No. The forge was built at pretty much the same time the pylon was. They never actually show mini's base during that time period, but if you watch his minimap, at 5:18 in the VOD, there's only the Nexus in his base. 5 seconds later, at 5:23, another blue dot, the forge, appears below it, at the exact same time that the pylon finishes. I can't say for sure his intentions for that pylon, but the forge was definitely there before the pylon went down. May I present counter evidence to yours and evidence to my initial proposition: Therefore, unless mini was planning to go canon-powering pylons first before warping the forge (he forgot? maybe true. he doesn't know the timing? definitely not true.) there is no way that pylon is for canons, It must have been for battery as mini still has army advantage at this time and was losing only because storks probes and zealots are immortal. Thanks for listening/reading,. There was perhaps a possibility that Mini wanted to build a forge at Stork's natural for some sort of sim-city against a zealot breakout. But when I watched the game a battery seemed like the more reasonable decision. It would've certainly depended on what his probe saturation looked like. Probably not enough to make forge/cannon while matching Stork's zealot production. Since I don't play anymore I can't really recall what Mini's economy would've been like at the time. My guess is your scenario is more likely given that he probably cut a lot of probes for his proxy gates. | ||
