It kinda sucks, is every ZvP going to be like that? Protoss is very weak at that timing, and zergs are learning now that the 3 gate expand with just sentries followed by fast tech (iNcontroL was building a robo) is greedy. It's necessary for the game to evolve that zergs punish protoss at that timing, so that protoss will start playing a little less greedy, which will give zergs a little bit of an easier time. One of the reasons the deathball is so strong is that toss gets away with playing greedy early on to get an edge: stop letting them do that, and it gets easier later. Well I wouldn't say it's unreasonably greedy as it is defendable, it's just for some reason a lot of toss players are failing hard when it comes to defending it. Not that it's easy to do but still.. If it's very hard to defend (it is) then your play is greedier than it should be at that point: you're taking a risk for a potential benefit. Protoss players have been doing this for a very long time now, and teching immediately after expanding is greedy play. To play safe after that expo, you need to throw down more gateways and pump units for a short while before you get the robo, and tech slowly. iNcontroL was getting +1 weapons and a robo when that attack hit, and his army was less than half the size of MoMaN's. The definition of greedy is trying to get a big economic or tech edge without being able to defend effectively, and that's what we're seeing repeatedly with that roach/ling timing. Rather than going immediately robo, it might be wise to get hallucinate, pump more units, and get a slower robo and get upgrades after the phoenix scout.
Seriously, I have yet to see a single Protoss hold off the all-in in a live casted game in any tournament, it is NOT easy to defend regardless of not getting fast robo or +1. Getting a robo isn't greedy either, it is being safe because you need that observer
Watch White-ras 12weeks with the pros from yesterday, even he says it is difficult

Man Sjow, u need to start scouting more  . U lose so many games because people are abusing that.

SJOW MISSES THE THIRD
he thinks he's playing against similar timings but cruncher is going to be soo far ahead
the casters are actually doing well together
cruncher on three racks with a factory
cruncher getting four gates and a robo
the hidden expo is gonna make a huge difference.

Stim is done researching, Sjow may hit a good timing here.
edit; ok he's more or less dead, Cruncher's army is out of control.
