What is your opinion on making a full wall vs ling all-ins compared to just blocking with 1 zealot in top right/ bottom left spawns? Do good players ever do this?

minus)eagle used to do double forge blocks a lot back when he streamed/played and would spawn at top right or bott left to hold off random allins (like drone rushes) when he 11nex'd or to get free wins vs 5pool.

+1 for harem,but ideally u dont want the forge to finish just prevent some all in,im always for make the oponent overextend and leaving thinking for (i can do damage) but in reality he cant,this 1 unit wall is very strong,if u smell all in just make 2 canons,atleast vs lings will be hard to die.

I'm also working on improving the liquipedia articles (Starting with ZvZ). I'm currently doing the 12 pool one but I do not feel knowledgeable enough to talk about the situation of 12 pool vs Overgas and 9/10 hatch.

If anyone also has some vods or replays, feel free to add them.

My changes still need to be approved, so you won't see them at the moment.

I just want to highlight this post. Liquipedia Strategy wasn't updated for Zerg very much, mostly due to me not finding much Zerg players to read over articles. If you want to share, Liquipedia is a great place to start. You can easily add your clips there as well, if you need help with the code, bump me. It won't take longer than a few seconds for just linking your YouTube clips there.

Same goes for builds, if you have some, just paste them and we can add those.

I made my own video to contribute on scouting patterns in zvp:

Comment I left on the video:

"Hey ty2 some thoughts during the video.
Nice of you to make the video in the first place.
It's a pretty long video for the amount of information it contains. I realize it is due to filming it "on the go". But maybe the players that will benefit the most from this information won't dedicate 43 minutes to watching a video about it.
Also, I think it's important to not assign too much value to the possible implications of the timing of probe scouts
For example:
- What about the situation when protoss scouts with a 2nd probe when he doesn't find you on first try? I think that's pretty common (I see now that you very briefly mention it near the end).
- What about scouting after forge instead of after the first pylon?
- How far into the main does the protoss scout? Seems like your friend is going quite deep into the main, which is not necessary for the 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions. As soon as you are at the top of the ramp you will be able to tell if there's creep or not."

I disagree with there being no benefit between scouting the two adjacent bases for Protoss. If you check for the scouting overlord at the 2nd natural of the counter-clockwise base (i.e. 3,6,9, or 12) you can save the 2nd probe scout. If you're zerg and you see a probe at your natural third, you know their spawning position (there might be some slight difference in timing for this scouting pattern with 1 gate FE vs FFE vs 2 gate as well).
Edit- Great video btw.

Alright everyone, here is my first video and I hope it helps someone out there or that people find it interesting. Sorry in advance for the audio but my headset broke so I had to rig my earbuds into a microphone. If people find it interesting and they learn something then I will certainly post some more stuff! Thanks EonZerg for starting this thread.

Enjoy~
