Terran vs Protoss Zealot Rush Defense – Starcraft 2 Strategy

If you are being proxy rushed or Zealot rushed by Protoss, it can be a very frustrating strategy to lose to. Once you find out it’s happening you should change up your gameplay a bit so you can defend effectively.

Since Marines get killed by Zealots so fast, you’re going to need a lot of them and you’ll need protection for them. Alter your Terran build order to make 2 Barracks and 2 Bunkers inside your base to protect your Marines. Place the Bunkers strategically so they can help each other out and reach around as much of your base as possible (especially to protect your SCVs)

The best Zealot rush counter is to find out when it’s happening to you, then preparing by not going up the tech tree, but instead just making a lot of Marines. As the game goes on, add some Marauders to your group to make a counter attack and take out Stalkers.
