Gas Gathering Structures

[AntiNeutrino411]

I am a protoss player that is not very experienced. My friend, whom I play Bnet with is a nice player with good strategies. Its really annoying when he sends a probe or a drone to my base and creates an extractor/assimilator on my only vespene geyser. This is in the first 30 seconds of game time. Does anyone here know any good counters for this?

P.S: He tried doing this with terran, but I went for his scv, so he cancelled the building and left me alone.

You might want to try attacking his scv/probe/drone with your probes. I would also ask him to stop.

The second option might work...but...
1. I can attack his scv while it is building
2. A drone will sacrifice itself to build a structure that has 750 HP, so instead of attacking a 40hp drone, you attack an extractor under construction.
3. A probe has to merely touch the vespene geysers to start warping. Killing the probe after that will not kill the assimilator.

Well if you're toss vs zerg or toss vs toss the gas is not as necessary that early compared to if you were vsing terran. Just don't worry about it. Let him warp it in while you go double or tripple gateway zealots and just kill it with your first zealots. If he's zerg be sure to scout him because he could try to sneak lings in your base while you're killing the gas structure. If he his rushing send your first two zealots to the ramp and put them side by side on the ramp on HOLD POSITION. Then just kill the gas with your next zealots. Try to pressure him directly after that because he will most likely be teching while you have been building zealots.

if he's toss, do the exact same thing to him, cuz then ur even.
if he's zerg, do what chronic said.
