This post is amazing. Especially the "fuck this base there must be so much shit behind there" mental game. LOL!!

This is the best post I've ever seen on TL...

I prefer the 3 nexus walloff personally

Funny post
The best part is that in HotS this may be a viable kind of wall-in if they keep mass recall on the nexus. instant recall to your front door!

hahahaaho omg
i wanna cancel my account and re-register just to say i registered because of this post

I like to wall off with just a forge and 1-2 gates! lol :D
|
obvious troll is obvious. and hilarious

I think there's a chance this could be viable in HoTS, but currently I'm not sure imo. I'd have to try some testing and see how it would pan out.
|
This changes everything! Such blasphemy.
|
Only bibbit could come up with a wall off so brilliant and so revolutionary.
|
Yay, I think I'm gonna wall like this AND expand at natural. More chrono energy for HOTS cannon, and if not needed, I'll have more chronos that I can use on colossi
|
This wall off... I don't know what to say. Baneling busts used to work against Protoss... until this happened.
|
i admire your self-confidence, but trying to mine that inefficiently on the 3rd has to be an attempt to troll or a straight up joke, and even to the natural its iffy as hell, like shortizz mentioned, building an extra nexus to fill the wall is one thing, extra nexi have lots of use (chrono, ridiculous numbers of workers) but trying to skip putting a nexus at your natural and your third while having a secure full wall seems just bad. seems as if you would always fall behind in a macro game if you tried to mine without actually taking the expansion

Doesn't even come close to Hydraroach, sorry.

I was trying to work on something similar to this but you beat me to it. Great job I will use this from now on.
