After 1300 games on ladder i finally decided to rush vs zerg with 10 pylon 10 double gate close to his base (behind the grass on Xel Naga) So my question is is there a better build order for that rush and what is it, and also if zerg goes hatch first is there any way for him to defend that at all ?

what zerg does hatch first in ZvP?

if he scouts early and does not see gateways in your base he will find it behind the grass and then you will have a hard time doing enough damage. If he doesn't scout or scout too late i dont know, i personally didnt lose to a 2gate since ages

Have you looked into 2gate Zealot rushing? It sounds like you're just cutting probes way earlier and proxying it. If I recall correctly, the build order is just a 12/14 gate, cut probes at 18 and pump/chrono zealots til ~28 and rally them at your opponent.

As for defending it, I don't know zerg timings all that well, but if he went pool/hatch, chances are your opponent will get some lings out if he can live long enough. If your push doesn't end the game, you're in trouble.

I've gotten the 12/14 gate or so to work pretty well, on most maps you don't even need to proxy them or cut probes if the zerg goes hatch first and doesn't make enoguh lings.
