I know 3 depot walls are not very viable, that's just in case. | ||

Most people only "EXPECT" that it should "ONLY" be two supply depot but there's no rule stating how many there should be and when. Take it from an A ranked player, if Flash were to 3 wall supply I'm sure the whole community would do it on that particular map. Whatever works and holds up the expansion, go for it! But yeah, not for TvZ unless it's ling proof. There is no possible way you can survive early game with a 3 depot natural wall in tvz, ling proof or not. | ||

When protoss is doing some 2 base all in it can work. The reason why it doesn't work for tvz is not because that its ling proof. Its because by the time you finish it making your depots at the regular timing it won't be finished in time if zergs make zerglings. If you build them in advance its going to cut on your timings which is against the whole purpose of the wall in the first place. What is the purpose of a wallin? Its so you can lay off on defense such as a bunker and even rines. To actually complete a 3 depot wall you will have to make rines which then you won't need the wall in. It just makes your nat smaller and causes it to be easier to harass. | ||

On top of this, a ling proof wall is also marine proof and will lead you to funneling when you leave making ling surrounds or lurkers a pita to deal with. | ||

He told me he was A+ in a pm. The 1st one is good but id probably not use it cause it looks like one of htose AI fuck up wall ins, the 2nd one id use though, mostly cause its just a nice clean zealot proof wall the ones at the natural..just no | ||
