Protoss can reinforce right in your base, there's no such thing as a defender's advantage in ZvP, so why do this? of course there is a defenders advantage in ZvP, but gold bases have a lot less of those advantages because they should be harder to hold. Lack of ramps, more open space, etc
What is that defender's advantage exactly? Protoss almost has a smaller reinforcement distance than zerg, so I find that hard to believe.

I'm inclined to say that CatZ faces much worse opponents on the ladder than those guys. I'm talking tournament games.

Hydra probably had it at some point but the use of the map layout was quite impressive, though I don't think it should have worked so well. tbh taking gold vs Protoss is pretty imba
Yeah MaNa spent the whole stream complaining about it yesterday ^^

Those weren't even blink stalkers. Hydra gotta step it up. I don't want a stomp lol

This is where we're heading though... As expected, sadly.

not like he should, he's shown time and again how to lose with them when ahead

when I say defenders advantage I mean stuff like ramps, chokes/open areas. Distance is part of it, and sure, warp in does negate that to some degree but you still often have to run up a ramp, or pass through places where OL:s can spot your advance

PartinG is extremely good, but he plays like a cunt and watching him play should make every Protoss feel guilty.

I think those spawns are better for Zerg, cause you can actually go SH on them, but on cross you can't really do anything

Ret said yesterday that he didn't know what to do on cross. I'm inclined to say vertical is better since you have a better shot at breaking the 3rd.

Since when do ramps and chokes help Zerg in ZvP? Open areas maybe, but Protoss has a way to negate that as well.
In ZvP there's just no defender's advantage that you can rely on. So a strategy that relies on you having it is stupid against Protoss imho. With that gold base you're putting yourself out there soo much, that any capable Protoss should be able to abuse it.

well yeah, but that means you're going macro, and on cross the only macro would probably be mutas
