There's a reason Pro-maps have that supply depot there to prevent those sort of things. lol .. no. Watch a stream once in a while. | ||

Maybe someone was completely wrong...can anyone confirm this? I never tried to do it after I heard that, maybe I should look at it again. | ||

I know for a fact that there is atleast one spot on shakuras that drone drill doesnt work with any of the minerals from your natural. You can click on the far away ones that do work at another natural if you have vision, but this is even harder to time, and usually toss will have cannon finished by then. | ||

Alternately, you can take your 3rd base as a natural and use a couple of roaches to break the contain, although I've found that this throws me off my rhythm and I usually respond to cheese with more cheese. | ||

E: Drone drill is good, but you lose much more than protoss... if you put 1 drone on a probe and have OL watching nat its the best way and minimal eco loss. | ||

No, the drones are too strong together with reinforcing lings from the main, at the very worst you should lose about 2 or 3 drones. It's all about reaction time and execution from the zerg | ||

It's all about reaction time and execution from the zerg I think you guys need to play a game to see what's up. I'm pretty sure Lobber is right here, even if you drone drill through a pylon, you'll be faced with a constructing Gateway next, and if there is more than one Cannon going down, you're in a lot of trouble. | ||

Lobber is right, I just cannon rushed like 6 Zerg's in a row and they all tried to drone drill the pylon, and I just built more cannons / pylons to block it again then cannon finished and they left the game. -.-;; .... Poor Zerg's T_T | ||

It's not even well executed, if executed perfectly you shouldn't have any issues at all, and trust me, even gateways go down super quickly if drilled properly. Sure, some walls are more difficult to break than others, but as long as you can drill you will always have a free path. By the time the protoss accumulates enough resources to create a threatening wall, you will also have a higher drone count and a spawning pool ready to defend with. Of course it all depends on the map and the wall type, but I think it's only a matter of practice, targeting and rhythm. All zergs should learn drone drilling with remote camera because it's not only about the pylon block, it's also a needed skill against double bunker contains. | ||
