Today you will be the first Protoss to easily defend that roach build we were doing last night. I've got a few builds in mind that I think would hard counter every aspect of it. I'll watch some PvT games later and get working on stuff for you to do in that match up. As for PvP, I'll probably either just have you 4gate/3gate robo a bunch or do a blink stalker build.

So what could I do if someone goes robos and I scout it with that build? Would using hydras in with the roaches do good?

Ok sounds good. I have to make a call to a college I may transfer to for another semester in like 30 minutes or so, but afterwards I plan to practice the rest of the day.
@Konr - Hydras are a hard counter to robo.

Yeah also you need detection to prevent high ground blinks. If I'm pushing forward with observers I can tank for a few seconds then warp to your high ground from your 2nd or 3rd. If I was pushing hard I could use a warp prism with sentrys and block off your ramps. You need to be ready for that.

If you scout robo, just keep making roaches. You max out on roaches by the 12 minute joe. The only way a single robo could counter it is if you are really bad and let them FF your roaches forever. And it doesn't matter because you're on 3 base and after you attack you can remax and the Toss can't attack you. The second wave of roaches will kill them.
Also I have a doctors appointment in an hour and a half so I'll be gone until around 5ish. Once I get back we can practice the build.

Sounds good. I just called the college so I'm basically all set. I may do a few ladder games here soon to warm up.
