Me: green toss at 6 on temple
Him (i'm horrible with names): 3 o'clock brown zerg.
Having lost two consecutive zerg/toss matchups when drawing the 6 o'clock starting position (my double gate getting owned when expanding by 18-24 zerglings), i decided to triple gate forge as an appropriate correction.
And, as expected, I scouted an early hatch/pool/hatch build. Foreseeing dead zerglings, i rallied from my 3 gates, stayed on top of my pylons, and built a forge. I woulda cannoned his front door, but saw an ovie :(
and then, it hit me. Again, as in the two previous matchups from this position, he attacked with 18-24 zerglings. only, he got owned. using the cannons at my extended choke and zealot micro, i owned his rush. I then double expanded. GG. he tried some zergling drops, and some lurker drop trash, but it was to no avail. 200 supply 3/3 shit owns you.
Lessons:
at 6, it's better to triple gate then build at the secondary choke. either that or 2gate reaver drop THEN expand.
losing your first 8 zeals will get you killed.
