Showtime wait until Serral got +2 air and 30 Muta before dropping down the 2nd Stargate and research Phoenix range is NOT how you counter Zerg tech. The moment Zoun saw Serral Spire, he immediately put the 2nd Stargate and Fleet Beacon down to get ready for it.

Yea and thern the zerg doesnt buil mutas
It's a very fine line of investing into anti muta but not overinvest esp because you never know how hard the zerg commits.

Thats the whole point, you want to be ready but not over-commit, dont build many Phoenix but get the Tech ready, then scout some more. Zerg saw the double Stargate and he would think twice about building mass Muta or they will get hard countered.

And if hes not building mass muta, the SG can be used later for Tempest, its a good counter move.

Yea but you invest into another sg and fleet beacon which might hurt hard if the zerg instead does a brutal ground attack.

Yes but stalkers allow the zerg to skip roaches (if he is good) at least the normal poke variants which leads to them getting their desired tech much quicker which seems to be what is turning out to be hard (faster lurker timings) and it would shut down this spire build instantly.

Zerg cant have a "brutal ground" attack if they commit to a Lair and a Spire, again its coming down to the scouting and map vision.

THe lair aint a commitment (thewy get it anyways) the spire is somewhat but often enough you see low or no mutas into a very hard ground attack which often neough kills the protoss if the overdefended the mutas.

I dont think building a 2nd SG is an over-commitment as long as you dont mass Phoenix before seeing more Muta showing up, thats just my view.

That could be, a 2nd sg might not be, a fleet beacon as well i think might be too much tho.

I would Like to See some ways for protoss to reliably Deal with Mass lurkers that isnt tempest/Air and some way for zerg to Deal with tempest/skytoss that isnt so feast or famine.

Phew, Serral losing ZvPs too regularly is surely a harbinger of the apocalypse, so the Earth is safe for now
