My clanmate and I were just screwing around one day, and we decided to do a ZvP game. Keep in mind, this is D level.

We wanted to see if he could do a gas-heavy build by taking one of his four drones and getting an extractor on the spot. It worked.

With 4 gas, although you have a 25% drop in minerals, you could get gas on demand and perhaps get a quicker lair; and quicker mutas. Hydra/Muta doesn't deprive you of gas... much.

So I don't know if this only works on D level, and I couldn't get a replay cause my launcher is being retarded and won't work, I'll get one as soon as I can get the thing up and running with ChaosPlugin.

..what? you can't even use your gas until your pool is done. using one of your first drones on an extractor + your first 50 minerals (essentially another drone's worth of minerals) will delay you pool like crazy. And then if you actually put any drones on gas, it will delay you even more.

Conclusion: you are a troll.

Newsflash: Taking your gas at 4 supply increases your gas.

If a Protoss steals your gas fast in a 1v1 game you laugh at him, say "thank you", and proceed to take your third hatchery while tearing down the assimilator with your lings.

no guys this works do the 3 drone burrow rush like houseurmusic said

you attack his probes with ur 3 drones. then when he gets the message "ur base is under attack" he will go back to look but u burrow and he will be really confused. if u keep doing this u can kill all his probes b4 he realizes it

please don't ban me

I think a 4 probe rush bo would counter this, or would you be able to handle it with superior micro?

well if u get burrow then he can't hit ur drones! so what u do is u attack his probes (with good micro of course) and when ur drone is almost dead u burrow it. then u let it recover health. now u may be thinking "but probes recover health to" but that is NOT TRUE bcuz they only recover 20 shield points and not their hp. so after a while ur drones will have full health and his will have 20 shield but only 1 hp. and that is ez win.
