However, if you're relying on spines + infestors for defense, then this is going to hurt real bad. | ||

Ya by the screen shots if you are hitting on 12 i will be maxed on roaches or around 160 supply with hydras. on around 70 drones with a 4th making most likely | ||

The point of this build is to blink units into the Zerg main while having a Sentry to FF the ramp. It doesn't have anything to do with attacking at the ramp. Please stop dismissing guides with a single comment. This strategy might work really well and it is just a mid-game variation of the 3 Gate Sentry pressure that Protoss have been doing against Zergs without spines (FF ramp and attack natural). I can see this working really well and kinda makes Roaches even more useless against Blink Stalkers. | ||

This is still potentially really good, the zerg would have to have that sort of composition to deal with the forcefield on the ramp. | ||

I know blink stalkers beat speed roaches, but throw two infestors in there and you have a huge problem. This is still potentially really good, the zerg would have to have that sort of composition to deal with the forcefield on the ramp. Way to read the post bro. | ||

But this is actually a benefit of the strategy, since it doesn't give zerg their usual amount of time to pump out units right before the attack arrives. Who the hell beats 6gate blink stalker just by "surrounding with mass ling"? | ||

It seems like a really good strategy that allows you to dodge spines. I will use it the next time I play PvZ. | ||

Either base trade or preemptive surround. | ||

I mean you can use another composition if you want, but I was just picking the most simplistic. You can have 6 speedlings for each stalker by that point easy, and the earlier you engage, the fewer stalkers they have. That is how you surround with mass ling. | ||

Move his roaches into his main and get cut off from his natural? Split his army in half and get killed? Stay in the natural and sac the main? Write blizzard an angry letter and QQ on teamliquid? I'm not sure what a good scout can even do to stop this unless you manage to decipher "+2 attack mass blink stalker with warp prism-ed sentry to block ramp" by OL scouting his base and build like 6 spines in your main while leaving your army at your natural. Umm, he would just meet your army in the middle of the map? Kind of like you do against terran who wants to seige up on your low ground and elevator? I can't even tell if you're just trolling lol. | ||

blinking into a zerg base AND FF the ramp. so glad you brought this to blizzards and my attention, hopefully between the 2 of us (me and Justin) we can knock our heads together to figure out some sort of solution to this wild new, unforeseen yet timely playstyle. | ||
