 /leap I like this build though, I've done it a couple of times as my first foray into FFE builds and won each time. Thanks, OP. Edit/ I did feel a little dirty doing it the first time, though. He even had hydras out and it didn't make a difference. | ||

You have to drop proxy pylons, which is a drawback. But the build can be stopped once the sentries are either sniped or out of energy (if the zerg scouts it, and is good) because immortals can be focused down by roaches (or surrounded by lings). Neither of those things can happen with Voidrays. Something I just started playing around with, and I haven't gotten a full build order worked out yet only doing this build or slight variants with a stargate substituted for robo, VRs substituted for immortals, and proxy pylons substituted for prism, but I can see how there might be something there - the only real options for zerg are hydras or queens, because mutas would take too long with him already committed to roach/ling and aren't good vs mass stalker anyway, and spore crawlers can't move, so they just die to ground army then VRs come in. and both hydras and queens are gas heavy and slow, plus cut down on his roach count, which is good for zealot stalker sentry. just a thought. All that requires more gas which means less sentries, also he can ignore your voids and kill you. | ||

Genius has an excellent void ray into gateway all-in build, it hits with 2-3 void rays and +1 attack around 10:00 mark iirc. Immortals are a lot stronger than void rays vs roaches, but voids are better at denying scouting, forcing different reactions, and you can hit a bit faster. | ||

I love doing this because it puts everything into the protoss's hands, if you can't execute you will get wrecked by smelly roaches. | ||

I disagreed though. Stargate play are easily defended now since zerg has adapted to it. All you need is some queens and roaches and a few spores to defend these stargate with gateway push. Personally, i find it much easier to defend compared to the sentry immortal push. People have shifted more towards robo play since the Stephano 12 min max roach became popular. A early 4 gate +1 pressure on the third of zerg and the followup of robo with 3 immortals or 2 immortals with warp prism is a really strong all-in compared to the void ray+gateway all-in IMO. To beat the sentry/immortal all-in, you must know it is coming before hand AND ENGAGE his sentry/immortal with your lings to force out forcefields when he pushes out or threaten to counterattack and also snipe some sentries since they are they key in the pushes. If you managed to snipe most of the sentries and force out lots of forcefield,you probably hold the push much much easier. Most zerg make the mistakes of building spines and making mass roaches with lings try to beat the army head on which you are not supposed to do. You must flank his army and bait out forcefield and continuously produces more roaches+ lings until you have enough to overwhelm him. Most people make this mistake | ||

Makes it even that much stronger. I just tried getting one more immortal and it makes this all in even scarier. | ||

The whole issue stems from the fact that the counter to the stalker and the immortal is the zergling. But the zergling can't be effective since protoss moves in a ball. It's incredibly horrible design, but that's the game we've been given. I'm sorry, but that's a false statement. Zerg can absolutely stop this build. Good flanks, focus of sentries, and if they went roach hydra, sniping the warp prism. Not saying this is easy to stop obviously, but you need broodlords to stop this???? Please | ||
