Do you realize how early you'd have to send 2 drones? On a small map like Xel'Naga, if you scout with 9, they'd already have their gas down. That means you'd have to send your 7 and 8 drones. You might as well 6 pool.

Exactly, which is why I don't do either. Granted, there are some maps in which the evo chamber can royally mess up the drone's pathing. Generally though, I just don't find it especially useful to do either. When you are at close positions on LT, though, a double gas steal for lulz can be pretty entertaining

I would place my evo chamber where a person would usually place their spawning pool (behind the mineral line I presume)
So it forces them to place it at the front of their Hatchery so if you tech up to banelings you can usually suicide 10 banelings + attack the spawning pool to stop unit production.
While his pool down you can heavily harass him and it's pretty much GG.

you know some people do this intentionally? especially in the diamond level games if you watch zvz replays on youtube. About 1/3rd will drop their pool behind minerals to protect it from getting destroyed, 1/3rd will enclose their mineral line to help fight against ling rushes, and 1/3rd like dimaga don't give a crap where their pool is and drop it out in the open cuz you ain't getting up their ramp anyway : P.

seems like a lot of people don't know what this is about.

I'd be really interested to see the evo chamber along with a gas steal. I know that is a lot of minerals/drones to commit, but you could literally hold them to straight slow lings for quite a bit. Transition to banelings while he is behind on gas and you should be in a good place.

Theorycrafting from a protoss player of course though, so it is probably a bad idea
