I might switch to protoss, just for the title of these threads.

The PvT 5 gate all in was sick on Habitation Station. You could easily hide your gates at the bottom of the map when most players were worried about proxy stargates at the gold bases and stuff like that... then gg ezpz

Teo's signature has been one of my favorites on this forum for a long time now. I started as Protoss in SC2, coming from Zerg in BW and he really helped me. Now I'm back to Zerg, but I still love reading your guys' articles.

Great stuff Sated. I especially love the cutting through the BS you do about people mindset and view of the ladder. I'll try to be less mad next time I have one of these builds used on me. :D

i know a lot more stupid shit that even works in gm.
works better on maps where you know the spawn locations though, can scout earlier or double scout in some cases on other maps.

how about:
PvT 10 gate
--> crono out 2 stalkers
--> proxy stargate with 3rd pylon
--> build 2 more gates
--> 3 gate voidray allin
doesnt work vs 1 base tech builds though, have to build robo twilight in base then and go for 4 gate blink

PvP Cannonrush still works on some maps - i still win a decent amount of games even if they scout the pylon, cuz they dont pull enough probes and i can build the first cannon in so that only 2 probes can attack it.
cannon 2 and 3 in reach of their nexus, build probes at home in the meanwhile and get a stalker out vs their mothercore immediatly, while having a cannon at ur ramp (first pylon has to be close enough to the ramp to make a cannon there).
you have to be smart to pull this off though, some ppl just build a new nexus, some build voidray, some get over to you with all probes and units they have immediatly.

PvZ - 12 forge at your natural, go over with the probe who build the forge and immediatly pylon --> scout mainbase --> 1 cannon in the middle of their natural.
if he doenst pull more than 3 drones, build 2 more cannons, if he pull enough probes, just cancel, build probes at all times, build nexus block 3rd with ur probe, you shouldnt be behind. also make sure to scout around for hidden bases / proxy hatches / scout gas timing if you can - ive lost games to nydus 1 base before.
again, you have be smart and anticipate the reaction of your opponent more than usually.

I've been trying NeverDie's 8gate DT drop in PvZ myself. It's a lot like a Tasteless "the correct response to Zealot pressure is to make Spores" kind of build. It seems something like this was mentioned in the old PvZ guide as well.

The first book of bullshit was already more than I could handle, my body was not ready for another one! Great job.

only one I can remember is hatch block in the wall on Catallena vs Nexus first

also roach/ling all-in in ZvT that kills everytime unless Terran makes a tank (and it hits at like 8:00)

yeah but most of them come out even or behind at the end (outside of Life's all-in proxy hatch and Scarlett's in-base roach burrow)

but 2 base nydus swarm host in ZvP is a fairly good bullshit, do that

soO turned his series vs Zest around through those builds, so I disagree

Pretty sure it was off2base, lair+banes+ol speed+ol drops off one base doesnt sound very realistic, and it's much easier to scout

There was also that sick first ovie snipe with the spore crawler in ZvZ, though not a build per se and more like a trick, but damn hilarious (maybe a build to pull if you manage to kill it?)
