Hydra into mutas makes going mass sentries very unfavorable since hydras eat sentries alive so fast. | ||

"I activate guardian shield on TEN sentries, giving me TWENTY RANGED ARMOR!" "oh, I attack you with 10 ultralisks" "I activate storm on TEN high templar, doing EIGHT HUNDRED DAMAGE!" think, man | ||

This cuts down the initial blow of the muta from 9 to 7, then the second shot from 3 to 1 and the last shot still doing 1 damage. This is the only important part of the whole debate. Forget mass sentry or the cost associated with it. A single sentry protecting a group of stalkers will hold off the mutas just fine. You will probably need closer to 3 tho because they would likely be target attacked by the mutas. | ||

If you could give date and preferably time I would be very grateful =) I wrote the comment minutes after the match, so it ends around February 27 2010 04:29 TL time. Translating TL time to Livestream time should not be difficult. Match is worth seeing. | ||

Forcefields can overlap and do not have to be placed next to each other perfectly. Massing sentries is all good, but if your opponent comes at you with unit combinations other than mass muta, you're basically going to have to use force fields to stall for a while in order to buy time to get more units. | ||

Funny thing is, they were almost right. Chrono Boost got nerfed, and this build used it heavily to pump Phoenixes quickly from one Stargate. | ||
