Um wouldn't it be better to just build your natural expo in the right spot and then build a wall at the ramp out of 3 nexii? i mean, this way you can me 5 probes at a time and you have tons of chrono boost

Coincidentally, You'll find it's very easy to keep your money low .... when you have no money to begin with.

i know this is a joke, but i saw hongun playing NA ladder one night and trolling masters players... he build a macro nexus in his main and went 3forge for insanely fast 3/3/3 and pretty much crushed the terran.. while if scouted could be awful, it's a very safe chrono and probe production.. if you're efficient with chrono and macro'ing probes, surely it will pay off in not a lot of time, the issue is the window of opprotunity where your opponent can simply crush your greedyness.... I'm sure ill get flamed and torn down but I really could see a macro nexus (especially once they get recall in hots) as part of certain builds... 2 base, 3 nexus 1/1/1 pushes >.> gogogo!

Hahahaha, I thought I've seen everything but this takes the cake!

I would certainly like to see it used in a pro-game and see the zerg player's face!

not only can is that a solid wall, with 3 probes being made at a time (same as chronoboosting 2 probes), you can use all three chronoboosts (3!!) on structures to have deadly timing attacks. my strat is a variant where you get a third nexus at the natural. it's vulnerable early game because of getting a fast third nexus, but since you have a solid wall, you will be cheese proof. the third nexus will then pay off at around 8-10 minutes and you'll have an unbeatable timing attack.

a real pro would build a wall with 3 nexus, then he could saturate the mineral line faster as well.

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!

I run into this strategy a lot on ladder. I usually just leave when I see it, it's so good.

In my experiences, Walling at your natural ramp leaves you vulnerable to early pools. You can solve this by cutting probes to spam buildings, but I hate unneccessary probe cuts. Which is why I put my pylon at the bottom of my main ramp (to use as an emergency block if need be) then I scout and If I see an early pool I stick my forge up, If I spot a 6 pool then I can block with 1 forge and one pylon (at the bottom) then cannon the top of my ramp.
