The only all-in viable is stephano's 12 max roach nowadays. I'd argue the roach maxout is among the least viable all-ins nowadays, with so many players going blind immortal/sentry. | ||

A great way to punish protoss players who play too greedy but if the protoss respondes in a proper fashion, i.e. just chrono sentries/build extra cannons when they see 6 lings + fast gas + late hatch, you should have a hard time to kill him. The reason can be very effective since alot of protosses do in fact NOT respond to scouting information correctly, especially in lower legues.I'm being serious, i used it abit before and had good succsess with it, can anyone tell me if its viable or not? I'm guessing it's a bit less viable because more and more protosses have begun to realize that sacrifising a bit economy isn't a big deal when zerg is opening fast gas because the zergs economy will be suffering as well. Still, I think you will rack up quite a few wins on ladder using this build, and this is also a good way to throw someone of in a BoX series. | ||

It is still a viable meta-game tactic, especially if you. . . a) Open with other gas-first builds that aren't as all-in. b) Deny Probe scouting of the main, later, the cancelled expansion. c) Hold Xel-Naga towers and clear any Zealots/Probes moving across the map before they see your Roaches. I would say Protoss players are a bit more experienced and efficient at defending against this build now - it used to be much more devastating - but it is still viable at any level. I've even been using it in HotS with moderate success. | ||
