I'd much rather recall a bunch of probes into the terran's main, though, much funnier. Funny would be to recall them into base and then immediately out of base. | ||

I agree... Stasising SCVs is an absolutely horrible strategy. Only time I can see it working is in some sort of wierd late game situation where toss/terran mutually destroyed each other's economy and armies: Terran decides to bunker up, has few scvs, and only 1 active base. Protoss is in similar situation, has a few arbiters, and knows that terran isn't strong enough to push out nor is toss strong enough to break terran. | ||

To get 196 scvs, tech to mind control, then arbs. Make 1 arb. Then kill your da after starting many command centers. Max the rest of your supply out with scvs. No No Probably somewhere... | ||

However, if you have such easy access to his base, why not drop/recall a reaver/ht/dt instead? You might be able to take out a building or an add-on as well as some SCVs. | ||

...And stasising his own goons, and a heart of pylons filled with cannons. They're all good for harrass. | ||

I can think of one serious purpose: blocking a ramp. If the SCVs try to run away from the nat and they're all stacked up and running up a ramp, you can consider throwing a stasis on them to seal in the T and then go to town on his other expos. | ||

Freezing SCVs is an "absolutely horrible strategy." Stasis lasts for a helluva long time, and it can jack potentially hundreds of minerals. When you're looking for advice, watch out for people who don't know what they're talking about. Freezing a bunch of SCV's for a long time is DEFINITELY better than getting 2 vessels or 2 tanks. Although recall is better than stasis if you have the units and the proper location to recall at. Freezing tanks/vessels < Freezing SCVs < Recall | ||

I then lost the game to a massive push that was not stasis'ed once. | ||

Freezing tanks/vessels < Freezing SCVs < Recall I have a better idea. PvZ. Protoss should rush dark archons and maelstrom drones!!!! I'm a fucking genius!!! maelstrom ultralisk / devourers < maelstrom drones < mass observers / storm your own probes for supplies for more obs. | ||

Read every other post in this thread and maybe you'll notice that most people think that: Stasis mech > stasis scv... | ||
