It feels impossible but if you know its coming, you can just leave a small army near home to help defend, or save some army supply for warp ins in the area that gets attacked. I say "just" but this play style is neither easy to play nor defend against. | ||

For example - more observers watching the various attack paths, squads of units on roving patrols to keep checking for groups of zerg set up to counter. You only move out to posture once you've checked then you assume that Zerg is sending units around yours while you move towards their side of the map. 2) More harassment - a warp prison + proxy pylons to send in units every time he sends an attack towards a protoss base. These attacks don't require much attention or micro from P, with the result being zerg's precision takes a hit as they divert some attention away from to coordinating such incisive strikes. Yes, yes, I know. much easier said than done - especially for Protoss players like classic and herO who generally like to gain early advantages using sharp early or mid-game timing attacks. | ||

To 1) observers Just get killed and you need your robos for other things. Unit squads are also too fragile and you dont want to lose immortals or hts so thats not rly an Option i think especially when zergs Just kill those Units for free and move Back To 2) harrassment ist pretty hard vs this as Pylons get easily killed by lings and If the prism dies once its difficult to replace it because you need robos for immos :D also vs these pushes you often need all Warp ins at Home | ||

If you have enough cannons, batteries and are maxed out it's certainly possible. Classic's moveout was just a bad time imo. Getting more air units out would have been better. | ||

I think Classic's harass was fine though, he made other mistakes. | ||

If Zergs start playing like Reynor and Protosses start playing like you describe, the games are going to be so amazing. I remember liquid hero did this kind of thing a lot. Toward the end of his career he crushed Life in proleague doing this kind of harass with dts. You'd think a few spores or overseers would shut that kind of thing down, but it didn't. Worth mentioning that in game 1 of the first series, he basically died to counter harass. | ||

In some ways it is quite similar to the multi-pronged aggression that successful Terrans often use. A bit harder to pull off as Zerg (IMO) though, given T's relatively shorter list of mechanical tasks that offset their much harder micro requirements needed for good trades. Effectively controlling and utilizing multiple counter-attack groups as Z, while also staying on top of creep spread, injects, overlord positioning, defense, etc. requires pretty slick mechanics! When pulled of though, I the dividends it can pay are obvious - by taking the initiative, Terran is suddenly off Zerg's back for half a minute, without that pressure, the Z player now has more attention available to focus on maintaining their tempo control, all the while is more likely to be able to keep on top of their other zergy jobs. | ||
