Hero in Proleague and now this. :p Its usually the top Protosses that try to go out early and try to put on atleast a bit of pressure to the Zerg to delay power droning. Toss is very fragile if they don't turtle P: | ||

I guess that's a mindgame decision based on the fact that P always has holes in their wall. Thanks, I'll be doing this build until HOTS comes out  | ||

Hero in Proleague and now this. :p They cut corners, figure Zerg won't take the risk of making that many units that can be useless with one Zealot blocking that choke, and move out to do pressure or scout. Zergs noticed a pattern, are abusing it. Protoss players will have to learn to play safer for a while, then when everybody stops doing it, they'll start cutting corners again probably. | ||

Not really a good build to play with. More of a metagame thing at the top level. Most other P will leave a zealot there... | ||

(besides seeing it on the minimap just outside his base, even if he had the stalker on hold position he had no sentry and no warpgate) Send out probe to check Third again like Rain does, a Queen should be heading towards there and if not something's up and go into the natural. [or] Be better with map awareness, send zealot earlier where he has to see lings come out of natural, or build pylon at ramp faster so he knows(since Sniper has to sneak around/be sudden with that build) that the allin is coming. | ||

Some day they'll figure it out. Do you think a probe is going to stop that? even if he had a sentry at home, you can kill the wall with zerglings, I've seen zenio go for his baneling bust and then win the game without making any banelings, just by taking the whole wall down while being tickled by 1 sentry and 1 cannon. | ||
