rofl. dat bump.
it delays your nexus and subsequently your forge/cannon by about ~10 seconds. which is enough for lings from a standard 14 pool cause quite a bit of damage, especially ohana where the rush distance is pretty short

17 nexus is actually not the greediest build... Sometimes you can go 17 pylon --> 19 nexus if you see a zerg player going for 15 hatch.

I'd suggest checking if it is worth to update the information presented here:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=251528#14
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=287970
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=288105

Also, post sim-city pics and detail the timings for each map of the current map pool. FFE's in tal'darim, entombed, shakura and ohana all have different reaction timings.

...Thanks for bumping this, guys. I will try to get more information on this shortly. Unfortunately, when I first wrote this, I started doing only 1-gate FEs in PvZ hahaha. I will try to do some updates this week and add sim city pictures (might take from pro games, not my own).

I'm curious how that works. The main reason for 17 nexus is that you have 16 probes on minerals, which is optimal mining. By going 19 nexus, you have potentially more probes than you actually need at that point. In addition, you delay your nexus by about 30 seconds, which is equivalent to a chronoboost.

In theory, a 19 nexus sounds kind of bad, but I could be wrong.
