EPTThen again; perhaps Zergs should not be so greedy and just scout with their Drone and they will see it coming. You don't even have to enter the base, you can just check for the presence of a Cybercore at the ramp (unless you play White-Ra who hardly ever walls in early, but then you can enter his base anyway), or check it's timing when its building. 2 Spines near your mineral line and you'll be fine. Perhaps you have to cancel your expo if you went hatch first, but is that really so bad? Protoss will be lightyears behind in tech when doing a Zealot rush.

Massive units are not affected by concussive shells. If you think they are, you are wrong. It's SPORE crawlers that are being changed, not SPINE. Please read carefully. | ||

You've now wasted tons of time and have to make a late Spawning Pool. If you make a 13 hatch you're just rolling a dice hoping I don't scout you first. | ||

And since 2gate only kills hatch first...I guess it helps proxy 2gate but that's a sucky cheese anyway and if you lose to that you deserve it. | ||

at the moment you can do pool/hatch or even hatch/pool on some maps with a little bit of luck not every Zerg always want's to do a gas pool thats just absolutely bullshit.... with -5sec on zealots probably not allthough you would have to test it of course.. i would love to see with what kind of an expand you can still be able to hold the new 2Gate on ladder maps | ||

I think there's still one or two hexes of space between the pylon and the wall-off. Plus, as White-Ra likes to preach is that you don't actually need to do a wall-off against Zerg with your first Gate and Core, because a 6-pool is easier to defend with Probe micro and 1 Zealot. Just wall-off with your second and third gateway instead. ^^ | ||
