Why chrono nexus right at start of the game ? Doesn't it just lead to you getting supply blocked at 15?


Chrono at the start (~33% done the first probe) makes it so the chrono finishes right as the 14th probe finishes. You can then do it again on 18 with the 19th probe finishing right as the chrono finishes and I get a 1:20 19 Nexus down. I feel like doing it this way gives me the most consistency with the builds. Any other chrono timings I've tried get some wonky probe timings that don't feel that clean.

I see people still trying other chrono timings as well and I'm not saying this is the best way, but I have yet to see a good reason why the others are better. Feels like I'm wasting energy by saving it for so long when some people wait until after gateway even to do their first chrono.

i just tried chrono @ game start to see how it would work out and you end up with around 10 more minerals but 17th+ probes are all 10 seconds later than if you do normal first chrono @43 seconds

unless you pylon/gate scout its the only thing that makes sense otherwise your 17th probe will finish before first geyser is close to done

normally 2nd chrono is saved until cycore/2nd pylon finish @ 23 supply from what ive experienced ..


I talked some with Harstem about it and he said that you should chrono before pylon any time you don't care about your gate being a few seconds late. So in PvZ you should always do it. I agree with the 2nd chrono now though. Saving it until after you scout so that you aren't being cheesed is much safer and then then next time you can use it is after your 2nd pylon finishes. But it's also important to note that at 3:00 you will have 1 extra probe (30) with chrono before pylon than you do with chrono after gate (29). Not a massive difference but it's something.
