I must confess that roughly 70% of all my losses against zerg are due to bad wall offs, and any information I can get about how to do it better is quite valuable to me.

To check your wall, attempt to run a probe through. If it can make it through, your wall is not functional, and you need to build something to fill up the hole.

Glad to see that you're implementing IMYongHwa's wall-in on the new maps

. Perhaps I'll update my original thread with some examples of the wall-in for the rest of the new maps. If I do would you mind if I stole your examples?

Thank you this saves me so much time of going in custom and climb this myself. Caused a loss cuz I walled myself in vs zerg earlier and then couldn't expo right time and keep a wall properly from run bys. I was so surprised when I saw that I walled myself in lol its a dif ramp than normal after all

I didnt play this map for a while, till it jumped up and slapped me in the face today - when did this change go down? and is it now completely necessary to downvote this map? :|

I feel required to downvote delta, and now this is another required downvote as protoss?

Only leaves me with 1 playstyle/preference veto

(I choose scrap)

I like walling in the BOTTOM of the ramp better. You close one of the paths to your natural as well by doing this.

Thank you OP for this. I have been dying to Zergs on this map quite a lot due to inappropriate walling. For those in the same predicament as me and that are curious: This wall off does indeed still work after patch 1.3.3 and the pylon radius change.

Thanks again! Great small guide to the proper wall offs on every position on this map :3

Gl and Hf!

I do a funky wall in thats pushed back a little. Not sure if its totally zergling tight, maybe 2 lings can hit it but cant squeeze through in the wall in I do. Also, are you sure only 1 ling at a time can attack the zealot in this one? I feel 2 or 3 lings can hit the zealot at the same time, making a speedling all in or quick pool very effective.

Umm.. 99% positive most of those are incomplete wall-offs. Look how much room there is around the zealots! Can't zerglings fit through there?

EDIT: Oh, nevermind. Didn't notice how old the thread was.. Pretty sure people have figured this out by now. ^_^

Good, I couldn't figure out how to wall in on this map worth shit. And I love this map (I'm crazy, I know).

Forge + pylon = Walled off one of the splits. Preferably the one closer to your ramp to make runbys harder.

Problem Solved.

Here's how i wall off: http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/2716/screenshot2011032322415.jpg
You can do that in every spawn position

Ahhh though that is more vulnerable to Baneling busts, 6 pools should instantly fail with that 2-building wall in. Good find for both the OP and yourself.
