2 Halls in one base.. Good or waste?

I was messing around in a game and I had 2 halls in one base.. at 11 in a 3v3. I had a pard at 9 and 12, and were both rushing, so I was untouched. I got to lust incredibly fast. In that scenerio it worked, but I always heard it was a waste. Any thoughts?

Seriously, its a waste unless the mine has 75k or more. On a 60 or 65k mine, once the mine pop you will have spent like 15k only on peons and thats way too much to mine only 60k. A one hall lust gets lust faster and if u keep pumping peons a lil after reaching fort, you will be able to afford as many raxes as an inside dual can.

You can always move those peons to another mine, so its not really a waste, but I don't think that this is a particularly good strat to use, I would rather just power.

Yea but since peoples usually pull the inside dual at 11, its very hard to expand. 12 is the most scouted spot of the map while 9 can get dked extremely easily.

OH also, what i rly dislike about it is that if u pumped too much peons, you will reach lust and have only 5-10k remaining in the mine, which mean you will fight for a min with lust and then will already have to expand. At this state of the game, both players have lust and hit each other. You having to pull 20 peons out of 11 requires a lot of microing time and they can all die on the way to the expand.

Ganz, you don't even need a hall for you to beat someone Rolling Eyes

And 2 halling in 1 base is usually not adviseable in a 1v1. The only place where it makes sense is at 11, because you can hall on the outside and it makes you safer due to the easier repair space, but you have to manage your peons VERY very carefully. If you aren't careful, you can find your mine completely blown faster than you think and your 40 peons tripping all over each other as you struggle to expand while trying to attack something.

It's better to just dual UNLESS you have very good peon resource management, then you can get away with it.

I'd say a behind 6 dual is better than dual halling at 11.

I agree. I used to dual behind 6 on zone when it was still relatively inexpected, and I had pretty damn good results, particularly if someone was at 4 or 5.

2 halling inside 11 is only reasonable if you are a very good player...but in the case of being a good player, you can pretty much do anything with success.

On BNE/F dualing inside 12 is effective because you really have a 90k mine with s12. But again, if you arent a good player its pointless.

Well i think dualing behind 6 isnt very good at all. I always scout the back of 6. If he takes it after i scouted it, then i will see the chops and notice the dual. At this time, the game is already won because i mill, pull 3-4 peons and rep another hall while forcing him to get defense at both his base. I eventually win with lust and by a large margin.

This dual can be tried inside a long serie. If you rushed like 3-4 games in a row then u can try it. Maybe the opponent will forget about that somewhat risky dual. But still, everyone scouts 6 at least once before reaching hold...

It may be good if lets say, you are at 11. Scout with first peon 9 s9 and then starts a hall at the back of 6. At 11, do a normal rushing setup and hope for the opponent to scout 11 before 6. If he does, he will see your grunts and think you are rushing. Once he scouted 11 and hes convinced that you rush, wall 11 and power. Mine 11 like crazy with barely no choppers. Chop at 6 instead. At best, you should have all your choppers at 6. But once 6's mine is cleared and that u can mine it. Do a massive peon switch : Stop completely chopping at 6 and mine with all peons and pull all the choppers you need off the mine at 11. That way, you wont have 11's mine gone by the time you just started mining at 6. So you will have 2 mines running at same time for a long while, which is better than mine 11 like crazy and pop the mine, struggle to find a way to get all the peons out and take an expand while barely mining 6.

Also, this is better against dks, if you dont mine 6 hard enough when u can, you will get fuked rly hard once sum1 dk 6 and that 11 is already gone. By pulling peons out of 11 to chops and sending all choppers to mine 6, you will have a good gold flow even if you get dked, having another mine to gather ressources from.

This is the best way to try this dual. Remember that the key not to have 6 scouted is to make the opponenent thinks that you rush by scouting your main BEFORE 6 o clock. Thats the part that relys on random and thats why i dont like this dual. But once u have the opponent believing into your rush, chances are small for him to scout 6 so you almost already won the game, if you are good at dualing of course.
