If you were playing me as terran, you wouldn't survive long enough to get Battle Cruisers

A few Zealots early in the game, I destroy your Command Center (or cause it to lift off), and continue to harass you while building up resources. Then whatever paltry force of ground units you've been able to develop will soon be met by 12 zealots accompanied by dragoons. Unless the map is freakishly huge, I own

I'm pretty sure a good terran player can counter a zealot rush. Admittedly, Terran is the toughest race to play.

I've yet to play one that can. Zealots are more then match for Marines, and if you put them in a bunker I'll just walk around it. After that it's a pretty simple matter.

Quite honestly it doesn't sound like you been on Batte.net a lot back in the days. None of the Protoss expert on there ever boast about a zealot rush.

By the time you get one zealot out, a terrain will get one marine out. By the time this lone protoss will get into the terrain's base he'll have 2 or 3 marines. An expert terran player knows how to maneur 2 marines to kill one zealot. Marines walk faster than zealots early on. Even if he has one marine. He'll take that one marine and put it in the midst of his SCV miners and have the miners attack your zealot while marine is firing at the zealot.

Keep in mind that resource wise it costs 50 gold for marine and 100 for zealot. So if you go to the race on ground warfare strictly using zealots, you're going to lose especially if he'll get a few firebats in there.

I'm speaking from experience here. I use to be really good at pumping out zealots like mad. Zealot rush does not work on expert terran players.

Great! I love to see a match between you and irishScott. Fenixgoon will play terran and irishScott will play Protoss. I'd like to see this so called zealot rush work even on a non-expert.

Any terran who buildsvery many marines when protoss is going zealots is retarded to begin with. Any good terran will counter a zealot rush by rushing factory and turning out a few vultures, vultures>zealots, spidermines>>>>zealots. Zealots take so long to build and you would be surprised just how little time it takes a half decent terran to build two factories and start turning out lots of vultures.

edit: SC2 looks sweet. I may have to build a desktop just to play it.

Your zealots can fly? what about choke points blocked off by bunkers and supply debots?
