hi SortOf. i know this is kind of an older video, but i still had a couple questions haha. Given the prevalence of blocking nowadays, why not take a 15 hatch? could a 15 hatch still be blocked by a pylon or gate scout? It feels like being able to take your nat if you 15 hatch is very, very worth it in terms of defense, and even economically preferable to taking the third thanks
15 hatching is viable for sure. The biggest reason that you dont see it very often is that you get very similar eco compared to just doing 16 or 17 hatch on your 3rd, so if theyre not trying to block you, you are behind compared to where you would normally be.
Isn't there also a school of thought where you send your drone early and if you see the probe then you just immediately go to the third so you can still get a 16 hatch at the third without needing to build more drones?
Yeah I shouldve gone into this specific topic in more detail in the video for sure, by no means do you WANT to have to start your hatchery on 18/19, ideally you scout for the probe with the overlords on the maps where you can, and on maps where its not possible to scout for it with your overlord, you send your drone abit earlier than normal. This was a mistake by me in the game that I played in the video, but I felt it was still fine to use it because youre bound to forget to send your drone earlier 100% of the time. Sorry about any confusion that this might have caused.
Great guide, plz make more of them.
