I've been having trouble with this lately.
My last game vs this, I scouted the lack of a natural; scouted their proxy hatch at my 3rd.
I immediately get a zealot (cyber was still warping in), then start getting stalkers and adepts. I get 3 gateways online. Manage to warp in a shield battery, forge, cannon, and a robo in my natural (I never took a second nexus) just started building in that area so I could engage at that ramp vs my main ramp.
I managed to keep my minerals low by making units (never got enough to start a second nexus), but still ended up losing.
Some things I *Think* i could have done in hindsight: - Remove the robo or forge - not sure which I should have taken out the build. - Instead of sitting and massing as many units as possible, I feel like there might have been a small window when I had about 4-5 units to go out and attack the proxy hatch.
I tried asking in game for a zerg to do this to me again, but haven't been able to pull anyone. Any help/advice I can get here would be appreciated so I can take it to ladder.
Thanks in advance!

I hold this with 2gate robo batteries, no forge. stalkers only to defend roach/ravager while the wall at natural defends lings.
once you have 2 immortals, with batteries they will hold off any early game roach ravager. get a warp prism after the first 2 immos and kill every non-ling unit near your base at will.
^^that all works even if you don't scout the proxy early enough to kill it
otherwise there have been times where if i scout it early enough, chrono'd gateway (2 zealots then stalker) can kill the hatch.

All [H] threads are required to have a replay.
We need a replay to know what happened.

The advise from nath is good. Of course you need to micro a lot to hold this rush, even if you do the right thing, taking some biles can end the game.

In my oppinion, this is holdable as long as you get some extra gates. Basically, as long as you add gates 2 & 3 fast enough such that u can make them warp gates as soon as warp gate is done researching, you can warp in stalkers/adepts and micro them to hold the rush.

Or just post a replay? It really isn't difficult.

Save this thread! Post a replay of you losing to roach ravager even if you aren't OP. Be the hero that we don't deserve, but desperately need.
