PvT 1 base Mothership Rush with 4 gate. You send mothership into their main recall your army into their base, forcefield the ramp, warp in a pylon, and GG!

I actually would do that sometimes in WoL, surprisingly effective.


Mothership rush was my first sc2 ladder win. The guy saw it flying in his base, said "holy shit gg" and left.


Build a nexus in their base and yolo recall

Pfft.

No Steppes of War, Blistering Sands, Kulas Ravine or Desert Oasis?

EDIT: INCINERATION ZONE!

And I bet close spawns are disabled on Metalopolis?

Is Blizzard even trying anymore?

Why is there no 1-1-1 build?

The strength of the 1-1-1 was the map pool and short rush distances, the Nexus cannon doesn't change that if you include a Raven with PDD.

I'm certain it is impossible stop close spawns on Metalopolis. The first Banshee shows up at your base in essentially no time, and then tanks are sieging up your base only a few minutes later.


Metalopolis is forced cross spawn, or at least no close by air


Doesn't excuse the lack of a 1-1-1 build honestly.

The problem with cannon rushing in HOTS is that low ground pylons can't power high ground cannons. That really limits what the Protoss can do. I used to execute great cannon rushes versus Zerg on Shakuras against their natural that way.

As a person just learning to play, I found that blink stalkers have become my worst nightmare. I like hording my probes; the stalkers like rubbing their poor little eye cameras in the dirt.

If they didn't immediately leave, I'd suggest they petition Blizz for a No-Rush-20 ladder mode to showcase their superior lategame.

Busting Terrans on Metalopolis is my new favourite hobby. Basically, you deny the scout, scout for bullshit, hope for greed, build units and succeed. Haven't lost too many games on that map vs. T.
Xel'Naga is also ridiculous.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Just play cloud, daybreak, akilon, and ohana and this pool is actually really nice. 2/4 of those were used on hots ladder anyways, and the other two were used in the last season of WOL. I dont understand why people are acting like Blizzard is forcing us to play on all WOL beta maps T_T

Well, 50% of this article is sarcasm, the other half is trolling really

Back in WoL we knew how to defend all these cheese, and they are not more powerful now.

And in the other hand do you really think last season was lacking 11/11 rax and bullshit?
