This build will never be "easily" countered in the current metagame, mappool and patch. | ||

Well, that obviously doesn't easily counter this build, since you won't do this build if the toss doesn't FFE, since the toss is already giving up his strong economy. | ||

Edit your guide down to 11 minutes please so I can own toss harder on the ladder :p I will be doing an updated Part-2 of the Stephano-style, a more in-depth look for those experienced with the 12min maxout who want to shave off some time and maxout earlier. | ||

Korean Protosses seem to be dealing with it absolutely fine, considering Korean Zergs only seem to use this build vs foreigners. The build of course kills any Protoss who failed DT rushes or something like that. | ||

Protoss is always behind in the meta-game, but instead of working to fix problems, they whine until blizzard fixes it for them. That comment is a troll magnet. Instead of responding directly, I'll just say that the phenomenon of complaining about perceived imbalance is not limited to Protoss players. Sometimes people's complaints turn out to be right, sometimes they're wrong. Take a look back at how informed opinions can change over time. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=189923 | ||

Same as every shift in the metagame from fast dual upgrades terran (ling infestor becomes popular) to infestor/brood zerg lategame (ghosts become really useful before nerf, I'd argue they're still good). People figure things out, stop this whole "this build is imba" thing. | ||

Protoss players already have figured it out (will pro's no idea about non pros or anything) | ||

If you have a decent amount of roaches out in time for the zealots, they will get absolutely crushed. You can also hold it with lings, but thats a situation you don't want to end up in, as its not cost effective. | ||

Yeah, if you happen to scout chrono-boosted cyber core, it is advisable to get the warren around 6:30 OR produce a handful of slow lings. Usually players will move out with some Zealots to get map control and put a pylon down closer, if you can shut the probe/zealots down with slows lings you could stop the 4gate from hitting your expansion before a 7min warren comes into play (DRG does this). The easier/safer response is just to build the warren slightly earlier and save 3 larva at your 3rd so you can start 3 roaches there right away. | ||

Not relevant, his losses were not caused by this build, he gained a significant lead in the midgame against it regardless of what happened in the late game. | ||
