Not really anything new, but only viable on rare occasions in my opinion. Not even something I would use as a High Masters toss in a Bo7

I've played with this exact opening in Beta a lot and maybe early season 1, and follow this up with proxy stargate right by their ramp for lols, or an expo. It can work, but against good players you'll get punished for it... for me at least the higher I ranked up, the worse it worked, especially this people who saw this before
But seems like it worked for you vs rly good players, maybe it was my execution that was lacking

Your thread could do with many more details and much less bm.

Frankly, I am disappointed to see you post this build on TL. Here on TL, we learn to be better gamers. Not take wins that require little to no skill.

dis build is da bomb. I was silver nub but now am master pro. Thank u incarnite

Seriously though, I think that the threat of this kind of stuff is important because you can force early scouting and such and gain some small amount of advantage that way.

I like forcing things. I loved that protoss used to have to (may still do really) rush to stalker so that they can stop potential reaper in TvP.

Do you really think it would work more than once against the same person?

Do you think 6 pool would work more than once against someone? probably not but u put that fear into someone and can easily take a game off someone in a bo3

some ppl still dont understand that in a BoX (hell even on ladder) its "all about" changing your game style. to throw your opponent off or to have god damn fun. being a better gamer also includes understanding the metagame.

How do you define what being a better gamer is? All this build is doing is introducing a fresh style of play which will most likely become obsolete in 2 weeks tops. However this adds to a gamers repertoire of builds & could help him greatly in a future series. In a way, it IS teaching him to be a better gamer. Just because this doesn't require much effort to perform doesn't mean you aren't learning anything/getting productivity from it.

Clearly a troll post. Your guide is basically "wall his ramp with a pylon and forge", and literally nothing else; no techniques, pictures to explain placement, etc....and then you name the build after yourself even though it's been done since day 1 of the beta. Wtf?

ultimately.. its a build, its not a very good build but its useful none the less. And the reason i say its not a very good build is because while your perfecting your cannon cheeses other people will actually be getting good at playing the game.

It should be used purely in a series of games to throw off your opponent, but it would be incredibly dumb to base your entire foundation in pvz around a quirky cheesy build.

As a constructive criticism, it would be fantastic if you could add the following:


1. Actual list of transitions with replays
2. Discussion on what to do when the Zerg scouts you
3. Branching mid-game tree -- what strategies have you really blocked, what ones are still in play?
4. Discussion of viability in one-game versus BoX series


While this is by no means exhaustive, your so-called guide is almost useless without some of these things.

From a less-constructive standpoint, any strategy that involves "mind games" is probably not viable on a large scale. So when people are saying that this is not a technique to be a better gamer, they simply mean that mind games are not a viable long-term strategy. You shouldn't need to hide things, to tilt your opponent, to avoid scouting, etc etc. That's not what a "better gamer" does.
