they provide over double the capacity what a hatchery provides in larvae. zerg can expand way too quickly in current form as is
If you see a fast expand go gate - stargate/gate at the same time. Then pump out 4 phoenixes. Use to kill queens, then drones, then OLs. Simultaneously expand/go robo. Continue harassing/killing OLs while you build up army. Win game.
this is the bbv thread. i come here to vent. if you dont like it put me on ignore and move on.
it is so simple for zerg to fast expand and not have to worry about any type of rush from protoss. the only thing we can do against a fast expander is to 4 gate and that doesn't work half the time.
if you 2 gate vs a hatch first, you probably won't win right away but you can force the zerg to make units instead of drones and get ahead that way

I don't like this, it's easy to stop once you hit a certain point. Same with 4 gate. It'll end up with you even in most things, but he'll have 2 bases to your 1.
I prefer to match the fast expand since you won't see early pressure. Then do some sort of 5-6 gate timing push right before mutas can start to matter.

I think this will become standard (its what I do as terran basically) I think its the most powerful build as long as you keep constant pressure. But people dont like just making tier 1 .
Wow, I just played somebody with 2,500 games played. How is that even possible?
pretty easy to play a ton of games is you just rush people every game. i can't remember exactly how many games he had played but i played a guy who just worker rushed every game when i wan in bronze. i think he had like 5000 games.
