EPTEven if I was able to put pressure on him he could just warp in enough to deal with it. And if I started transporting my units to the low ground he would know because he had observers. I didn't really want to get colossi just to break the ramp because of his immortals. Any advice how to deal with this?

He expanded and I went for blink but his army was still better than mine because I couldn't get my zealots or immortals down from the ramp. By the time I went for warp prism his natural was booming and he got colossi out. Even if I was able to put pressure on him he could just warp in enough to deal with it.

Any advice how to deal with this? well if you both went 3 gate robo you probably want to expand asap (you always want to be the defender in PvP) so he should have caught you at your nat instead of your main. Anyways I think that if you go robo/blink you can get 2 inmortals and a warp prism (you shouldn't be getting more than 2-3 zealots anyways) and you can get your two inmortals out with the warp prism and offensively blink to his army (since he should have a smaller army if he is both expanding and teching to collosus, which your observer should have spotted) making you destroy his army easily, then u walk to his nat and kill him. EDIT: Oh and happy birthday ^^ | ||

In particular how do you micro against a mirror 3gate robo match without collosi? | ||

In particular how do you micro against a mirror 3gate robo match without collosi? Depends on the compositions, spread your army as much as possible, try to surround or flank him, make sure inmortals focus fire armored stuff, try to make zealots get ride of his inmortals, pull back archons with low shields?, blink stalkers to focus fire archons/inmortals, basically watch a pro replay (as in MC, Huk, Sase, Hero, people that are really really good), see how they micro, then copy it. | ||

Make sure you spread your units so your zealots won't get clumped, stuck, etc and use forcefield to cut off his zealots from his range units. | ||

You need to add void rays and/or templars to your collosus/blink stalker ball, then you storm the brood lords, let the collosus get ride of those brood lings/roaches/lings while you focus fire the brood lords with voids and blink stalkers (make sure while all that is happening that you are warping in more reinforcements from a nearby pylon). EDIT: Maybe the reason you are loosing isn't because of your composition but you are just getting outmacroed by the zerg player, post a replay  . | ||

To be honest, the only cost effective way to deal with 10+ broods with good roach/infestor support is with either a mothership or carriers plus archon/templar support along with your standard stalker/colossi. Or if it's a big map, base trade. | ||

But if you have a few voidrays to deal with the brood lords and enough HTs to feedback the infestors. Can't you take out the infestors, pull back with everything but the voidrays and then kill off the roaches with whatever army you have? | ||

Didn't this build fall out of fashion a month or so ago because of something? Doesn't he now use a two gas 1 gate FE? Thanks for the advice though. | ||

This build is still pretty good, its only slightly weak to bunker rushes but you can still pull it off with some decent micro (and you can win the game with your first warp-in vs an FE most of the times ^^) | ||

For you to beat that, a protoss really needs a larger stockpile of resources than the zerg to instantly re-warp back to 200 pop of stalkers to finish off the rest. Basically, against that composition, you need to avoid the broodlords and infestors and harass their economy. Once you've done sufficient damage, you can comfortably engage in non-efficient engagements and still win. | ||
