    Ok guys and girls....,

    Having a little bit of an issues defeating two rushing double gateway Protoss players.

    Its crazy that Protoss can mass a rushing army stronger then Zerg AND just as quick if not quicker.

    Out of principle i never 7pool because that is just scrub level of playing...!

    But how do you guys handle 2 rushing Protoss players....especially if they get a jammy proxy off aswell :(

    When I'm playing Zerg and I spot a 2 gate, I immediately bunker up with lings + spine crawlers. I tell my partner that I will most likely need help soon.

    If you think 'oh these 2 spine crawlers should hold em off' - nope! Get more like 5-7 spread around strategically. It's not overkill especially when you can move them to your expo later on.

    When they attack, micro your lings and use your Queen's range on them.

    A few steps.

    1) As soon as you realize a proxy rush is coming, put up your spawning pool immediately. If you don't have enough minerals, cancel some drones or an overlord if you can.
    2) When pool is done, immediately put up 3-4 spine crawlers in and around your mineral line. Your ally should do the same.
    3) Keep making a few spine crawlers while you build up drones and zerglings.
    4) Upgrade zergling speed, run past the zealots that are seiging you, and counterattack the enemy bases. They most likely won't have anything there to defend them.

    Yeah i see now!

    Thanks to both of your inputs.

    Normally my bro scouts and says 'DOUBLE GATEWAY'....:laugh: and instead of the spine crawlers ive been going for roaches...which are excellent versus Zealots but not enough :(

    So i will take you advice actually and use the crawlers!

    Thanks a lot dudes.

    don't look up
    I'm with you on the roaches. spine crawlers put you behind, but microing roaches on creep with speed boost and you can handle all the zealots in the world, and put you in a good spot to counter attack. you can't counterattack with spine crawlers
