(no criticism here, just asking) Usually Protoss opens with corsairs (similar to Phoenixes) so he takes out overlords, but the maps are way bigger than in SC2, so if you control them well enough and split the DTs, they can do lots of damage. | ||

(no criticism here, just asking) Corsairs kill/chase Overlords, Overlords aren't that fast, and Zergs tend to not have too many units at that time either. | ||

That and ovies without speed are sitting ducks. +1 air upgrade on corsairs are lethal too. corsairs/reavers w/ shuttles are common practice too. | ||

(no criticism here, just asking) Corsairs rape overlords. Also, DTs don't require separate tech structure (same tech structure for both DTs and HTs) so it's not a huge investments to get a couple of DTs. Also, it gives protoss map control until zerg gets overlord speed. | ||

Also, it gives protoss map control until zerg gets overlord speed. Yup. Bigger maps + slower overlords = crazy map control from just a few DT's. And since HT's are essential tech for protoss, it's somewhat common to see toss get a few DT's for just this purpose. | ||
