I've had fair success with this strategy and I'm pretty sure this cheese is a completely original idea.
The build is to eng bay block his expo, proxy a 16cc, then wall off the bottom of his ramp with the cc. The eng bay block prevents the 15hatch (and thus the blocking creep spread). Cancel the eng bay block at the right time and u can start your PF in range of a near-complete hatchery at his natural. Follow this is up with your barracks floated over and a fast siege tank, and his mineral line is dead (on a map like metalopolis).
Build order:
10supply (@ your ramp wall)
13 eng bay block at zerg natural
16 hidden proxy cc
17 gas
17 barracks (@ your ramp wall)
(cancel eng bay when cc is 40-50sec complete)
18 gas and eng bay (@ your ramp wall)
@rax completion - OC, marine, factory
@cc completion - float his ramp bottom and wall it off with cc and eng bay
PF

| this build is pretty awesome, although if the command center is seen being built than it has no chance. Creative nonetheless! |

True. It`s good to know typical zergling pathing, and overlord placement so you don`t reveal it for free. Low-ground between the third and gold on metalopolis is best as that spot is typically even unchecked for proxy rax. Metalopolis is also probably the only map I`d suggest using this strat on if you are serious about winning often. |

| I like it, but the way to stop it is to put a drone under the CC before it lands.....once it lands your ahead. I wonder if there is enough time to do that after you see the CC flying in? Last edit: 2012-04-13 08:40:34 |

Any reason why you only suggest doing it on metalopolis? Most maps have spots where you could put it and be relatively confident that they won't scout. |
