I'm sure reasonable build responses will come out from Zerg now that this gold base rush stuff is getting common.

This build has been around forever. And it's awesome.

How it is awesome when the zerg knows exactly what protoss does and can't react do anything?

There are no map bans?

Abusive? IdrA is gone can that weird attitude disappear already?


Some playstyles are abusive. For example, the 1-1-1 against Protoss back in 2011 was abusive, because the Protoss had trouble scouting it, and had to guess on how to react. Prepare for the 1-1-1, and you could die to a 2 rax pressure. Prepare for the 2 rax pressure, and you die to the 1-1-1.

BL-infestor was also abusive.

You certainly can attempt it, and it's reasonably strong, but by committing to a third base he missed his timing.

Look I didn't want to give it away, but there are two builds that kill this. Either

1) 1 base 7 roach rush.

Or

2) 2 base speedling cancel into 8 roach rush.

Stephano in his prime had broodlord-infestor, there was no MSC for protoss etc.

Is the 12 minute max out now blord infestor?

It's fascinating to me that people now consider gold bases overpowered for Protoss, when Protoss actually started doing much better after gold bases were finally removed from the individual league map pools.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

no, 1-1-1, was beautiful, it was art, it took heart.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

you cant relieably bait a photon overcharge. 1 zealot at both walls is enough.

you have to go for the bust despite there being photon overcharge available to have a shot. if you bait the photon overcharge showing a shitton of lings or even some banelings, P can hold forever with forcefields, cuz both ramps are so small

Stephano in his prime just did his own fucking thing and made it work. He probably would have double expanded to both golds and maxed on Roaches at 8 minutes or some crazy shit.
