edit: Nevermind, I just tried the 7:00 othello ones I made with lings instead of probes/DTs. Too many holes, lol.

Also I tried out some new combos at 1:00, and I kinda like this one:

Neither cannon is exposed, both cover both forge and gateway, one covers the min line in case of a successful run through, and it can be blocked with 3 probes.

the neutral building isn't covered. i think at least 6 lings can attack it so it'll die pretty quickly and you'll have a huge gap

maybe you could shift the forge and gate one to the left and put the cannon in the corner between the two, although this would sacrifice coverage of your min line, it should cover both the other cannon and the neutral while allowing units to move thru later game.

I don't think the gateway can be moved left from its spot. Its impassable when its to the right of the neutral, I think its passable neutral over gate.

Are you guys trying those ones out with lings? Or are you just posting what you think might work? Gate on the site of an assimilator looks very passable to me, but of course, looks can decieve. So are they verified or not?

Anyway, Vampire is a bad map for walls because of the extremely large choke. You'd probably be best off trying to block the nat/main choke with a probe maynard if he tries to run through.

the gateway/assim gap is passable in the 4 o'clock pic but not the other one, but even with it being passable any lings trying to squeeze in there at that spot are gonna get pounded by the cannons, they'd have to go single file and the gap is covered by both cannons

edit: i only tested w/ probes, not lings

Check this out for blue storm: You can block completely with 5 probes if placed correctly..

I think the standard wallins are much better than that. There's a gaping hole asking Zerglings to run through.

You sure??
Cause I'm pretty sure lings cant get through and since you never omit to mention Mondragon's run bys i think an air tight wallin is not useless at all

Please correct me if im wrong but how do you block with the setup in the op?

The old standard wall-ins don't work on Blue Storm 1.2 though.

Despite all that, your wall-ins are very bad not only because it takes quite a few probes to block (so they're definitely not airtight) but because the cannons are exposed, so even if the run-by problem is eliminated (and it's not) your opponent could just target the cannons and then you'd be in a heap of trouble.

The old wall-ins were really good because of how well everything fit together (Chill's recent chat with 50Cal.Stalife on that replay project explains it). Mondragon's run-by was super strong because it came right as the final piece of the wall-in was put down, the cybernetics core.
Super serious.

I came up with these for Blue Storm 1.2. They are probably bad, so I am accepting criticisms.

That's the standard way to wall in, those forge-gateway-cannon formations.

I don't see how the 1.2 version changes things. Maybe I didn't pay attention, but I didn't see progamers change their wall ins afaik. Maybe the second cannon though.

For the screenshots in the OP for blue storm there is more room between the nexus and the gate/forge. That's really the only difference. I think I like mine more than the ones geno posted a page back.

Although I tested them out with some actual lings and I would need a minimum of 5 probes to completely seal everything off if I had to.

KrinkleStyle, your cannons block the path of workers gathering gas. I finally took the time to post up the wall-ins that I use for Blue Storm. I saw NonY use the one for 1 o'clock in the TSL, and I based my 7 o'clock wall-in off that one.

Move the pylon to the right of the cannon so it helps block the choke a little. Also you can move the entire gate/forge thing down 1 matrix so there is more room above it for adding defences vs a hydra break.
