EPTOr play on a map big enough so that you can attack where the army isn't, and never go head-on until broodlords and/or ultra's are out.

Yeah I mean that makes sense. But in the few seconds it takes you to slowly move underground he's just raining hell on your units. Guess I'll just keep looking more unit muta strats | ||

So yeah, I don't think much discussion necessary. Good use of FF's. Period. | ||

It's cool to see MC push the boundaries with FF usage. His anti-Terran, sentry-heavy, anti-bunker push against Terran shows some genius use of FF against defending Terran bunkers, and it's cool seeing him maximize the use of FF in conjunction with Colossi. I, for one, look forward to seeing what else these creative players can do with the FF on the canvas that is SC2. | ||

If they get too close, they get sniped, and if you have units to tank, you might end up throwing away too much of your army. | ||

I'm always a bit weary of using that amounts of sentries though, against some strategies sentries are near useless and they can simply cause an autoloss imo. For example if your opponent goes mech then having such a high amount of sentries is simply terrible, against some raven/banshee pushes it can also be pretty bad. One of the better ways to deal with this style is also simply mixing in some blue flame hellions with the MMM, sentry heavy armies are also zealot heavy by default (or light on tech) in which blueflame hellions will always do well. | ||

Well god, obviously you don't use sentries against mech. You don't just blindly make a bunch of sentries. And if you open a 3 gate sentry heavy army, you're still going to be able to transition out of sentries when you scout he's going mech. | ||

Toss in like 3+ months will find their hidden ass power once they start adding sentries into their late game for heavy FF play | ||

Literally put FFs around July's entire army and then blunk into the doughnut on top of them. It was pretty filthy. | ||
