ok, and I admit I exaggerated when saying it was "an absolutely horrible strategy".

It's simply sub-optimal to stasising terran's army in almost every situation.

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.

WTF are you saying? 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

If you don't Stasis the Terran army, you risk losing battles and your own units (and whatever expo they're defending). It's better to kill his army and win a battle, thus killing the expansion he was trying to defend, than to make him lose 300 or so minerals in the late game when he has 3 + bases mining. I can't think of any situation where it wouldn't be more practical to storm drop.

Your thinking is flawed. Stasising peons really is only useful in very peculiar once in a hundred game scenarios. I don't know if you're trying to be funny, but there's no place for humour in the strategy forum :O

Also, what the hell... a 4 page thread about stasising peons T.T

It happened in GOM Classic Season 3 in Backho vs Organ on A Garden of God, very late game situation, both on 1 base, Backho stasises Organs few SCVs still mining to ensure he gets the mineral intake lead.

Nebffa brings up one idea from me - if the stasis hits, like, half his SCVs, and cuts his mineral mining by over 30%, then I think it's probably worth it. Unfortunately, it's hard to get that many SCVs in one stasis unless he's drilling his SCVs.

The same could be said to you.

You're far worse than him.
Being healthy, it has been said, really consists of having the same disease as everybody else.
