If you have a 3rd you can do that - turtle hard with mass cannons and then go for it with mass blinkstalker archon/zealot and storm.
And in the meantime they tech to swarmhost which they will be able to with like 8/10 gases - you are dead again

Both players played pretty poorly in the first game.

Counterattacking is just a quick way to die. Thats the wings of liberty thought process. Anything that shoots up is helpful. But you always need the phoenixes to chase them down because they regen so quick in hots.
and if you scout it you're fine if you're sitting on 2 stargates plus fleet beacon. it really doesn't take many phoenixes to shut muta play down if you know it's coming

I don't agree with the massive regen buff; it's like Blizzard were upset that people weren't making phoenix to counter mutas, so they made it the only option.

I don't want to be mean, but he had the time to have +2 attack before doing mutas, so the switch was long planned. It's not like protoss hadn't any way of scouting (hallucinited phenix, real phenix). And at this level of play, people don't do a "random spire", and as corruptors are AWFULL against vr, mutas were really to be expcected. With just scouting the spire, squirtle could have guessed the strategy. The only problem is to know when. But he could have the phenix range + 6-7 phenix in time for the mutas...

Losers' Match Shine vs Squirtle Game 2: Daybreak
Shine spawns in the top right Squirtle spawns in the bottom left
0:00-4:00min Shine goes for Pool first and builds a Hatchery at the third base location as Squirtle blocks the natural with his Probe Squirtle starts with Forge and then Nexus, Shine goes for a fast third base at his natural location

Could be for Corrupters, Vipers, etc. But yeah you should be able to hold those Mutas off a bit regardless with the Voids / Nexus Cannon / Stalkers w/e while building Phoenix. Still Zerg tech switches are done so quickly with mass Larvae it's not as easy as some Zergs think ^_^
