Nickorama Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 You almost always lose against protoss as zerg, but I think I may have found a method that almost always cripples protoss. Protoss gains power from being left alone in the very early stage. 6-8pooling will make sure they don't build a deathball within ten minutes. If you keep harassing they won't get anything done and they'll likely leave before long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 When I played starcraft this is all I did, it sort of works but you cant stop harassing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nak_Muay Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 there is a lot you can do i play as zerg im top diamond and my favorite match is against protoss i have like over a 60% win rate protoss is very easy. if you see them build there second base quickly either you rush them if you are set up for it or you build your 3rd right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMonotone Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 6-8 pool isn't very effective against Protoss. Any competent Protoss will be able to hold off the rush easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalron Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I agree with Nak Muay. I always build my third when I see their natural go down. After that I tech up to lair and throw down a Roach Warren and Baneling Nest. I also have 1/1 researching by the time I get Lair tech. MOst of the time 1/1 melee/carapace is done by lair pop. After that, I feel most options are open for you to do. I most of the time have four gases taken as well by about 9-10 minutes. THis helps you collect gas for what I gdo, 14 minute or so ultras! B.A.M.F. stuff right there. But even if you can't do 14-15 minute ultras, you have enough tech to defend any all in. I mean as long as you fend off any DT rushes, you can win the game by defending/harassing their expos and then counter attacking shortly after you defend them. That's how most of my ZvPs go. I'm only in gold but I can be in plat, but I'm in gold, no excuses there. Take what you want from that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeNdRaGoN Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 6-8 pool isn't very effective against Protoss. Any competent Protoss will be able to hold off the rush easily. Agreed. Really a only a slipup on the Protoss player's behalf can make him lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
