Get your standard 8 drones/build pylon halfway through 8th drone. Build 1 more drone.
Now you have 9, pylon whould be complete or about to complete.
WHen pylon is built, get gateway IMMEDIATELY.
Send TWO drones to scout for a protoss or terran opponent. This won't work on zergs.
Against terran, this is a win for you unless he is some super micro master. On protoss, it is still a win if you can micro.
Anyway, take your two drones to their base. Go up their ramp. IF TERRAN take both drones and kill the barracks he's probably building by killing the scv making it. then send one drone to make a pylon next to his entrance while the other distracts the scvs that will chase you. You are disrupting his economy as a bonus.
Back to the gateway... when your gateway is finished, take the first zeal you make and immediately send it to where your drone made the pylon. Make another zeal, set rally point for the pylon. This has to happen the SECOND your gate comes up, so pay attention and don't get caught up in the pylon at the enemy base and forget.
When pylon is made (and zeal on the way) make a shield battery. This will keep your zeal alive to hold off your mini base until your second zeal arrives (any second). Here is where you start to pump drones to make up for your loss of time in the beginning.
When you have 2 zeals (and your shield battery) drop another pylon and a forge on the mini base you're now building. The enemy is forced to go defensive and his partner can come to help, BUT you have more zeals on the way, a shield battery (or two at this point) to keep you alive, and probably a partner to help out your base should you get countered and your zeals are away from home.
Against protoss it's the same idea, except that you can't stop his gate from coming since they warp in and theres no drone to kill. So you're going to have to make the whole base right outside of his if you think you can't get into his base and pull it off. Either way you have contained while your partner is free to tech. This works SO MANY TIMES but 6 zerglings will tear it up fast, even with the shield battery if they take the pylon (and 6 CAN do it by running around yuor zeal) your strat is dead, you're way behind in the min race and you have to rebuild a vital pylon. Instant loss against zerg. Guarantee against terr, good shot against prot.
dorito@quik.com I would love to hear how this worked for you.
CreepColony's Opinion: If you would really like to distract your opponent, use your second probe to morph an assimilator at your opponent's geyser. He'll most likely try to kill it with his SCVs.
