What i'm talking about is the style popularized by Solar/SoO that isn't all inish, you get 3bases, 60ish drones and one evo upgrading (I love the +1range/+1melee style from Solar) so it's a stage that you reach once the P takes a 3rd. The main offender in PvZ imo is the +2/blink/sentries style with an early third, there is no 2b Protoss play that looks ultra imba nowadays. So you want to attack a P on 3 bases and except on Deadwing I think you can do real work in the current map pool. I'm not advocating the mass ling against a 3rd style Life love to use but something a bit more solid that would ideally transition into something les gimmicky than mass muta but that's not really possible nowadays and that's sad. Well it's getting pretty theoretical now, but anyway: I love the style you talked about, but I think it suffers from the same problems we mentioned earlier. What if he takes a third even after losing some units? If you take a fourth then, you're vulnerable. I'm gonna make myself some enemies now but I think IdrA said it best. There's no "safe play" for zerg. What I mean is that you can't just take Solars style and transition out of it if it's not working out - if it's not working out you're pretty dead. SH kinda changed that, you can actually fail an attack with SH, but as long as you don't lose the SH you're still fine. (If you lose an attack as Protoss, you just warp the hell out of it. Blink stalkers can blink out, forcefields can stop an attack as well. Terrans have similar stuff with medivacs and tanklines that can force an opponent to retreat, and I don't think I have to mention the Raven do I?  )Obligatory mention of this thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/478011-legacy-of-the-void-multiplayer-development-update where we talked about things like these. I don't want to derail this tournament thread too much even though it's downtime atm | ||

(I'd even say that it would be reclamation-worthy, but well) | ||
