If you want to do the Immortal all-in, you need to Nexus first, which leaves you open to Ling/Roach all-ins and early pools. If you don't want to Immortal all-in, you're gambling on hitting a pre-Hive timing. It's hard to know what Parting should do. You don't need to nexus first to do immortal sentry And nexus first with scout is completely fine against Ling/Roach all-ins and early pools. | ||

All he scouted was that Zerg took gas AND was on 2 base, wouldn't that normally scare protosses to be defensive cos aggression might be coming ? The timings are different from forge first or gateway first. Forge first can't attack with gateway units that fast, but gateway first can. The timing isn't good enough for infestors to be out, and good FF can stop mass speedling attacks. The attack has a dual purpose of pressure (into kill if there are no spines) and scouting. | ||

All he scouted was that Zerg took gas AND was on 2 base, wouldn't that normally scare protosses to be defensive cos aggression from the Zerg might be coming ?(since no 3rd) He was poking before committing to it, once he saw he had already he went for it. he already had enough sentries to defend. | ||

Would love to see games where it's more than just build order vs build order :< Boring? Sounds really risky and exciting to me. You never know when the 7 pool is coming :p For me personally, boring would be following the same usual PvZ FFE into 3 base pre-broodlord timing into PvZ game after game. | ||

This Series is pretty epic, deserves an insane macro game to end it. | ||

He probably just discovered it independently. In any case, it's a great build and a nice break from seeing FFE every game! | ||
