Incoming flux of CR in the ladder for the next week
"And when he came back to, he was flat on his back on the beach in the freezing sand, and it was raining out of a low sky, and the tide was way out." From birth to death, no time to rest, no time to waste.

I would like to add "Slade" from the NA server to the list of people trying to do this, failing horribly and then immediately leaving + ignoring you LOL.

Also, Hot_Bid, if you could port this strategy to SC2, it would be awesome :D

that is just seriously stupid... because an expansion cost 400 for toss and terran, 300 for zerg IF IT'S FINISHED if not you just lose a small amount of minerals... but you spend 750 minerals for that cheese... the result just dont worth the cost of that... because you are just far behind after that

The whole purpose of this build is to win outright or force them to lose most of their Probes/SCVs and have to relocate their Command Center.

You build your forge at 12. A Protoss will need to scout your Forge and kill your "scouting" Probe before you are able to wall it off and begin the cannons. If he is unable to do this the game is over, unless you are unable to build a few Zealots in a reasonable amount of time. Warpgate won't even be started at this point, and even it were possible to get a Stalker out it wouldn't matter.
Putting the sensual into non-consensual.

All hail the Hot_Bid, read BOSS, CR!! It seems in your OP you mainly do this in 3v3 and 4v4. Do you use the exact same method if you are 1v1?

Yea for 1v1 players it is a cheese that every terran and protoss player should prepare for on xnc by not leaving a probe alone in the corner.

You need to put [G] for guide. Rules should apply for all be them mod, admins or just plain memebers.

haha I actually do this in Team games with ?/Z vs ?/Z I do the same type of thing with 2 Evo chambers and Spinecrawlers. Its sick because of the Broodlings from the Evol.ution chambers. Its probably not viable in 1v1 because you sac more Econ doing this as Zerg. Very cool guide, Hot Bid, you're a baller.

This cries for testing it on some ladder games. Nice piece of advice. :D
I just love video games, what's your excuse?
