well, this is awkward

Is that even a thing?

The Dark Templar is an especially effective unit against the Zerg when paired with the Corsair, which can quickly kill off detection Overlords. In competitive play, it is common for the Protoss player to opt for a Corsair/Dark Templar build or Bisu Build. In these builds, Dark Templar are most effective after Corsairs clear out any Overlords, thus allowing the DT to maneuver around undetected. The map control provided by this strategy is very effective and forced Zerg players to come up with counter builds. DT's often enter the Zerg base through a Shuttle drop to further evade attack at the Zerg chokepoint or Zerg entryway. Although mainly used to harass, four Dark Templar can quickly take down any tech building, such as the Hydralisk Den or Spire.

That's a DT drop then. Not a Corsair and DT drop.

The intial two Dark Templars are used to deny a bust or a contain of Zerg. Ideally, the Zerg has no option for mobile detection and has to give up the map control for the next minutes. Consequently, Protoss should try to harass the Zerg expansions if possible, but not sacrifice his Dark Templars. Speed Zealot attacks serve the same purpose of threatening Zerg bases and exploit weaknesses in static defense. Shuttles can be used to drop few units into bases of Zerg, especially if Spore- or Sunken Colonies are missing.
