even with an upgraded lvl 1 weapon of 20 stalkers aint enough to beat a gang of roaches...haiz

get blinks...
but really 2-3 base spamming roaches > stalkers lol...
so maybe u need to transition to VR or something by then...

haha sorry for such a short reply..

Anyways what i meant was if you are rushing you can go pheonix because pheonix has graviton beam, it can disables siege tank and i doubt terrans will go banshees or raven after siege tank because it would be taking out alot of gasses and even if they do go raven their forces wont be big because they are teching so rush the terran before he has his full force..

wow im facing alot of trouble against roaches too haha i feel that sentry stalkers are the safest way but you can split them in to two group with ff would give the favour to you but the problem is you need alot of sentries like 4-5 which takes out alot of gas too the extra minerals can be sued for another expo n extract gas but by then u shud go collo n stop relying on your sentries already..

when going all the way with stalkers....theres only 1 thing left in my mind...end his game fast. Cause once i spam stalkers, gasses is enough for stalkers..hardly enough for robotics, although mineral is plentiful enough to build up to 10 gateways, gasses is always the important ones

I feel like I don't know how to start off my game nowadays especially against Zerg. What do you guys usually plan to do? Despite scouting, knowing your opponent gonna roach rush, is stalkers good enough to fend them off? Coz I find once they start massing roaches, it's pretty hard to keep up with the stalker count.

the zerg FE? try phoenix harass

use VR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

roach/zergling will be incredibly weak agaisnt air : ) ......queen -> get a phoenix then

VR TOO NERFED

I doubt I have enough time to pump out enough Phoenixes to counter the roaches in time.


Hm. I've not tried that out. Maybe it'll work.

Haha yea. I didn't expect a mass banshee either. He turtled up in his base with the tanks and went mass banshees. I thought my mass stalkers could take it down but guess I underestimated the mass amount of banshees. Should have gone phoenix to screw him up.

Yea I hate those roaches too. Luckily stalkers have a longer range so you can still kite them a bit and as long as they are not on creep.
So far gold and platinum tiered people are still falling to a 4 gate rush.
Think it won't work against your league.

I think roaches with speed upgrade walk faster than stalker off creep, coz whenever I retreat my stalker those roaches are able to chase up and hit. correct me if im wrong.

they do, but stalker got blink, so stalkers used to wtf own roaches with 3 range. with 4 however. no chance rofl

Yea. If they get the speed upgrade, we're kinda screwed.
Plus burrow its going to be hell...

with that many stalkers the window for toss is kidna small...
GSL even had some zerg spamming 200/200 roach continuously and won "
if u stop ur stalker production, u die... if u dun? u sitll get overrun in the end...

hence stalker needs a buff haha

no, just unbuff idiot roaches

make the range to 3.5 hahahaha

i would love range 3.5 roaches (as the pros predicted pre-patch)...
else roach should be 100/25 compared to its current 75/25 cheapskate price

Sangho just showed how to pwn roaches in GSL

the 15nexus build as mentioned...
my fav PvZ build since i saw tester did it...
