Every now and then one of these catches me by surprise.

In my ZvP I usually send a scout out around 13. I feel like it's not always in time to see the absence of any structures in their base. I find it really tough to hold off with lings and crawlers.

Sometimes when I go back and check the replay there is no point where his probe enters my screen. Do any of you Zergies out here scout the insides of your base with any regularity?

I guess you also need to keep note of if a probe has entered your base and if you do see one ask yourself if you saw it come directly from your ramp ^^ (mainly applies to 2 player maps)

Which map does this occur with often?
Also, it's fairly easy to defend, assuming he doesn't completely seal off his pylon. You can actually pull drones/lings to snipe one of the gates ways, and everything else should be dandy. Also note that if you do defend, it's basically a win for your pocket.
if happy ever afters did exist <3 @watamizu_

I got in base proxied today, man was i pissed off.... I took my eyes off the minimap for maybe 2 secs and his probe walked thru my vision un noticed..... got to his base with my scout and saw nothing there..... By the time I found the probe I had a proxy gate and a forge almost done and the pylon was dropped outside my main on the low ground meaning no way to get it down with probes.....

I always build a depot by my ramp just so i can catch the probe coming in, one time I don't see it coming up the ramp... proxied!
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

I think last time I remember it was done on metalopolis. The pylon was mostly sealed in I think. Usually by the time my scouting drone gets into the opponent's base his gates are done and maybe a zealot too.
