I created this slideshow because I accidentally trapped myself in my main the last time I was Protoss on this map (I play Random, by the way), and I'd rather spare my fellow players the pain of such a blunder. A picture is worth a thousand words, and here it is: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/xikds.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Rg91Q.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/k5VDu.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/QURV4.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Yhk6U.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/1QC3u.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/YSI4e.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Cb7Je.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/BWh4G.jpg) | ||

This topic is like useless. IMO you should wall-in with pylon and gateway. If baneling bust comes you need forcefields anyway and at least its zergling tight. | ||

I would rather have baneling weak wall-of which is zergling proof then the other way. The only real weakness of this is early lings attacking, forcing you to pull probe to block choke and move zealot to clear lings. Still better then not tight wall. | ||

A pylon gateway wouldn't fit though if that picture looks right. You'll still need something else. Also, the pylon gateway is still vulnerable to zerglings because a) he'll harass your pylon and b) if you try to come out of probes, you'll get right into a sexy choke for zerglings to rip you apart. If you try to mineral walk, he can simply step back and repeat. | ||

I dont understand your point b) Here's how i wall off: http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/2716/screenshot2011032322415.jpg You can do that in every spawn position | ||

If baneling bust comes you need forcefields anyway and at least its zergling tight. You guys should try these for yourselves instead of spreading misinformation. I did test them, and nothing could get through other than mineral-walking workers. It's a bit tricky setting up the zealot in the first three starting positions because there's only one square that they can block everything. Basically, to figure out where to place the zealot, use a probe set to build a pylon to see the building grid. There should be exactly one square that turns up green between edge of the cliff and the edge of the gateway, and you have to place your zealot exactly in the middle of that square to block everything. | ||

The difference is 600 to 650 HP depending on your building placement. | ||

Yeah, u need to put your zealot perfectly if you want to cover that choke. And you cant check if its tight with probe cause probe model is bigger then zergling. You need to be very precise to pull it off every time perfectly. Also i dont like if there's space above the ramp. It makes me feel weird. BTW did they fix the bug when you could move zealot with lings by spamming hold position on zerglings? edit: White-ra also wallins with pylon+gate on this map. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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) | ||

Good find for both the OP and yourself. | ||
