I put my spawning pool between gas and minerals, as zergs do, but I had serious pathing issues for the rest of the game. Is this just me? Can you post a screenshot to show exactly where you mean? Do you mean mineral mining issues? gas mining? or sending units out? | ||

 It's usually pretty helpful in ZvZ to block that space, and I've never had this issue before. Oh well | ||

2nd gateway after nex robo ribo obs after shuttle + river You can have anything as 1 goon nex to 3-4 goon nex. I dont write supply as obviously if you see rax expand / siege expand you can skip some goons for faster nex / ribo, or if you see 4++ marine you want to make up to 4 goons asap. | ||

Yes, but timing of 2nd gate and nex you have to base on what you scout, if there are any indication of early aggresion etc. | ||

My inclination would be to say the latter, as im not very familiar with the former. Going 1 base PvZ, you're really crippling yourself. Are you talking about pvp? If you do mean PvZ, you'd really have to have zealots as your main composition with some kind of support (templar, reaver, etc.) if you're 1 basing it, just because of gas restraints. Without a 2 gate opening, you're gonna have to make each zealot count (& be kinda lucky) if you try to apply pressure. I'm not gonna say 1 base PvZ is terrible or impossible, but it puts a lot more of the work on you than on your opponent. There are easier options for having a map presence/threat in the early/mid game as a 2 base P. | ||
