On maps where nex first builds are bad pvp, like the standard 4v4 LT style maps (luna for example) I don't see the benefit from it. It should be easy to 3 gate goon an early expo on a map like that.
I was thinking more along the lines of a map with bigger walking distance.
EDIT:
I heard that Reach 12 nexed on RH3 against Leg in a recent league. I forget what it was and which thread I read it in, but I never saw the game. Anyone know anything about it? It might be interesting to talk about the game, maybe watch the rep if it was released, in the context of this discussion.
It's a bad game, Reach wanted to lose. 2 gate zealot beat him.
Ah, well that's that I guess. Thanks.
I agree with Carnac. Like I said earlier, 3 gate goon works well. Pull probe production and hit him fast.
