It's possible that Stork still would've lost even 1 minute later (he didn't have the best control), but the battle would've been much, much closer and hard to call. That's why it's called a timing attack. A Terran can also move out in a "timing push" against Protoss (e.g. vs fast 3 base), which becomes less effective the longer he waits. Jaedong's attack at that moment in time was far more powerful than it would've been 1 min or more later. It's not just 1-2 more sairs (build time 40 sec, not 60 sec), 2 cannons could've been added as well. Stork had like 6-7 cannons at his nat I think, so he's not afraid to add them although I don't know why he built them there. | ||

i got to talk to stork a bit afterwards, he was PISSSED as hell for losing. looked sooo sad. so glad you guys got to see my TL.net sign - i worked hard to get it on tv  it's 11pm and I just got home from the event - gonna post a blog in the morning i guess. or later tonight. took tons of pics. | ||

Assume the zealot has infinite energy. The zealot will kill the marines one by one. Suppose one marine dies per minute. What's the damage done at the end? First minute, there's X marines. Second minute, X-1, and so on. After all marines are dead, how much damage was done to the zealot? (X + X - 1 + X - 2 + ... ) worth of marine-minutes. That's quadratic in X (it's exactly X(X+1)/2). It basically means that the more units you have, the more effective each unit becomes. Divide the expression by X, and we see that each unit's individual efficiency linearly increases with the size of the pack. In other words, a marine among 10 is 5.5 times more effective than a marine by himself. EDIT: And oh, exponential is NOT the right term. Strictly speaking, exponential increase refers to 2^n or (some base)^n. Quadratic increase is the term you're looking for, although exponential does sound fitting. | ||

Aren't you only considering damage dealt tho? Corsairs are a different situation, because it is a splash based unit (unlike zeal) and survivability vs scourge (and muta) is very important to its effectiveness. I don't think you can put an exact number on how much improvement one corsair gives. | ||
