I've never used it, so i'm not exactly an expert on it, i'm sorry I made a post, but if its such bad practice, why are people mixing it into their play (Idra in NASL, Zenio in NASL and GSL)?

As far as I know, Zenio has been using the "no gas" build for a long time, even before Spanishiwa came on the scene. I thought I'd throw that in there. I love Spanishiwa, and I constantly watch his stream/replays. So it's no way hate towards him.

But I mix this up in my own way, getting my mass queens and 3 late gases, I've done the no gas build, and it just leaves you in confusion as to what the opponent is doing. Sure 1 ling at his natural/ramp helps.. But you're pretty much in the blind as to what other people have said; You lose an overlord and the build crumbles. It's definitely not everyone's style of play, and if you can play it successfully, then you're obviously GM. It requires so much experience.
