A quick tl search reveals it to be a proxy gate built off a manner pylon (Bisu on peaks style) as opposed to a hidden proxy gate. Someone made up the term about 3 days ago I think. Looks like it'll stick though. | ||

IDK why people call it a horror gate now T_T http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=43233#12 Earliest mention of it. also Horror gate is just a badass name. 'In base proxy' is when it isnt in plain sight, depends on surprise. Horror gate is like ROFL SUP CANT TOUCH THIS where the users intent is to horrify the victim with a show of superior micro | ||

If you're defending it, the problem is that not only do you have decreased mining rate, making it so that your economies are just about even (or maybe yours is even worse), but the opponent will usually proxy 9/9 behind your minerals, making his 2 gate pretty much as fast as possible. If you attempt to build more probes to catch up, then you get the problem that pokju had - bisu had more zeals inside his base. Still not sure what the counter is. iirc, chill was defending going forge first at one point, but I'm not sure if he still holds the same position today. | ||

I don't remember the first VOD i watched where it was called that, but this was like 4-5 months ago. | ||
