5 Zealot Rush
Sent in by Xtreme_Phreak!

OK, here we go. This works. I always seem to catch someone teching and maul his butt. I always go 5 lot when i play and i'm gettin a pretty good rec.

REMEMBER RALLY POINTS FOR YOUR EARLY PROBES!!!

First off, do the usual. Mine minerals. 7th probe goes for Pylon (don't queue up more than 1 probe so that you can get it in time) then goes for minerals. It should end up just right so that you have 50 mins again when 8th probe pops out. Send 8th probe to minerals and queue up a 9th (not a 10th). When the 9th comes out send him to the pylon to build a gateway. this should work perfectly. U will have 150 mins when the pylon warps in. Create the gateway and send him to mineras and warp some more probes. 11th (or 12th, I forget) get another pylon. Use that probe to scout and remember to make a replacement. Warp a Zealot. Get more probes and another zealot and another Gateway. It will work out trust me. Get your 3rd pylon ASAP without sacrificing zealot making. Keep the Z lts coming from the 1st gate (remember not to queue for that 1 or 2 so u dont tie up your minerals on units that arent being built) 2nd gate should come on line when 3rd (sometimes 4th) Z lot comes out. get zealots from that one, too. As soon as u have that magic number of 5, attack. Unless your 6th is like 3 bars away, then wait a sec. Then GOGOGO! As soon as your zealots are en route, get forge, 3 probes, and an assimilator. Pop up a couple more pylons. Your zealots are now near the base. If its a terran and he is (like most terrans) building a wall with 1 or 2 bunks behind, RUN! RUN YOUR PSIONIC BUTTS OFF! run them PAST the bunkers and onto the scv's and cc. Unfortunately, some terrans are smart and have bunks by the cc and repair it. You should have scouted extensively enough to figure that out, so its not my fault. This should be fast enuff to prevent mass sunkening or cannons. Now, back at your base (yes, multitasking) Get 2nd assimilator and 2nd or 3nd & 3rd forge (depending on what u want) and 3 probes for 2nd gas. You should be upgrading ground attack. Get cy core when u get 2nd forge to get drags and to tech. I like to get temp archive for more upgrades. Get it quickly so u can get 2nd an 3rd on weapons/armor. I also like getting reavers on line for a drop on an unwary opponent. They may not realize that you have been teching, too. They may believe that you are not going to attack again for some time. Or, they may turtle. In that case, get Corsairs for web and psi strom or reaver em to death.

Thank you for reading my game plan. This works. I've gotten a winstreak of 12 (broken in the middle by a backstab) using this.

CreepColony's Opinion: This can be a good strategy, but keep some zealots in your base in case your attack fails.
