I usually like to transition to warp prism secret expand into 5star carrier.

I actually saw a Korean progamer do this on ladder against a Zerg opponent. He used the third Nexus to saturate more quickly and chrono double forge upgrades out REALLY fast and eventually won the game against MutaLing with good Archon/Mothership play.

I just skimmed through the whole 17 pages just to see how many people actually took this serious.
At this point I'm worried about the mental health of some people.

Or maybe it's actually you on another account :O

Just trying to say... it's easier to mistake it for serious if the first wall is actually a wall...

Haha, i thought exactly that. Every sence in my brain says "this is bullshit", but I´m confused because so many players like that build.
Still looking for some replays at master niveu, which can make me believe this build isn´t stupid and the distance between minerals and nexus isn´t too big and doesn´t put me behind. Especially when Zerg goes fast third.

The great thing is, the wall nexus is so close to the third. You can just bust your forge or gateway down after you established your "medium" distance mining from the natural, and establish "medium" distance mining from the third! Great new idea to abuse one nexus like never before!

well, i know its a troll post but as someone mentioned before, hongun played that a few times.
when i was just reading that op i was really thinking about it ^^

hongun seems to have given it some serious thought and his build seems calculated.
ofc its stupid not to go for a nexus @natural but besides that it doesnt look that bad.

but i am still not sure if hongun can pull that off because hes just superior or if its really viable ^^

here i tried to check advantages:

btw: loved the 2 nexus wall at the bottom of the ramp :D and the proxy nexus seems to rock as well... i mean hey... they build a hatch in our base? we can do that too ^^

I was doing this strategy on a ladder, when I had a huge problem, the Zerg built a hatchery on my ramp, then I could not wall off because of Creep

I am not sure what to do about this strategy... and when my cannon killed the hatch the broodlings took out my pylon and I was supply blocked.

actually not a stupid idea... but hows this to go one further... build your nexus in the wall and while macroing up, throw down a 3rd nexus at your natural's true location...
having a 3rd nexus will allow you to fully saturate both your main and natural much faster and having a 3rd chrono boost can also be very handy for faster upgrades (triple forge anyone?)

will also be handy in taking a very quick true third base as having a 4th nexus will allow you to saturate so damn quickly...

its just whether you can hold out the huge investment in early game economy and therefore small early game army size until it pays off in the mid game. although you should have some spare minerals for extra cannons if need be..

definitely going to try this out!

Ok so did this the other night on SEA server verse a high diamond zerg player...(Tal Darim Alter) he saw my nexus wall and was like wtf....i fully saturated 2 base and had 3/3/3 blink stalkers so quickly...his muta harrass did nothing, then i completely steam rolled him..

such a baller idea, definitely going to be doing it more often!

edit: High diamond protoss player

You're economically behind until you can fully saturate the natural (I assume would be around 40 probes). How are you supposed to do any proper timing attacks? If you wanted to go for a quicker 3rd with pressure, in this case, MORE probes, your pressure will be so late because of the shear amount of probes you had to produce in order to be mining efficiently, which in turn makes your 3rd extremely delayed, and perhaps not safe because of the time you gave to Zerg to just drone up. As a Zerg I would get a 4th before my 3rd is saturated because I know your pressure will be so delayed because of the amount of mining that you aren't doing compared to a standard expand, and get to around 75~ drones in comparison to the 60-64 before we start making units in preparation to a timing attack. Which means I should absolutely crush any light pressure.
