. | ||

So instead of a 2 base immo all in you want to try and sneak a third and hope to have enough army before his hive? There's a reason you only see 6 gates/7gates/ immo/sentry all ins and other "2 base cheese". Playing vs. zerg is like playing against a clock. | ||

So in my opinion, Protoss 3 base timings have way more options that are harder to (at least remember to) scout than the 2 base ones, and this is mostly due to how in the early game we have 100% overlord vision of your base, but in the lategame we can hardly get on your side of the map without overseers. IDK, I have a lot more trouble with 3 base timings than 2 base timings, but they're still defensible if scouted + reacted to correctly. I'm just bad  But I can defend an immo/sentry all in 9/10 times....only took like 50 practice games and writing a guide on it, lol. | ||

Everyone still has the potential to outplay zerg opponents of even ratings, doing damage with pressure and following up with a better controlled pre-brood timing. The "clock" hasn't changed since beta. | ||

The "clock" hasn't changed since beta. What has changed since beta is zerg's ability to control his late game army. For a long time zergs would just attack move their whole army (which was roach/hydra for a long time). Now you see even low masters zergs splitting their broodlords and infestors and being more careful when they push. Lategame is genuinely tough vs. zerg. It definitely isn't unbeatable, especially below GM, but it's a lot harder than it used to be. I think looking at chargelots is a really good place to look to find potential strategies to play a longer game vs. zerg. | ||

When should I get my Robo when doing a warp prism 4-gate, and should I get a second gas when I do the build? | ||

When should I get my Robo when doing a warp prism 4-gate, and should I get a second gas when I do the build? 1) 2 is the most common number, but 3 can work. People don't usually get range anymrre though. You can do with a single Colossus if your all-in a reaction to defending a 4-gate. 2) You can get the proxy pylon at 24/26 supply and build the robo there, Parting did it off 1 gas in the BWC finals, but you can get 2 and stop mining from it after you start the robo. | ||

2) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=233968 works both in pvp and pvt. It's just one variation though, there's more out there. | ||
