Yes! Look at this beauty: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/CRjfmxg.png) Meanwhile, Bisu. He cant even be bothered to build the beacon, forge, and observatory around the pylon properly. And look at those marco stargates! ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/oDL2qnR.png) | ||

That's why they start to get into a somewhat random formation, as long as it's in the general area he wants it in, it's good enough. Even in early games before actual supermicro map jumping occurs, terrans just normally put down their depots loosely close to each other without any attempt to be snug and aligned. This has to be intentional. | ||

This has to be intentional. What do you mean by snug and aligned, also what time period are we talking about in a game? If it's done intentionally it might depend on position/match up, you don't want to have a bunch of depots stacked on top of each other restricting unit movement to deal with muta harass or drops for example. Do you have any examples of what you're talking about, because that's not my experience, or maybe it's just semantics. | ||

Anyone who has played BGHXXXXX 999999 as toss knows this is a bad layout even with unlimited money and units, although it's cute looking. All Im saying is, Horang2, ocd and all, must have planned this ahead that 1/6 of hist gates will not produce dragoons. In the name of looking pretty, damn effectiveness. | ||

when i get a corner base (2nd main base expo) i just spam gates close to each other (many of which have blocked exits for goons) and only make zeals and hts from those gates, my goal is just to have a ton of gates on 1 screen so i can spam units asap. | ||
