I think 9/10 gate is alot more stronger and economically efficient than a risky as hell 6 gate o.O, but hell if you do not believe so, flame me in a constructive manner please

i do this sometimes and turn it into a fast expo build . 6 pylon 6 gate pylon outside of main. do 6 gate probes, zeal when gate finishes 1-2 probes forge 1 cannon. go harras with zeal+scout probe. If i fear z will counter back with many lings i add another cannon or zealot or w/e. This is an effective build tho.

Pool first is gg and 12hatch main or 11 hatch main across the map is gg as well (just like that replay). Rapes the shit out of hatch first expo though, which is the point of doing this build.

I remember there was a rep of Eriador(P) vs MiG.Scout(Z). And Scout won vs 6p7g pretty easily just by making pool first

Sorry to revive a new thread, but I've always sucked pvz, so now I'm doing this on alot of maps, and even against protoss on calm breeze (that didn't work so well...) Here's what I think of it.

On Bladestorm (not really better or worse on this map; it's big, so your zealots have to walk, but it's big, so he's going to open with expo alot)

It's an amazing build. From the guide, I'm not sure how many probes he suggests rushing, but I usually only do 3 + my scouting one. If he expands... there's no way to stop it. Period. You kill the hatch or he cancels it. If he cancels it he better build a colony otherwise GG. If he builds a colony you relax on his choke, add gas and forge, contain him, and perhaps even start a cannon contain... but not unless he doesn't have a high ling count. If he does, he'll drone drill. So I suggest you contain for as long as possible and cannon your main with two cannons, add cyb, and expand to your mineral only. From there... you've basically won. If your zealots scouted fast lair before you ran back to your base you add stargate for muta protection and scouting. If you see three hatch perhaps a third cannon (when you retreat there's a good chance your lots will be run down so sometimes you'll have to block your choke with probes). Just keep teching and wait to win. Such a great build.

Also if he cancel hatch you could second gate later forge and kill the eventual mineral only expo he'll throw down.

So sweet to have zergs go "is this a joke? 5 gate?"
