    I will personally find you and break your fingers if you do that.

    On a related note, any tips on how to stop it? Because I think I saw it a tad too late in one of my recent matches and allowed my expansion to go up but I can't imagine how I'd keep up with units off of 1 base (even with a second hatch).

    How many? Because they had something like 4 zealots 8 stalkers and a colossus...

    Regardless, even if I do manage to defend and destroy the pylon, is the 4-gate robo detrimental enough to their economy? Because if I go crawlers I'll not only lose out on drones but also troops (for a counter attack for example).

    4gate robo will completely drain the resources of a single base if you commit to it. You need 2 bases to be comfortable with it and start adding more gateways, 1 base won't let you build anything else...

    Btw, there's some helpful tips by idra here:
