So many stalker/zealot first builds are being used right now. If they don't build a sentry it's nearly impossible to hold. | ||

Many builds on later right now revolves around countering stephano style. This is a very handy build to learn. Esspecially for tournaments.

Yep, I do a variation of this on 2 hatch and I must be around 90% win rate vs FFE at high plat. (playing some diamond toss) Majority of protoss I play don't even bother to scout if I have a 3rd! | ||

Hey Acquire, didn't mean to insult "Sleet" - it may well have he who first did this 3-hatch bust. I doubt that Zenio saw his replay and copied him though, and it's fair to assume Zenio was the first to execute this build at the pro level. | ||

This makes this build much stronger since you can simply run by mass lings with speed. Those games are always so sweet, when the opponent doesn't completely wall-in so you just run by with speedlings. It used to be that on maps like Shakuras, Protoss wall the top of the ramp with 3 large buildings (gate/core/forge) but nowadays, they often use a pylon/zealot or no wall at all. This build is becoming more effective as Protoss go greedier. | ||

In rewatching many of my ZvP games, I've noticed that rarely do Protoss players ever check for the third unless they plan to cannon it, which you can stop if you chase the initial probe with your lings and watch the front of their base. | ||

Using this I have won every match that they went FFE I believe. It can even work well against top of the ramp gateway openers. Use the original blings to bust down the pylon or the zealot and stream lings in. Lings vs zealots aren't bad if they don't have +1 and you have speed because they won't be able to kite well between attacks. Worst case you run circles around them and dart in to kill a few probes and keep running. | ||

Second gas when i start speed (replace drone) Next 50 gas > Take one drone off the first gas and build baneling nest with it (replace drone) 2 drones onto the second gas giving you 2 geysers with 2 drones on each. | ||

Yeah I've been debating taking a 2nd gas or cancelling the third base. Will have to study some more pro games using this or similar styles. | ||

I was playing something similar to this but I would get 2 queens and 3 hatches, decent saturation and a ton of lings + banelings and hit much later / delay their third. Rather than run up a ramp and lose half my forces to forcefields because my attack hit later, I would sit outside their natural and delay the third/threaten a run by. It was much less effective. Yeah I would argue the earlier you can bust (ie. before warpgate) the better. The problem with droning more and getting 2 queens is if they do a 7-8gate all-in, you're going to be hard pressed to hold it with only ling/bling. | ||
