Because it allows you to do these critical things in the early game: 1) Forcing him to cut probes to match your gateway/zealot count 2) Getting in his base to scout what he's doing if he one gate teched 3) Fending off any aggressive or proxy zealot builds 4) Afflicting economical damage. If you're not going to do the build properly. dont comment that it doesn't work. no, because he did 2 gate goon before zealot, nOoNe did this vs Sayle (even as a blind counter) and won all matches or 90% matches if I remember, I have the replays. | ||

Robo counter: If you want to do 1gate robo, you need to non stop pump zealots until the robo is done (put 2 probe behind your zealot wall) you should have 4zlots and 5th coming when they do their 5 zlot push. Other counter: send first zlot to their base to harass (don't lose it, just hit a few probes if you cant kill them), build 2nd gate @ 21 psi (for 2 gate goon) you will have 1zlot+1 goon and 2 more goons coming (they will finish before the 5zots get into your base) when he does his 5 zlot push you can engage @ midfield with your goon, with micro you should be absolutely fine. | ||

You have cannons in time to hold the 10/15 if you drop it straight after the 5th zealot(before gas and core) which is fine. | ||

Noone is B, sayle is C. not really a valid test imo. Because pulling goons back and pressing H takes a lot of philosophy.Anyone above C- should be able to pull it off. If someone knows build order, and knows how to micro goons, should win that. It's hard counter. And this build(12 nex) is not stable. If someone knows how to counter, he'll win. | ||

As a C player, when i play against a legitimate D player, i can goof off to a large extent and still win comfortably. The same logic applies from C to B. When i hit a player 3 ranks above me, i get my shit pushed in, because they're better than me. All the normal rules dont apply. why not? because everything they do is superior. their micro, their multitasking. A B+ ranked player can micro his 2 zealots to kill like 6+ probes while easily expanding and having goon micro to whittle down whatever is left of my zealot push. A C+ ranked player cant do it. Works the same with goon micro. A C+ ranked player is going to have a harder timing organising their goon micro well enough to snipe down cannons, whereas the B+ player will be able to do it much more fluidly. In summary, stop using false/warped information to support your incorrect arguments | ||

I don't care about your goofing around vs D players or how you get owned by A or B+ players. I'm saying that 2 gate goon before zealot kills your 12 nex into 5 zealot 90% of the time done by anyone above or in C-/C range if he has brain and all fingers fine because it's hard counter. Show me a replay how to counter it where you played anyone around C level with 5 zealots before forge or cannon and I'm happy. /edit + In summary, stop using false/warped information to support your incorrect arguments I haven't seen any replay from you since I posted on how to counter anything I said so please, don't call me a liar at least. | ||

http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=42508 ideally i would've liked the opponent to be better. but you set the benchmark not me. note that the time it takes the 5 zealots to die to the goons just gives me enough time to get the cannons up. its tight, but it works. edit on your edit/ I've never played a game against 10/15 into 3 gate into proxy robo, hence i couldn't provide replays to disprove. however the ownus of proof here is on you, not me. there is a well respected member of the community who made a guide, provided replays and good strategic analysis. all you offered was a replay of you fucking the build order up. edit of my edit on your edit/ just to clarify, i AM calling you a liar. I dont want that to be ambiguous. you claimed a build didn't work when you did it wrong. liar. | ||

I meant forge before gas or cybernetics, also since when is noone a B RANKED PROTOSS? 10-15 can easily beat this especially if you dont scout him in time, you will have 3 zlots and his 3 goons will be arriving as your 5th zlots are coming out, if hes aggressive with good micro he will win. However, it's very rare that you will even face off against a 10-15gate goon build anyway. edit: I was just mentioning some counters, no build is 100% win anyway. | ||

Now you're saying C or higher? whats the cutoff here? where are your replays? until you actually do the build right, you're arguing in the wrong thread. Maybe you should make the "how to 12 nex with an early forge after 2 gate" thread and go make your arguments there, because right now you're basically saying you avoid the most important part of the build, infer that it loses with the only proof being a B player vs a C. In that game, i got my forge after gas and pylon IIRC. If i saw a 10/15 now(after how tight that game was) i would've snuck the forge before the gas and pylon. speeding up the cannon timing by about 20 seconds or so, making it alot safer. to draw: for the purposes of building 4 buildings and microing goons, a B ranked zerg equates to B ranked protoss. I'm not saying Noone would be B ranked in the long game, as his late game play probably isn't practiced as much with toss. But i am saying that noone's 10/15 vs 12 nex micro would be comparable to that of any other B ranked protoss. | ||

But i am saying that noone's 10/15 vs 12 nex micro would be comparable to that of any other B ranked protoss. I don't want to diss nOoNe but he is B zerg at best. His 5h before gas is amazing but his protoss ain't. So please stop saying what nOoNe is comparable to b or w/e and concentrate on that his offrace(C/C+ max rank if I'm right) is beating 10/15 this build. | ||

You come to the thread about a specific build. show a replay of you doing i wrong and getting beaten and use that as evidence to disprove it? I have the weight of the OP on my side. the burden of proof is on you. you haven't provided sufficient burden of proof. Please provide such proof. You THINK its working. I haven't seen evidence. I said at the beginning i've never played against that. I CANT provide replays. If you provide a proper replay to disprove it, THEN i'll make the effort to go find a C(not C- anymore apparently) to do some practice with to attempt to disprove you. Until then there is no need. | ||

LOL. i never claimed i'm "so good at this build". I'm self-admittedly terrible. A game between the two of us wouldn't be a fair comparison of the build because your micro/macro would be far superior to mine. One of the things with this build is that if you are playing a far superior player, you lose. badly. Much harder than you'd lose with a "standard" build. however if you're playing someone of equal skill, i find the build to be very effective. I'm not an expert, i'm just an enthusiast. | ||

My 2cents about 12nex is that its not used in the upper levels of BW play for good reason, even between players of "equal skill", simply because no amount of Zealot micro can win vs good Dragoon micro after a certain skill point. | ||
