If you can , add gate or canon to that pylon( depend how you open ofc) assume gateway expand because any other opening this would be easy to deal with. and there is already a hatchery at his nat. This is hatch --> pool ---> 3rd hatch cancel at my nat. Gets up way before you go to expand | ||

Anyway just thought it was interesting. I thought it was more funny myself. That said, I do have my own opinions regarding Terran posters like Thedwf and their posts. But, I do not believe it helps our thread to bring posts like this in here.  Best leave the Terrans and Zergs to themselves and be happy that Protoss have always had the best Brotoss here on TL. *grouphug* | ||

I have no clue about how big the investment is in this, so some help would be nice. I assume if I don't kill a lot of probes (6+) and deny quite a bit of mining time, I'm behind. Search function didn't really help me out, pardon me if this has already been discussed. Thanks! | ||

My question is, does anyone have any experience with this, and can it still be strong when scouted (granted the opponent will respond correctly)? Or should I just stick to proxying two gateways if I want to proxy at all for maximum effectiveness? I have no clue about how big the investment is in this, so some help would be nice.

Thanks! wait so you get a gate at home and proxy another right? proxying in general is a bad idea in pvp thanks to mothership core if you want to go for early pressure, go for a 10-gate, 3 gate warp gate all ins are infinitely better than non i think cannon rushing is even better than proxying at least you can recover from failed gateway pressure and failed cannon rushes (assuming you're not completely bad) but losing half or all of your production if it gets scouted or defended makes it almost impossible | ||

If you feel you are better than your opponent though it is better to just go for gateway expand. | ||

FFE is a perfectly valid opening though. I think the best idea is to mix up both if you can do it. | ||

Basically it's wol all over again and my zerg opponents just relied on pure roaches and easily bullied my army. it seems like they dont care anymore about taking blows by the P army (even with a decent immortal count) while burrowd since they ll just close the distance so fast. btw Im dia. | ||
