you have to be clear to us: is the toss attacking with 4 gate or 6 gate lol.
no way a toss will lose to zherk droning like mad and lair tech.
and thats why i asked, because if you drone mad, 4 gate will kill you there and then. but if he focus on 2 base then 6 gate, your econ is confirmed to outpace him :/
and what too many tech involved? would you rather have ur roach bullied by stalkers kiting you? speed roach only requires 200 gas from lair and speed upg. granted, if you after you got ur tech you can go easy on gas as they are mineral heavy (pull gas off and saturate mineral faster and start spamming army to pressure toss)
also if ur a zerg against toss and ur not doing upgrades (dual evo chamber for example) you're gonna get overpowered by toss chrono forge(s) especially when hes 2 basing.
=edit=
and to emphasize on this, look up the protoss thread where i posted a pvz. he 2 base i 1 base 4 gate all in.
HAD he gotten his upgrades, i could've, or would've lost already. but he didnt. no roach speed. no carapace/dmg upgrade, nothing.
hell if i knew his tech so derp, i could suddenly sneak in a stargate and get ONE VR, he would've gg'ed earlier too.

Added on June 15, 2011, 7:22 pm200 minerals for a deny isnt too much to pay. you see many koreans especially toss doing it against zerg with their pylons. though pylons, is a ton cheaper, and doesnt waste that 1 drone.
actually the zerg can drone like mad when the toss FE...
there are certain timing especially wit the warp gate changes...
no to forget the investment for the expansion (though i faked expo to 4 gate few times b4 lol)
as i said u can saturate 2 and a half bases with drones before the toss could even move out =p
with good scouting (map control with lings and OL sac) u can drone up without a care in the world...
and u can reproduce in time for the toss's atk as long as u have good larvae management...
the key of a good zerg is that larvae management...
u can always notice nestea/ losira stockpiling larvae till a crucial information before deciding drone or army...
