Well when the game starts you just lift off and go to the neares gold minerals. Dont worry that you'll get behaind in the start the golds will get you up and running in no time. Just spam baracks ASP.
Hmz... and you will crash a rocks with SCV's?!I think this is little unrealistic ;)
There are no rocks, unless you are playing the novice map. Even then, you can load your SCVs INSIDE your command centre, meaning they fly with it. However, this is extremely risky, especially if your opponent is either an early expander, meaning he will discover it extremely fast and most slightly has the resource and army advantage, or is planning a rush, for instance, this video of a failed attempt at the exact same strat.

I've seen this happen time to time, however it's usually unrealistic due to the fact you now have 3 ramps to protect instead of the usual 1.
This won't work in any competitive game. It will get scouted too early.
Ya people did this way back when everyone sucked. Now to many good players will see it and rush it.
May you are right but I saw replay from HuskyStarcraft and he did it and he made mass marines so it can work.
I think you guys are overestimating the gold minerals. Gold minerals give 7 minerals per trip (7mpt) vs 5mpt the normal ones give. But the gold expansions only have 6 mineral patches against 8. This means, once you saturate your expansions (it's about 2-3 workers, depending on the distance from the cc, but let's say it's 2) the gold minerals will give you 2*6*7 = 84mpt against 2*8*5 = 80mpt. As you see there's a differense of 4 mpt, if we do it with the example of 2 workers per patch. Those 4mpt, you can't really use for anything at all.. And remember you have to consider the travel time where you're A: not mining, B: not producing additional workers. -My conclusion, there's no point in this tac, and theoreticly it'd never work.
But if you're compelled in your theory that this will give you an advantage, why don't you show us a simulation?

Its not real Husky but its possible.
Because it wasn't the real husky, the match was probably bronze league, because that zerg wasn't too good.
I can tell you for sure this will fail hard in higher leagues.
Gold minerals are scouted before the main of the enemy, not just for early expo/lift off, but also for proxy.
Especially, with the ladder being fixed to better situate your placement from the proxy newbies and actual good players, seeing this in Platinum will be rare, and almost non-existent in Diamond.

Although post patch 10 or whatever, I saw this used frequently in Platinum (which included newbies at the time)
Let's just say I kept putting a dent into their record without much difficulty.
This was actually done in platinum if you read all the forum comments on team liquid originating from box raging on it. Then again, the zerg wasnt really a good player and didnt handle it fast enough.
Oh, that video is older then I thought.
Ranks really didn't mean anything back then because noobs were in Platinum, but it's getting better lately.
Very risky though. When iagainst terran i swipe past through the zelnaga towers before scouting for real
this is 2 risky, like they said at the start you scout dperiod, it is a must, if u see your enemy building up there pinch from both sides, or run around the bot striking multiple entrances u will pinch their army allowing you to kill tons of people, you'll win.
