Protoss · PvZ · Economic

Source →

The most standard PvZ macro opener. Opens Gate-Nexus-Cybercore into Stargate producing an Oracle for harassment and scouting, followed by Phoenix for Overlord hunting. Transitions into Twilight Council + Robo for Chargelot/Archon/Immortal composition with Storm. The Oracle provides crucial scouting information about Zerg's tech path.
