I want to offrace a bit and want to practise the first 10 mins of the different BOs, mainly Protoss FE builds.

However the computers want to mess my shit up and I can't play the BO properly because I have to build too much defense.

So what I am asking is if there is any way to disable the AI or play on a blank map.

put on computer at start. as countdown begins, remove computer. when youre inside game itll saw draw, just click on continue and youll be playing with yourself.

Make a map where the computer is trapped. Or just play like you would do. Your BO needs to be safe against most of the shit the computer sends to you (unless like 4 pool or stuff like that).

Thank you very, very much.

This should help with my timing a lot.

Actually it's downright impossible to practise a ZvP BO, because the AI will always do the same retarded 2 gate timing rush if you 12 hatch.

And Terran does some weird 1 base sunk break thing, just before mutas come out. The timing of it is pretty amazing, really...

I did some similar stuff like this and it really helped my BOs a lot.

You're pretty lucky. I Forge first PvZ and the computer 6 pools me, every single time.

Can't you just do cheats on single player like power overwhelming so it doesn't matter what they do?

Just join one of the crappy mass recruit clans on east and practice BO's vs their dumpy clan members. That's what I do =]

Play Monty Hall, although your BO probably doesn't work there.
Closing the slot before the countdown ends is, of course, easier to do
You could also try out BWAI which usually plays pretty standard.

This is the best way to do this.

What i do however is make my opponent Z no matter what BO or MU im practicing. I send a scout to find him and harass his workers. This will make all his drones attack your scout. I take this opportunity to practice my multitasking while following my normal BO.

This will do 2 things:
-stall your opponents attack (computer Z attacks are weak anyways so dont worry about it even if your scout dies early)
-practice your multitasking while at it

Also if you do this for too long, the computer will "give up" and just mine minerals without building anything for the rest of the game. (im not 100% sure about this)

I'm not sure if you can do this with Z though as they don't generally send a drone to scout all the time...

Practice your scouting by sending a unit over and just keep on tieing up his workers good work out lol.
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

you could make a map where you give the computer no scv to start out with and only give him a factory
