Imo, this has a lot of potential. Needs to be explored more and understand the ways zerg can counter this in practice and not theory crafting. | ||

But this build looks veryy nice, I always thought about doing one push with bunkers, barracks with siege tanks behind, turrets, and u did. | ||

Or is the wall finished before ling speed is done? And is this faster than 17g speed? Or only faster than gas in response to contain? Looks like good building placement far enough back from the ramp prevents spines from hitting the bunkers safely. Very clever. Also, did I miss the part where you explain why 2base muta loses? Can't find anything but you making fun of nydus play. | ||

Any decent Zerg will notice the contain in front of his base and will certainly not wait until 12min to try to baneling bust it. I am not sure how much the inital 2rax delays the economy but I feel even if zerg fully saturates his 2 bases first and then baneling busts it hits before you set a massive contain. Whats even more funny is that on ohana there are 2 ramps you have to contain, which you dont, and the zerg doesnt even try to flank. So much to your example... Also I don't see how a base next to your contain negates nydus? You know you can place a nydus everywhere? Baneling busting the contain from 2 sides is way more effective Last but not least: The zerg can deny the initial contain after the 2 rax, if he knows whats up and made enough lings or even takes some drones I give you credit for the effort of trying and refining new strategies, but your example is a bit lacking | ||

But I do agree with some of your points. I think this build only works depending on the map; Ohana is not a good example because of the destructible at the natural, while I think maps like Antiga make this more viable. So I might try this depending on the map. Maybe Steps of War!  | ||

Your main ends up being rather far way from your army though if the game continues on to muta or nydus tech. What do you think of relocating your main cc to say the zergs 4th once your expo is up and you can mine from there? (this could loose too much mining time but just throwing the idea out there) | ||

Blind builds can counter a lot of builds, they also just lose to a lot of builds as well  Glad people are having success with this - post replays and I'll add them to the main topic so we can share your glory! | ||
