While mucking about in bronze league after stat resets I like to try winning by building nothing but probes and cannons. I'll of course get the armour and shield upgrades for my probes. Anyway, the bronze leaguers are so pacifist at the start, and bad at everything else, too, that it's almost possible to win by doing this. Cannons can defend well enough and two hundred 0/3/3 probes can function as a decent field army against,like, 10 marines and a medivac (or whatever bronze leaguers muster). But a problem arises when going in for the kill, which is that it's basically impossible to get probes up the enemy ramp. You have to rely on surrounds to kill anything off, even with vastly superior forces and upgrades, so being forced into the narrow confines of a choke is an assured failure. That is why I can only almost win, but not quite.
Using zealots instead of probes is noob shit. decline of bronze league.
Allow yourself to build warp prisms as well so you can cannon offensively.
