Hm, I'm a bit confused. It's a 4-gate +1 zealot, and then you add on 3 more gates, so shouldnt that be 7 gates in total, not six? It might not matter too much, but I'd still like to know as a point of clarification.

this is why i like the hero style abit more, which is (on maps with 3rd with a ramp that requires 2 forcefields) to make 2 sentrys after you started robo and 2 zealots, to make a few sentrys pick 2 up in your warp prison and 2 zealots then go to the 3rd and drop the units ff ramp 1 or 2 times and warp in 4 more zealots , kill 3rd and proffit

altho if you actually can get a proxy pylon up then this is not needed and will be effective anyway if the timing is figured or not. i mean zerg timings in TvZ are figured out hence still idra is winning with same builds over and over again. its about the execution

Not commenting on the zeal timing but part of the build is forcing units with zealots and warp prism which would probably delay mutas a bit.

If you can force roaches for defense not only would it be less drones but waste some gas on them as well. With effective harassment I'm sure you wouldn't get that optimal 6 mutas at 9 like when you can just ling/muta without any pressure. If zergs have figured out how to hold off with just lings then yes it probably would be more mutas earlier.

just tried roughly the same style for the first time, beat high masters player pretty easily that was going for quick 3 hatch into roach...just one game though, have to see how it holds up against other builds

There's quite a bit of irony in this post considering, if anything, it's 2-base muta timings that have been figured out (and seriously who even goes 2-base muta anymore?).

mutas only come out at 9th minute if the zerg is teching really fast, sacrificing some economy and is willing to take the risk to gg right away if there s a 7 gate or something similar.

But yeah, very fast mutas can cause trouble to this build

Not to mention, it says don't do this build if it's a 2base. If mutas come at 9 minutes and you've taken a greedy 3rd, it's going to die ezpz to +1 zealots. I don't see how a zerg can get 3 bases of really good saturation and mutas popping at 9 minutes with good amounts of lings and spines for defense. I don't know if that's even possible.
So if you scout 2 base muta then you aren't going to do this build eh?

I don't see this stopping Zerg players from getting spire and getting mutas. If he scouts the incoming colossus tech before mutas are out he can simply make 5-6 corruptors, kill collossi and then go back to making mutas while either denying your third or simply containing you to 2 bases which is an auto lose as well.

afaik this build relies extremely on forcefields, so if you move out too early and 'waste' forcefield before you are a step before the zerg's base, you're are very vulnerable to roach/ling.
It's a pretty scary build tho when you don't know it's coming. tt (zerg tears)

What do you do if zerg goes mass roach with drop researched ?

First time I got the build don right I snipe his 3rd once then deny it one more but by the time my 2nd colossus comes out he unloads tons of roachs inside my base ..

Seems pretty specific, we would need a replay. I don't think that mass roach drops are a counter to this build at all.

I've been looking for a 2 base timing attack build to practice, and I think this is the one I'll pick. Great guide, great build, well written. Thank-you very much.

Is there a way that I can just subscribe to an amazing thread like this instead of replying to it?

Also, to reitterate, very well done OP!!

Oh, and what kind of adjustments do you make for a map where the zerg can't take a really fast third like on shattered because of the rocks or maybe xel naga? Do you skip the zealots poke and use the WP to scout while still pushing for the colossus timing?
