The greatest difference is PvP IMO, because you can't do any 1 base 1 gas build and expanding is super riscy. So you have to attack the Gas asap, but then you can't deny proxy pylons

IDK, why is it better to have a non-mining worker sitting there, when you could just take the gas yourself?

Hmm, as I think about it though, that'd only really work for toss, as t/z have to occupy the worker making the extractor/refinery anyways...

according to the mlg report article, you can still build it if you move out of sight of the geyser

good to know

I would still prefer to prevent them taking it even though I don't use my second gas for ages.

I like to get 2 marines, then reactor for factory and those 2 marines don't have the DPS to take down the extractor. So it leaves them the opportunity to keep cancelling/rebuilding until they scoot of for a secondary scout. If I can prevent that and kill the drone with those marines, that would be much better.

Because you will have to use marines for about 30 seconds to break those extractors, which stops some of the early bunker pressure. Stoping 1 base banshees is only a nice plus

I haven't seen many people doing this, but people need to start doing this! I made an Instruction Video!
