Hi all,
I tried looking for the answer to this question on Liquipedia, but no luck...what's the "correct" response in ZvP, when P severely delays your nat hatch with probe/pylon/gimmick trash? (assume P is going normal FFE)
My guess is to wait until you have lings to chase the probe/kill the pylon, and then expand as normal, get your 3rd, etc. I assume it's not worth it to try placing your "3rd" hatch, while the probe is delaying your nat...but this might be wrong.
Any pointers? Thanks!
If you went overpool, I think it's fine to just wait for lings but I think it's a lot harder to deal with if you're going 12 hatch.
I see a lot of people just place their hatch off center (so it doubles as natural hatch for a short while as well as a macro hatch later on when you put down the 3rd hatch on center in the natural). A good place to put down your 2nd hatch is where it would make a good wall so you're better protected against zealot timings. I think your economy will be a bit worse if you do this (since you don't have a third) so I would recommend going lair-less mass hydra style if you choose to do this. Also, you can take the third as your 2nd base instead of the natural. If they still chase your probe at the third then probably just build hatch off center or use another drone to make a base at another third location (only if it is pretty close to it).
