If you skip your zealot without scouting it, you're probably dead. You need to pull probes when the marines try to come up the ramp and force them back, and make sure they can't get a bunker up. You're just trying to buy time until you get a stalker or two out: don't lose the units but if they try to fight you, mineral walk the probes past and surround on the ramp. Losing a few probes is fine. The zealot is just to buy time for the stalkers really. The trick is just to delay with some probes, try to avoid losing them with good micro if you can, don't let a bunker go up, and chronoboost those stalkers. | ||

Of course, it's always possible for it to happen at random times, but the most obvious times are still when the zerg player has forced you to invest too much into robo tech. | ||

I'm just chillin', sorting out my wall and suddenly lings happen. I guess what I need to see is the zerg's gas and react by getting the wall up asap and assume the worse? if you scout early speedling just take a 3 gate stargate expand walling, I've seen patience do it succesfully on his stream, then you can pressure with zealot sentry and eventually recall back. | ||
