Great job on this guide. This has helped me out tremendously. Really catching the grip here and it's wonderful.

I love this style and will continue to use it.

Again, congratulations on this guide TangSC, it's rocking!

Funny how protoss say they can't do anything. If you FFE you are denying yourself the ability to pressure,accept that fact. You guys were laughing at zergs when FFE era came, now zergs finally learn how to counter that you are back to whining again. HAHA, I love protoss qq. We adapted, you should learn to adapt instead of whining,

I would like to see a stephano vs genius showmatch or something. Genius's hyper defensive reactionary style I think would do very well vs stephano.

you're going to have mass colossus, HT with storm, and void rays at 12:00 and be able to hold off max roaches cost effectively? no forcefield?

Yes, while waiting to that point, just mass sentries and spam forcefield while making colossus, etc.

Or another alternative would be to mass zealots and just a move but I dont recommend since they are not good vs microed' roaches

Updated to 7:20, which more accurately reflects the lair and 3rd gas timings. Remember, it's your first 100 gas after you start gas 2 geysers at 6min.
Thanks for the suggestions, LazinCajun.

If you start the two geysers at 6 minutes, you should have 100 from ONE geyser by around 7°25°, 200 from the two that you would make. You should have the gas at right around 7° from two.
I haven't tested the resource timings though, so is 7°20° the approximate time you'll be starting it due to mineral constraints or is it simply not optimal to spend the resources until that bit later, but you need the geysers at that time in order to save up to start upgrades in good timing?

Shouldn't your economy be at 2100 for minerals not 1900? i dont see the point of not making 2 extra drones per base

Personally ive been seeing a lot of all ins beat this on the ladder. Watching Catz stream the other day I saw a couple of toss beat him in a row, often with the toss cutting drones on their 2 base all in, to get it hitting before he had any roaches out. At diamond level where I play on NA and SEA, players have started blindly copying these all ins because every zerg seems to go Stephano style. I'm strongly considering going back to mutas until zergies start doing something different.
and he whispered, never more

Anyone can mass drones for the first 8 minutes of the game and be maxed at 12:00. What makes this style hard to play is precisely defending all-ins. If you're going to give up this style because you can't figure out how to deal with 2 base all-ins, then it's your loss, but you should be a little more perseverent.
