Description

How to scout it?

  • Delayed robo (3:00) after twilight (2:25), then x3 gates
  • Fast Mocore
  • Only 1-2 gateway units until the DT warp-in

Defending Archon-drop

  • 2 extra queens
  • Pull back overlords
  • A few lings to counter the 3rd so they can’t get a fast 3rd whilst archon dropping
    • Important to keep them honest
  • 10 roaches
  • Don’t chase it too far, and always anticipate them being “annoying” and abusing high/lowground
  • Remember that when it gets out of control it’s usually because you weren’t target firing queens on the prism or moving queens into position fast enough.
    • All protoss players know the sinking feeling when a zerg is really on point with those queens always ready on the edges to start shooting the prism down before the archons even drop
  • 6:00 - no 3rd? = mass units off 3-4 gas. Preferably scout even earlier with overseers to check what the followup is
  • Unless you see the prism go all the way home always leave a squad of 6 roaches in your main/base furthest from your army

So the most important points are:

  • 3:45 - Lair
  • 4:00 2 extra queens
  • 4:30 spores in natural + 3rd base
  • 3:50 Roach warren
  • 10 roaches
  • MAX 10 drones on 3rd
  • Drones and overlords while defending

Emphasis/Notes:

  • Queens on the edges
  • Scouting
    • Watch out for the “fake 3rd” 45-55 probe charge archon immortal Stats timing as a followup
