Did NesTea scout the stargate? Or was that spore created due to pure starsense?

3-gate voidray all-in

I was the first one to post that strategy on the strategy forum for PVZ most people hate on it but i think its quite strong. Shortly after i posted it squirtle used it to beat idra in 3 games at IEM (he must have read my thread lol, jk of course) either way this isnt that strategy its a air play expansion build.

WOW first the spines, and now the hydras! an absolutely mind blowing way to punish an extremely greedy protoss.
on another note: stop dissing idra, you guys are demonstrating how little you actually paid attention to what he was saying on state of the game - he never once claimed the metagame was figured out. he was merely stating the obvious lack of zerg scouting options leading to them having to guess and coinflip when it came to all-ins. nestea's mind blowing strategy has no relation to idra's play, who in fact has been showing much better results in zvp lately anyways.

Funny thing is that protoss has those same restrictions on scouting options in the early game, lair and hallucination/robo should come around the same time / can come around the same time if the zerg isnt being super greedy/ places importance on getting a scout off.

In between there both zerg and protoss dont have scouting options, so its just as much of a coin flip for the protoss, how do they know the zerg isnt doing an all in? Also even after getting 6 sentries 3 stalkers and a zealot with the sentry expand it can be very risky to push out you can lose your whole army if zerg is going for aggresive play.

Both players have to make coin flips it isnt just exclusive for the zerg and thats where idra is wrong.


So much this. Every race has times where they are uncertain of what the opponent is doing, it is a part of the game.

You guys suddenly think ZvP is balanced because one all in for zerg punish the forge expand? :S

I'm not saying it's imbalanced, but a possible all-in doesn't really change the dynamics of the match up past early game.

with that said, nestea so awesome and that rush so excellent ;>!


How is it an all in? He was taking his third and had already teched.

Hasn't it sort of been established that Hydra drops are the counter to this sort of stargate/expand play?

Tastosis keep claiming that this strategy is completely original, but I think I remember seeing Idra do this in the GSL on Steppes of War and called it a creep highway or something like that. He built a bunch of hydras and spine crawlers and ran them down the map while overlords spread creep to make a path for them. It's not the exact same thing, but similar enough to say that Nestea didn't make this idea up on his own. Does anyone else remember this game, or did I just make something up?


No you aren't making it up. I said it a couple pages ago also, this IS NOT a completely new strategy. It's just that noone has really found a use for it until now. You can execute the spine rush without lair tech as well. You build a forward hatch, cancel it and there will be a small patch of creep that lasts for a fleeting moment. If you move a queen into position and lay down a tumor on the patch before it disappears you can start spreading creep from that location. I think I saw TheWind do it on his stream months ago. Before people start going wild, just think, if this build actually became commonplace, there would be MANY shortcommings and weaknesses that it has that could be easily abused especially by the warpgate mechanic. Its not a new found strategy and theres a reason its not a standard zerg strat. Nonetheless, Nestea has found a useful way to throw it into a series as a sort of "cheese"

Robo bay going down for AnyPro, getting +1 weapons. NesTea has +1 ranged weapons done and just finished hydra range. Going for a hydra/ling bust.
