Was on Diamond account, randomed my way into a PvZ on Antiga and figured "Why not?" Game ended up being super close (base race, in fact) but I had done triple nexus (second one in wall) into another goofy strat of almost pure chargelot with a splash of stalkers. I think if I had just went into a normal game, I coulda won.

But Protoss is my main race that I'm masters with on another account so maybe there was a notable skill difference. Still, I'm super low masters so its not like the skill difference would be huge. >_>

BEing totally serious, it seems like it might not be that bad as a spot for 3rd nexus because then you can reach saturation pretty early and start long distance mining the third if you can get enough units to control your choke with forcefields.

LOL For a second I thought they were talking about this but then they started sounding way too serious so I figured "no way in hell!"

How can that work in the midgame? The workers cant mine effictive, the distance between nexus and minerals is far too big. If Zerg doesn´t go baneling/roach push, it would be much better if you went for a normal wall-in.

Has ever a pro used this wall-in? Or can someone (at least master) post a replay doing this?

You can always place a proper Nexus after can't you? Then use your wall Nexus as a macro one just for faster probe production and extra Chrono boost to make your upgrades and robo bay even faster. If Terrans can have macro Orbitals, why can't Protoss have a macro Nexus?

Hahha this thread is a joke or what ? , not offence to author. But for sure you are not even a diamond player.
For one stupid example , 8-10 can easyli kill your nexus , and you cant do anything because your uniots will be block behind it..
So gg , next try pls :D

Hey I have an idea: lets pretend it's our first time on the internet, read a blatantly troll thread (but really we only read the title and looked at the pictures), ignore all the other posts before writing our own, and insult the OP for being a bad player despite the fact that our own knowledge of the game is so limited we actually thought a macro-nexus wall off was serious.
