hey sometimes i have trouble not knowin what 2 do when i scout a zerg late and find out he is making choke .. like too late to be able 2 rush it with my z rush or rine rush .. when i find it i usually chnge strats straight away and go 4 fast temp storm think thats a good idea ? i hardly lose PvZ but sometimes i do and not sure if im doin the right thing when i cant take out the choke early ~ Suggestions with TvZ too ?!


Ok. in zvz, learn how to use defilers and late game tech, you'll win more games and live alot longer. Gaurdians are good for breaking chokes, lurk swarm is good, plauge to rot sunks, if they're using lurk swarm charge with fully up'd ultras to try and break lurks, Broodling to take out defilers and lurkers , etc. Combinations of these things, dont forget to try and nydus/massdrop/attack from sides with gaurds, dont just try and break the choke.

In Tvz, you have to have tanks and you have to have vessles OBVIOUSly, scout out with vessels around the choke and asssinate defilers and lurkers to prevent them from lurk swarming the choke, if you're attacking one fo the corners, put tanks on the two adjacent bases so you can hit his choke w/out being directly in his own choke (i.e. if you're attacking top left corner base, put tanks in mid left's top area and top mid (12 o clock)'s bottom right area, you can hit his choke opening from there and wont have to worry about getting hit by lings or hydras. If you really wanna get fancy, dont forget nukes... cover up ghosts with a pile of vessels so its not visible to be targeted directly (also defense matrix + medics is really helpful). Tvz is mainly just working tank/vessel/MM magic and being able to break it and quickly move in, you're biggest problems will be defilers (make those first priority to kill especially with irradiate), and gaurdians will also be the other big problem, use gols irradiate and valks or wraiths, MM wont do shit vs guards. Also try and irradiate his drones periodically to throw him off.

Finally in pvz, this is the easiest by far. Storm, disruption web, and reavers are easily the best options, and you have no excuse for being able to use at least 2 if not all of those spells, its fastest.. money is no problem. I think storm is the number 1 ally in breaking a zerg's choke, obv you need a core army to back it up, but you have to have temps and maybe some reavers and archons and stuff.

Just mass probes and do a quick 7 minute recall and stack kill his main.

If ur rush failed vs choke, if the zerg is gosu, don't tech reaver or temp, just mass normally and do ur storm well. Make recall if possible. If ur drop fail, it's gg cuz ur too much slower than the zerg.
