Analysis
Unit Reaction Getting a wall up isn’t all that important - just need to pull a few more probes if no wall Pull 4 probes (5-7 if you’re not confident in your micro and want a little more room for error) Use probes to buffer vs lings so they can’t surround zealot Stutter step zealot backwards if the lings are starting to surround it Hold position or mineral walk probes away as they lose shields Buy time - don’t need to commit to fight, just stop them from freely working on your buildings by going out, pulling back, go out and hit a ling, pull back. This dance will buy you valuable time. Once your 2nd zealot is out it’s pretty easy Once the adept is out it’s cleanup time, zerg better get out of there!
