Well i've been pwning terrans with no remorse. And wyatt harassing me to show my strat.
It's a pretty basic 4 gate stargate proxy pylon build

9pylon
12 gateway
14 gateway
16core

a tip i learned, is that, when the warpgate research is 1/4 way done drop the next 2 gateways and they will finish about the same time as the research is done.

Proxy pylon. Generally I place the pylon in their natural.
a good mix of zealots, stalkers and 2 sentries can really cut the shit up on most early terran forces
proper baiting and forcefielding can be the winner.

There is usually 2 ways to get into their base. either by baiting with a couple zealots and once they leave, forcefield their retreat
pin them with zealots, and count ur change.

If they dont take the bait
u should already build the stargate, rally it to the proxy pylon and chrono a void ray.

the void ray with a range of 7, allows u to cut open the base, either the barracks or the supply depot is a good aim. I prefer the supply depot because if i'm lucky I may supplyblock him. and be at a huge advantage.

If he went Siege Tanks, then cut that up with the void ray quickly before opening the base.
if you are going to die in his base because of his output or w/ever I suggest.. destroy the supply depots.
If you must die, make sure and cripple him. Constantly support ur men by warping in units near the proxy.

Either destroy his SCV's or supply depots. I prefer taking out 2-3 depots then harassing scvs. the depots take much longer to build and therefore are a major blow to his economy and general threat

[TriniXaeno]

Well played, I really have to hone this against terran yes.

[Mez]

AN example of the weakness of the MeZ

[Mez]

bleh

[TriniXaeno]

That man chrono all those zeals from two gates yes. Talk about back to basics.

Simple but effective.

[Mez]

So lol this is the 'MeZ Anti-Mage' haha

[Mez]

Ok So, my version of 4 gate against terran aptly named 'The MeZ'
Goes like this

9 pylon
12 Gateway
4x probes
15 Gas
16 Gateway
17 pylon
19 core
3probes (on minerals, take 3 off minerals and onto gas immediately as the assimilator warps)
21 pylon - *Boost the research for warpgate
4x probes
When the warpgate research is 1/4 way finished, drop the 3rd and 4th gateways.
Proxy the pylon after you drop the last gateway and move out with the few forces u built (i like to go 2 zealots 2 stalkers, doesnt matter, 2 stalkers imp for reaper harass)
2nd gas
3x probes.

Now no strategy stands first contact with the enemy. Like many terrans you may notice he has put a seige tank near the entrance effectively blocking you
fear not, keep proxying units while you can

Drop a stargate and chrono boost out one void ray. Use the void ray and a couple sentries to down the siege tank. and open up the base. Some builds may even suggest using a phoenix, but the void ray is more versatile as it can cut down their supply.

The objective of the mez, is to use the overwhelming rush to supply and tech block ur opponent, notice i took out the supply depots AND the tech labs on the barracks. I'd rather not have harder terrans to fight. The rest was simply cleaning up the mess.

[Mez]

Remember that Micro is your friend, keeping zealots trained on marauders, while kiting with ur stalkers is a heavy strat. 1-2 sentries in the mix can change the battlefield enough to kick it into ur advantage.

[Mez]

Me beating Janus, God knows how I do that?

[Rebirthoftheundead]

awesome reps...u make protoss look so good mind posting one vs zerg?

[Mez]

Thats the bane of my existence at this point, Zerg for me is pretty hard to stop. I havent found 'the cure' yet. But there are some interesting Void Ray Harass strats that seem to work.

[haterforever]

guess anytime i play against toss i always have to expect this cheese. he maybe thought he won when he slipped past.

[TriniXaeno]

Mez, you are a boss yes.

I need to find the guts to pull of those brazen protoss tactics. very well played.

rebirth, all the replays against janus were toss vs zerg.

[Rebirthoftheundead]

i know but beside janus...i find myself struggling to win a PvZ match too often its like u either kill them early or have ur ass handed to u later wit unbelievable mass

[phoenix31tt]

i know but beside janus...i find myself struggling to win a PvZ match too often its like u either kill them early or have ur ass handed to u later wit unbelievable mass

yes well thats more or less the secret to beating zerg... u have to either take them early... or contain them... the longer the game goes and the more expansions they get.. they harder it is to beat them

[Crixx_Creww]

i find zero problem in zerg and terran
but of recent, i have lost every single game against toss players
lol
every single game
steups

but zerg is the easiest for me
take them on early, cant rush faster than them, but then again, you know that
so plan for the counter attack
Mez's proxy stargate works wonders against the terran horde
when they come with their disgusting mmm at your front door, micro them on your ramp while the proxy stargate is massing your voids to hit them where it really hurts. Supply depos and command center.

Zerg i hit them the counter after their first waves, harass with voids, and prepare for stupid mutalisks

16 or so zealots in their base seems to be the ideal number for massive zerg death
and if the game goes into late, make sure and contain their asses. dont let them expand
and bring in the heavy carrier iron
thats gg

two of those matches took place while i was at flows world. The win against zerg with carrier and the proxy stargate against terran i believe.

i wont show my usual defeats against toss.. i dont understand why i almost always seem to loose against them. sigh

[Mez]

I really need to learn dah 'Anti-Mage' build dread.. I keep effing it up...

[Mez]

Yeah.. not EXACTLY sure how i pulled this off. Part dumb luck part resilience

[TriniXaeno]

True diamond level play. That man had an early gold mine on your head for most of that game. Expansion with money like crazy and still....loss. Talk about tenacity.

Kite ftw. I woulda find where yuh was living and throw a stone through your living room window if I was him yes.

gg

[suzieboy]

LOL this is wat happens when u turtle up too much!

A 3v3 that end up bein 2v3 (me and the other random dude vs 3) early in the game. But we still decided to play it out.

But One of The opponents turtled soo much, it was as tho it was a 2v2 an my teamate an i took advatage of this...the opponent had to actually watch his 2 teamates get rape lol.

With good use of nydus we Deal with all of them afterwards.
