Hi huys, wanted to talk a little bit about PvZ tactics and builds right now.
I am a random player, but for some reason unknown to me, my chance of playing PvZ are pretty high.
Just today i played again against a high ranking diamond zerg player (among the first 8) while chatting with my brother. It was late at night and i didnt play very seriously. Just so you can make a picture for yourself, i forgot to build my FIRST pylon and got supply blocked at 10/10! (yeah, it was bad)
Then a forge fast expand and i really didnt know what to do now.
I knew he was going 3 hatch, scouted that. So here is what i came up with.
I delayed my cyber core a little bit and got 3 gates, and started pumping out zealots like crazy. (with attack upgrade!)
Moved out with 10 zealots fairly early and pushed against his third. I didnt get it down but that wasnt the plan anyways.
What it did was to force him to get units, and he got a ton of them. He teched and quickly build them up to defend my attack, i was deliberately making sure he would scout my forces early.
Now i knew he went roaches and lings and that was the moment when i decided i go mass void rays. (Yay bronze league strategies!)
And i also got a warp prism, and again, i let him scout it with an overlord deliberately. I wanted him to think i am going robo gateway. At that point, i only had 2 gateways 1 robo and 2 stargates.
5 minutes later, he did bother to scout my main AT ALL i had 8 void rays and a bunch of 1/0/1 zealots and pushed out.
He had what i expected, many resources, many roaches, many lings, and no anti air at all.
Do you guys try to trick your enemy sometimes into believing you would go a certain build while doing some proxy stuff or cheese?
I really like that.
I also like to go 3 hatch as zerg and then not produce ANY drones but build a huge army of roach/ling very early.
My enemy sees me expanding like crazy and expands himself. And then i own. (or he rushes me, meeh, whatever)
