It can be a real challenge to win a Zerg vs Protoss game due to the Protoss’ ability to make the perfect counter units for anything we can throw at them. If we make zerglings they make zealots and colossi. If we make cockroaches, they make the perfect counter that is immortal. If we make hydralisks, they make stalkers and colossi. Whatever we do, they have the perfect counter at their fingertips. So how do we win against the protoss? We will win simply by beating them in production and collection. This guide will show you how to beat a good Protoss player using a hunger strategy.
The key to this is to expand early and prevent the Protoss player from expanding. Start the game and make some zerglings to harass the Protoss player and keep them busy so they can’t spread out. Instead of upgrading to air, use the minerals to expand. By delaying the air upgrade, you won’t be able to defend against an air attack, so be sure to check the Protoss base to see if it’s airdropping. After the expansion is up and running, switch to hydralisks and build an army. I would also build some corruptors as they are very good against juggernauts and void bolts. Stop the Protoss player from expanding and wait for him to come out, don’t attack his main base. After a while he will run out of minerals and will have no choice but to attack you. You shouldn’t have a problem beating him at this point because you’re running with two bases while he only has one.
