2 Gate Zealot

PvZ
Protoss

An aggressive PvZ opening with two gateways producing zealots continuously to pressure Zerg before they can establish a third base. The goal is not necessarily to kill the opponent but to force zerglings to stay home defending, delaying Zerg's drone production and expansion timing.

Execute by rallying zealots directly to Zerg's natural or third base location. Keep producing zealots non-stop from both gateways. Micro zealots to pick off drones whenever possible — even trading zealots for drones is worthwhile. The pressure window is before Zerg has sunken colonies or enough zerglings to overwhelm you.

Best on maps with short rush distances where zealots arrive quickly, like Benzene. Transition into tech once you have dealt economic damage — add a stargate for corsairs or robotics for reavers behind the zealot pressure. Weak if Zerg gets sunken colonies up in time to hold, or on large maps where the travel distance gives Zerg time to prepare defenses and drone freely.
