So many invisible walls omg!!!!
Marines -- AHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAA!
Zealots -- FGIOJSRG OIWRGOIWERGPIUWER GIWG
Every Zerg unit -- I do say my good man, sir overlord, this is quite the conundrum we have here I am not quite sure how to bypass this wall, it seems the Protoss have discovered our true weakness since the Brood Wars ended.

We should host a contest to see who can come up with the stupidest wall-off on TL

The most entertaining Protoss thread I've read that didn't involve Protoss tears.
5/5

Didn't Terran use to do the same thing a while back, with the "no supply depos only OCs"

I always put my expansion nexus between my natural and my third so I don't have to make another nexus. That's standard play. Nothing new about this wall off either. Everyone has encountered this or even the famous "Proxy Nexus" where they attack you with probes they made from a hidden Nexus in your base. Standard on EU Ladder.
Boring. Thought this might actually be something new.

a genius troll the likes of which I've never seen

first thought: "oh that wall looks cute.."
second thought: "wait. something is wrong. the nexus can't be..."
third thought: "lol, bibbit is a REAL genius"

i know this was meant as satire, but would this be viable by building a properly placed nexus afterwards.
It seems like it would put you a fair amount back, but the extra chrono and probe production seems like it could balance things out if you are able to hold off zerg pressure.
well nvm if i was zerg and seen this i would expand absolutely everywhere.

amazing, you sir are a genius
|
I'm quite pleased with the ratio of "wtf is this for real"s
|
I would have found this funnier if you didn't so desperately make sure everyone understand you're joking.

I was like hmmm neither is the wall in I do, I wonder what this new WTF ROFLROFLROFLROFL.

you sir, are a legend! roflolmao

That dt-shrine maze is super sexy. Glad the other races have no units that can just bypass it with wings.

but , it doesnt seem very profitable
It's just a playstyle. Some people like walling with 2 nexus, others are content with just one. Season to taste.

I actually can't stop laughing. This thread is great.
