When I play a 1v1 match against Zerg as Protoss, I'm happy. So far (in about 5 matches), I found the following strategy undefeatable:

  1. Quickly build a Forge (before Gateway), then 2-3 canonscannons at your doorstep. If you have a Natural Expansions that is defendable, build the canonscannons there instead of the main base, and secure your natural.
  2. Gas up, build more canonscannons, expand to natural if it's defendable
  3. By this time, the Zerg player will have given hope on ground assultassault. 5 canonscannons are pretty much impassable... the Zerg will go for Mutalisks/Corruptors
  4. Mass up on PheonixesPhoenixes - build 2-3 Stargates and pump PheonixesPhoenixes using Chrono boost. You will encounter some Muta resistenceresistance, but you can build PheonixesPhoenixes faster than he can build mutasMutas.
  5. By the time you have control of the skies, build Voidrays and gg

What is its weak point? How can I defend against it playing Zerg? Nydus/Overlord transport ?
