What do you guys think of 6-7 minute thirds vs gasless 3 base style? You can end up with 6 gas really fast which also allows for a ton of sentries, but less energy on them, but you can flood in with a ton of gates around 11 minutes.

well my build is 7.15-7.30
anything earlier is in my opinion punishable by just making units
as a toss you also need to add gates and stuff for production
i really think this requires more testing

Would love some input on how to deal with drops vs this. Any time zerg gets drops and just drops his roach ling army on my sentry-heavy army, I'm not gonna have a very good time

After doing this for a few days on ladder(mid-master) I can say it definitely has potential. Great build - with proper execution I am able to beat almost everything zerg throws at me.

That being said some of your replays are kinda confusing.. Is your advice to put down 2 stargates and/or move stalkers into position for defending drops every time you get suspicious? I'm pretty sure these were not the first times anyone on ladder calls you a hacker if you do that consistently..

So when you scout mutas you go 2 stargates instead of blink/ ht?
Also what is your reaction to fast broods? ie 15 min ones

yep, i personaly prefer going phoenix, but you can also go blinkstalkers, but it s a lot harder with this kind of build
broodlords mean infestor tech before
if i see infestor tech i go twilight and robo bay, into a 3 base blinkstalker colossi all in
but that s all up to you, you can do what you want, that s not part of my build anymore

Hi, appreciate the guide, I've tried this build and its good defensively, but how do you normally play against the more passive approach in response to your fast 3rd. (ie taking a fourth, going to infestors + hive with a lot of spines)?

Also, how many sentries do you normally make in total?

Thank you, great guide!

I've been testing this quiete a lot and found it to only be safe on Entombed Valley, cause you can wall urself in completly at your third. I think on this particular map its better to go for a 3rd at 6.30 and then add your 3 additional gates at the entrance to the 3rd. (Take the Rocks down while doing so and of course mak a cannon behind your gates).

On other Maps you just die to early speedling attacks because it's alomost impossible to get out enough units in time to safe your 3rd without having it walled off.

It might be possibly on Daybreak though but that seems hard to me because the choke is really large.

Ok so you go 1 robo with 2 collusus I"m guessing? and then like 10 or so gates and +2 attack?

Ok so I want to play macro style with with build against fast broodlords, and I keep gettting rolled. I am looking for help on the transitions. I feel like I'm close to holding off these brood pushes I just need to rework a couple of things.

Here is a replay

http://drop.sc/223105

Now I went for warp prism harass and took a 4th but I think the mothership was late, so maybe throw down the stargate earlier. And should I go for collosus too? Or just skip them and go for more archons? Finally, what time should I take my 4th if I see the z going for fast broods?

Thanks

to the rep, the build you played was fine, except that you should go observer first after your robo finished or you should go for an a lot earlier hallucination
you scouted him too late, that s why your transition was late
i usually prefer colossus over archons, but that s always up to the player
if you see the zerg going fast blords, you can take the 4. as soon as your 3. is saturated
the zerg is investing into tech, and you ll need 4 gases asap

Thank you for the guide, I have been struggling in finding a comfortable opening against zerg's that doesn't just completely die to the roach timing.

nice guide as i am a 15 year old mid masters, on NA though, but usually my expo is planted down at 10-10:30, now i feel confident into taking an earlier expo, as zergs wont devote huge swarms of units that early into the game anyways, Ty :D

I think if you are going for the 4th in response to the quick broods you need to drop the stargate when you see the z has a 4th and an infestation pit or else the z can hit a timing before you have enough energy to vortex. What do yall think on this?

i agree with you, but i have to say to myself, that i don t have enough experience in the lategame pvz
i usually try to kill the zerg before greater spire is done
