Scouted their position last. saw the 2gates coming up. by the time they attacked i had queens on both my hatcheries and some lings but how the fuck do you stop a 2gate? I microd well, pulled off injured units, kited with queens, attacked with lings and drones, pulling injured drones back to mine, etc, but it seems pretty much unstoppable?

You need to attach a replay. But the general consensus back when zealots built so fast and 2 gate was quite common, was to get a roach warren.
MLG: How is your Protoss? Idra: I make Blink Stalkers, so really, really good.

You need to post a replay... otherwise no one knows what you're talking about; e.g. How many zealots did he have? How many lings did you have? What did you open with, 14pool or hatch first?

No one does 2 gate anymore, since it just doesn't work very well. If the guy insists on making zealots then just make a few roaches and kite.
Fear is a 4 letter word. Why be afraid?

Either make roaches or a quick baneling nest to stop zealots.

If you scout it early, you can roach rush him since his tech is awfully delayed. But, I have to see the replay - what your build was, how you microed, your decision making...

Just open with speedlings in ZvP, and when you scout the guy going 2gate, dump down a roach warren, get some roaches and rally in speedlings after.
