Protoss Build Order versus Zerg (StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm)
793StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm Protoss Build Order. Today we are going to take a look at NaNiwa, one of the best Protoss players in StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. We are taking a look at a game he played recently versus HyuN, one of the best Zergs in the world.
The goal for the build order is to push out with 2 Immortals, and a whole lot of Zealots with +1 attack. The push hits right when Zerg is vulnerable and is meant to kill them. You could however fall back, after doing sufficient damage.
The reason why this is so strong is because when this push hits, the Zerg is usually droning up and has very little army. The army that they do have will be mostly Zerglings (which get eaten by the Zealots) and all in all Zerg is very weak at this point when they open up 3 Hatch. There is really no way there is a big ball of Roach Hydra waiting for you.
Since we are pushing with a lot of Zealots, gas will not very much important. Only 1 gas is needed for this Protoss build order.
NaNiwa decides to not scout at all, however, he does play it very very save. I do go over this in the video above.
9 Pylon
13 Gateway
14 Gas
16 Pylon
@Gateway: Cybernetics Core
19 Start a Zealot, but cancel it if there is no early pool coming
@200 Minerals (23 supply): Probe to the low ground, cancel Zealot, start a Nexus
@Cybernetics Core: Warpgate
Teching up
@100 Gas: Mothership Core
24 Lowground Pylon
@100 Gas: Robotics Facility
On the low ground: Forge + Gateway (make a wall)
@Nexus: Transfer Probes to the Natural Nexus
@Forge: +1 Attack
@Robotics: Warpprism
@Warprism: Immortal x2
When the first immortal pops out: 5 Gateways
Load the Immortals in the Warp Prism
Warp in as many Zealot as possible
If you see potential, move out a Probe early to throw down a Proxy pylon.
