It works if you get lucky, and the other guy doesn't go for an early aggression build. I generally go this BO. 9 Pylon 14 Nexus 16 gate 18 single/double cannon 19 Core Continue to mass gates/tech. Ad lib as you need to survive. You will be cutting quite a few probes at the start from the need to get buildings up. It takes a while before you can constantly produce probes from both Nexuses. Once you get past that window where you're vulnerable, though, you are in a very good position (obviously) | ||

How do you scout the zerg tho, after you wall in? For the 10/Nexus, 11/Forge FE, I don't get my first pylon until after the nexus. I send a scout either directly after I plant the Nexus, or after I plant the first pylon. Given the fact that many toss wait to scout until after gate (as in 9/pylon, 12/gate), it is not too late to still scout speedlings. My challenge is to see some replays where you plant the Nexus before your first pylon. Do it up! | ||

Cannon opening: 9 pylon 15 nexus 15 forge -> send probe to scout, send a 2nd probe from main to natural 16 or 17 pylon Cannon when forge is done Gate to create wall with 1 space opening 2nd cannon if needed Zealot when gate is done, plug wall Cynbernetics core as part of wall 23 assimilator 26-27 assimilator 3rd cannon if needed Zergs might double expand or mutaling in response. Then you can use this transition: Start chronoing warpgate research when core is done Use probe to check for zerg 3rd base, check for unit composition afterwards Also start +1 weapons 36 add some gates 40 add gates until 6 gates Gates finished: turn all into warpgates, spend all gas on sentries and make zealots Push out at 9 minutes with gateway units as +1 finishes, chrono gates Get +2 and templar tech, research blink or charge, make robo just in case If they go fast roach into hydra instead, you should forget about the +1 zealot push and turtle behind cannons instead while waiting for robotics. | ||
