if you are talking about making this your main purpose to stasis, then no. it is not worth it since economically, it wouldn't hurt him much either unless you are far ahead and corner him to one base to your 7 bases or something like that.
and btw, mining workers can move through stasis-ed units.

Mining workers can move through stasised units but if a mineral field was being mined by a worker that was stasised then that field can't be mined until the stasis wears off.

just wondered what button you pressed in-game (is it possible?) to turn your enemies colour to red to make them more visible on minimap

Hold shift and hit tab twice. That will turn your color to green and your opponent to red.

Shift+tab once for changing them to red on the minimap, twice for changing your and their colour in game to teal and red respectively as well as the minimap.

With two good shots you could probably stasis nearly all of them, but if you are in a position to do that, you would be better off just storm dropping the mineral line. Similar apm, similar risk, but a lot more damage.

Honestly I think the real question is why not just recall the mineral line?
Stasising SCVs is something I only do if I know I've won the game, 100%.

no it does not block, but if you have the full energy, y not just recall? you can kill the scv permanently AND kill the CC. also, if lets say the terran army is about to attack you. either they sacrifice their nat and pretty much their main in order to attack you. all you need to do is make another base somewhere and you've pretty much got it. save the stasis on battles. dont do this unless ur f-ing around, or unless you want to try this out.

Has there been any game not involving Flash which displays "sauron mech"?

Flash must have played hundreds of televised games, and surely some of them ended super fast. This ranges from BBS to mid game timing pushes. He's also done MnM + tank push against Protoss.

I think you misunderstood him. He was asking for a Terran player who uses Sauron Mech apart from Flash.

When doing siege expand, when should I add 3-5 factories? Like, when do I add the second and after that, when is a good timing for 3rd/4th?
|
There's different ways. You can either stay off 2 fact and saturate with SCV then add around 60 around 4 fact at once, or just add them asap as soon as you get more money. I know 5/6 is considered 'all-in', but if you do low scv if it fails you really do completely lose, but if you saturate you can comeback with some vult play and get an expo(maybe island on python etc...)

Has there ever been a game other than Jaedong vs Skyhigh where a terran floats a building over a ridge to cheese?

Boxer floated 3 rax into a zergs base and built firebats medics and marines I think.
