I thought you were going to suggest a late Nexus at the natural and a heavy chrono boost style of play.

I dont like this strat! It's too defensive for me, and I do like aggro and all ins a looooooooooot!

What I usually do, is block the zergs natural with a nexus. Most zergs freak out, 'cuz they have been taught that as zerg you have to play macro, and thus they only have 2-4 lings. Suffice it to say, it takes them ages to kill it off, which gives me ample time to throw down them 4gts back at home. And while I'm rolling in with my imba gate units, busting FFs left and right, and the poor zerg fellow is ragging and QQing like mad, I like to listen to this song!

since you usually gather probes on your minerals while waiting to make a third, this seems to make efficient use of those other probes in the meantime. Then when you take a third, drop another nexus at the naturals conventional location. Boom! profits.
The moment you lose confidence in yourself, is the moment the world loses it's confidence in you.

Your lack of faith disturbs me.

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.

You must be trolling.

So I was doing my standard 2 rax (1 reactor 1 techlab) blindly vs toss on antiga. Toss walled off like this. I was very confused but figured ehh who cares he will let me kill his stuff! By the time I took down a building to push through though, he had 6 carriers!

Needless to say I typed out gg wp.
Lose its good, after will be win.

Well apparently this has incorporated itself into the metagame pretty quickly.

Today I tried doing this on antiga versus a zerg. The zerg saw what I was doing and reacted by placing a proxy hatchery when I was about to lay down my nexus! He later cancelled it to allow a stream of lings through before I could complete my wall off.

This seems pretty op against any zerg who does not react this way

Didn't read most comments, but IMO OP is wayyy outdated.
A better choise is to wall the zerg in at HIS ramp. It's either at his natural, or at the bottom of main. Nexus, GW (+pylon outside) wall-off, maybe with a cannon or 2.. Zerg will turtle to bust/do a Nydus. At work atm, can't make screenshots, though the build is pretty simple.

That way you grab map control, more expansions, infinite Chronoboost, superb worker amount.
Besides, you're free to mine from his natural: you get income that decreases his potential income, isn't it amazing and brilliant?

Once the contain is broken, just save probes and pressure whenever he expands. You may end up at 3 bases by the time he saturaters his half mined-out nat. The best way to pressure is either 3 Stargate or DT. Morph 1 Archont at his ramp to delay his army.

Seriously: i actually see some reason for this in Heart of the swarm, when nexi have more than chronoboost to spend their energy on. More Recall More GG

It is indeed a brillant idea, however as a master player, I have some suggestions to make it even more viable. The current weakness of this wall is that you lose some resources as the nexus as positioned a bit far from the minerals, I propose to build the 1st nexus as expansion, then you scout for baneling or roach boosts, if you see one, you immediatly throw a fast 3rd nexus as your wall. This way you are 100% safe from even the most dangerous all ins, when the danger is over, you can use it as your 3rd, giving you a 5-6 min early 3rd as protoss. Such a great advantage can win you the game in most cases.

I'm so doing this on my second account every time against zerg just to piss him off, I don't care if this is trolling.

You can also wall INSIDE your Main at your ramp, and then mass Void Raids, it usually works on lower leagues

Sorry, I couldn't resist that, I just can't... understand this thread, It is not a good idea, it's more like "Stop any try of rush walling and putting cannons, turtle yourself, and gift the map control to your enemy to expand and outmacro you after a fail that should be punished...

The best thing is learn to stop those things scouting better, microing properly, semi wall-ing and get an edge if well executed, not turtling like Bronzie sacrificing Eco while your enemy chase you on macro without pressure
