Yeah, you read that right. It wasn't me doing the n00bness this time (though I definitely have a few big moments of n00bdom, mostly in my mineral inefficiency). But I had to post this replay of an opponent literally massing PFs, at one point having 5 in one base.

No lessons learned, nothing much more to say about it. Just a very funny/ridiculous strat that I had to show you guys.

Haha, I guess that's what he was thinking when he later put FIVE in one base!

lol that was pretty funny. It would have been even better if he tried to build offensive PFs in your base.

I noticed you said missile turrets are a problem for colossus, but actually an upgraded Colossus outranges even an upgraded missile turret. Colossus also outrange PFs, so they're kind of the perfect solution to what the Terran did.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Oh, nice, so my counter was pretty good after all I guess!
