It seems like a free win to me if you opened speedling expand but no one does it so i must be missing something It's not a free when but it can get you ahead...but definetly NOT a free win. It is easily stopped however by a few zealots since zlots>lings ofc. Also fast lair like that is uncommon vs forge FE as it'll set you far behind if it does no damage. Usually getting a 3rd is safest. But taking risks=high reward | ||

For example forge at 17 if they scout zerg first and gas before pool opening. Cannon before gate if close position and early pool, etc... Good compilation, definitely usefull for everyone who wishes to study this PvZ style. | ||

If anything 6-pool on tal'darim is a counter to FFE | ||

No it's not. 6pool is a counter to forge FE. You really can't get your wall off before the 6 lings come because you're not walling at your main ramp but at your nat expo. And even if you could wall, your buildings would fall because your cannon is going to take too long. What I've seen most people do (eg. Kiwikaki vs Moman on Terminus in the NASL Playoffs Game 1) is build a pylon in-base and a cannon in mineral line, sac the Forge and first pylon and just play from a disadvantage. | ||

if you want to play safe the forge -> nexus if you are going to scout him last positions then you may want to start a pylon in your main just in case if he is 6 pooling so forge->pylon->nexus and thats it | ||

It would be interesting to know why each player did what they did. Obviously some of them are just done blindly, but i wonder upon scouting what did they see that dictated their build | ||

Its not from disadvantage at all. You will have way more probes because the lings couldn't do enough damage thanks to that cannon fighting with your probes. They have no queen and six drones, there is no way they can outproduce you while you decide to build stuff and keep a probe advantage. | ||
