Each time an army moves out the depot must be lowered (assuming it is closed at all times) This is approximately a split second to one second delay, in regards to early game pushes each second matters, and throughout the game this will add up. 2. We are in code S territory, these players have the ability to hold any early game attacks with just scvs/tier 1 units, this means that under the assumption that the zerg moves his units inside the main, he will lose his army to the defender (this is a big deal). If there was a wall off this would be discouraged. 3. Psychological effect on opponent, because a wall-off is so expected not seeing one may affect your opponents play in a negative way. 4. Saved mineral time from moving scv's to a farther location. Downsides 1. Under the rare scenario that your army is soooo far away from your ramp that a zergling can run up and scout every single building, than this is a downside. lol | ||

When they don't and you know they're a high-calibre player, you would assume that they'll luring you to go up the ramp, pretty much forcing the Zerg to take a risk that can pay-off or lose a chunk of their army. Please, as a silver level player I could tell the difference between stupid and mindgames. Mind-games (for multi rax opening), include building your depot as usual but hide your rax (looks like proxy) OR showing a reactor next to a factory but not swapping, etc. | ||

If it was Tastosis, the beautiful flank from losira and the explosion of all marines by banelings would have been : "OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDDDDDD HUGE EXPLOSION" here it's just : oh well good flank .. | ||

Do you know the subtleties terran gameplay? I'm high Master Terran on Europe server, and I know better than not walling in TvZ for reasons so stupid even a Copper League player would dismiss them with a laugh. | ||
