even if he has a few carriers, if you get 2-3 base in the beginning and swarm the protoss... i'd safely guess you can kill him before he gets that many carriers. or you can just wait for mass corruptors to deal with carrier while attacking the protoss base with broodlord, ovie drops, nydus worm, etc etc. the problem with carrier is that 1. if he loses interceptor you have to build more so you need decent amount of minerao and 2. they are very very slow. kill their probes, corrupt their stargate or w/e that's called, just keep harrassing him with zerg's mobility | ||

Since he's turtling up, he won't be attacking you until later. Muta will be good, if there are only 2-3 carriers out, and you have 10 or so muta to snipe them (numbers off the top of my head), once the carriers are down you can then use them to harrass and attack key buildings. Corruptors are the more effective Zerg counter, but once the carriers are down they become a little redundant (unless you get broodlords) You could always try drops or N.worm. | ||

Carapace upgraded corruptors and a few brood lords to slowly melt his base. Since carriers have 8 attacks, they also take 8x the armor penalty, and with the bonus against massive they do wonderfully. | ||

There is no way in hell a one-base Carrier build should be able to beat a Zerg player. | ||

Wait until he ragequits, or if you have to leave soon, mass Mutas. There is no way in hell a one-base Carrier build should be able to beat a Zerg player. Maybe I am missing something, but what good would corruptors actually do against groud without brolords? They cannot corrupt buildings like they used to. | ||

Take whole map, macro hard. Hit 200 supply about 10x faster than him. Win game? Seriously just don't suicide small armies into cannons and play the outmacro game. When he shows up with his tiny force of carriers just FF it down while instantly macro'ing back another 200 supply while he has 0 gas and crush him. | ||

(can also use infestors with FG and NP, I suppose immobilizing the interceptors makes them useless for the duration) | ||
