Terran counter mass zealots early game?

I played a game today with a protoss player. I am a terran player and i have watched a lot of pro replays and i know how to kite. but this protoss play went mass zealots and got a really fast charge. I had MM and i was moving out of my base when suddenly like 20 zealots came out and surrounded me. i tried kiting but they just caught up. it turns out they were waiting for me. I know staying in my wall could work but i still need map control and i also need to expand. so anyone know how to defend against mass charge lots?

 

Next time try hellions. Although I haven't seen them used much against anything but workers, their speed, splash and bonus against light should deal with mass zealots nicely. Maybe you shouldn't commit to them as much as to research the pre-igniters, but building 4-6 of them should be enough. But I don't play either of the races so others would probably have better advice.

 

reapers!!!!! they own just like the hellions xD and if he gets stalkers just pump marauders :3

Stalkers eat Reapers D:

 

How much time into the game did this happen? Beacuse 20 zealots are a lot, and you should send scouts from time to time to keep an eye on your opponent.

 

i am a little exagerating but it was around 10

 

lots of options man...

banshee's work great.
Get a ghost & EMP those shields.

Knowing where your opponents army is could be key. Sometimes I'll set up a siege tank trap, attack his army
& run back behind the tanks, before he even gets to you he will get pounded good

 

If you post replay it would help

 

Wall in, Siege behind wall, few banshees, ect.
