I know where you got that build from ^^
And btw I'm pretty sure it's possible to do it if they're at the bottom position too.

I got it from a random Iccup player O_o I believe it was a coincidence that this happened methinks O_O O_o O_o

Are you 404.Evan? Because if you are I watched my friend do that to you earlier today ^^
And if you're not then you either got the build from him or someone he did it too.

LOL Yes I am. haha I was like roflsup when he did that to me, it was so so wierd. I think this DOES have potential to be a good suprise strategy
|
I was laughing so hard when I saw it lol
|
LOL.
I wanna see it get done in proleague.

You almost lost vs a D- protoss. Well done brag blog.

the building placement and the strategy is what's cool. I think that if you wanted it to be good, you need to 9/9 into 1 zeal+second pylon+ maybe third pylon to make sure you can power the gates. It wouldn't work against a better player though, as they would 9/9 as well, and then as soon as they figured out that they couldn't get in, they would counter with all their probes+ zeals, possibly if they're good with a probe drill.

lol such a sexy cheese XD
|
I think I can put 2 gateways down, then stop probe production and then I can get enough money and stuff to build a second pylon to power both gateways after first two zealots start producting. Also ya its the strategy that is the shit. It just took a long long long time to learn how to use this and it was easier to do it at D level because its like playing against a computer except the computer is sort of a nooby human

I'll spoil it for you. The correct way to do this is to send one of the starting probes out from the bottom. Place your first pylon 1 pylon size below directly to the left of his gas. Then make a gateway on 10 above the minerals, walling with them so the right side of the gateway is in line with the left side of the pylon. That'll wall above the gas so you can only get in from the right hand side. Make a zealot asap. Then run the probe in and put down the forge above the gas, walling it in completely. There should be three pylon sized gaps within this area. One to the right of the gateway, one between that and the pylon, one between that and the forge. Your gateway should be building a zealot which you will use to harass their mineral line and draw attention. As soon as you can place another pylon above the first one because they will often attack the first to get in and if they drill probes well they can get through one, but not two. Your probe should be kept on the top left corner of the gas so it can build at all three places without moving, if you move it carelessly you can get it trapped. Moment the forge is done place a cannon, if he's trying to break through the forge place it to the right of the gateway then the moment the forge dies build a new one two spaces to the left of the original with the probe. If he tries to break through the pylon then build the cannon to the left of the forge and build a pylon to the left of the cannon, walling it in and providing backup power. You can also replace the pylon to the left of the gas as he kills it if you're fast enough which is highly annoying.
That should give you instant wins up to B or so. Works for me when I get bored. If he counter attacks either cannon yourself or save up 400 then go allin and take his base. His nexus is within cannon range and he's gonna lose his gates and pylons whereas all yours are in his base, you're still ahead.

Can you provide a replay? tbh I just watched the replay and visually memorised the buildling placement

I still can't believe you are 404.Evan

Whats wrong with that?

I'm thinking that if he pulled all his probes+zealots to your base, you could immediately add forge while bringing all your zealots (except the trapped one). It'd end up being like your 1/3 zealots + warping cannons + probes vs his 3/5 zealots + probes.

A screenshot would help out out a lot
