I thought it was generally understood that the "Strategy" forum included discussions on both strategy and tactics. Where else would you post it? EDIT: Another cool thing about MC's forcefields, which is not evident in these screenshots, is that they rarely overlap. Lots of really really good protoss (squirtle, huk) overlap forcefields and use a lot more than necessary in the early game. The only P's Ive seen that consistently cast their forcefields end to end are Tester MC, and Nony. I think this is why these guys can seemingly forcefield forever no matter how many sentries they have. | ||

With MC's sentry-heavy play, using pure forcefields to trap the units is viable. Only problem is if you mess up a few of those FFs, some of the units may escape. | ||

Sometimes I'll do this to trap intimidating amounts of melee units and hit them with stalkers or sentries, which is another (similar) use  Divide and conquer ftw! | ||

The only thing is, that you're used to seeing FF's which divide the armies in half, so that you're not getting hit by all the units at once. However, in this case, MC felt he could wipe out his army outright, so instead of cutting in half he made sure they did not escape and also focused them. So yeah, I don't think much discussion necessary. Good use of FF's. Period. This isn't really about reducing dps of Terran (cutting army in half or making sure that bioball cant stutter step) its about maximizing your own dps. More units closer together=more damage from colossus/storm AOE on less shots | ||

Sentries are in a wonderful niche right now. They're great defensive units, save minerals for expansion, then grow better with time to provide invaluable tactical advantage. This means they're going to get nerfed. | ||
