Zest - Double stargate phoenix (PvZ Economic)
Description
(EN) I think Gemini will cover this build better than me but, and i also apologize since english isnt my mother language, here it goes! Also the comments are in pt-br but you guys will be able to understand most of it.
Thats a kinda easy to follow, if you pay attention to macro and keep scouting of course, as long you do this and use the phoenix to kill gas workers so the hydras can be delayed you will be fine, zest goes from about 10-12 phoenix i think 10 it's good enought, he also keeps them moving all the time trying to kill a few queens and using as map control which helps a lot against some allin, try to don't be greed killing workers those phoenix are needed later on.
The first phoenix will kill the overlords around our main, which we need so they don't scout our second stargate. Also try to keep one phoenix close to the 3rd base from the zerg, if your opponnent decided to go YOLO with roachs and ling you will need to know so you build some shield batteries and voids.
If you're afraid when you start your 3rd just get a couple shield batteries there.
Remember: Always keep those phoenix working in something, harass or map control, our goal is secure the 3rd and delay the hydras, don't be too greed with them losing them may be very painful later in the game, since you can lift a good amount of hydras.
(PT-BR) Essa build é relativamente fácil de fazer, porém o controle exigido pelas phoenix serão os maiores problemas, junto com o macro. Essa build é relativamente safe você consegue se defender de cheese já que você pode fazer qualquer transição necessitaria para segurar banelings ou roach/ravager push.
Algumas coisas para lembrar, a primeira phoenix vai matar alguns overlords na base principal e natural, depois disso envie ela para o caminho principal que seu oponente pode usar para atacar você, assim você vai conseguir ter tempo de produzir alguma defesa.
O oracle vai servir mais para scout do que harass, então tente não perder ele.
Acredito que a forge pode ser feita um pouco antes seguida do +1 attack (ground).
Se o seu oponente cometer um allin de 3 bases ravager/roach pare a produção de phoenix e faça voids, assim que possivel segure a 3rd e faça a transição para double robo (se ele continuar com ravager) se não arquivos templares archon e storms (excelente resposta para ravager + ling/bane ou hydra+ling/bane)

Analysis
After the double robo it's secured you can just get some sentries for guardian shield (vs hydra or FF vs roach)
(PT-BR)Quando a 3rd estiver minerando o minerio vai começar a sobrar o que siginfica que você começa a adicionar mais gates e warp constantemente zealots e hts.
(EN) Once you 3rd is up and runnig mineral will start to bank so start to build gates and keep warping. In case of mass ling go for archons if zergs is playing normal just go for ICA.
This build it's just amazing for the amount of possibilities you have, if you scout something like mass ling/bane ravager, get the twilight early and go for archons so you can secure the 3rd base.
