It's really quite effective, and I see this working at low levels, where the average ZvP mindset is "Gotta get lots of roaches" Also, if you do what Minigun did, and do a slight engagement outside the natural, drawing the zerg units outside of his main, then blinking up into the main, then it's pretty much GG with the forcefields | ||

Heres a link to him doing it as well - miniguns FPPoV + Show Spoiler + On some maps, like antiga this can be really strong, and especially as zergs don't tend to go down the roach burrow movement as much anymore. As a zerg the only thing I can really think of is being more proactive with the ovie positioning to stop the blink up going unnoticed, but that may lead to just a straight hit on your natural and getting stuck inside your main instead. It seems that z's have to be a bit more aggressive with the map control they have and hit the toss army before it reaches their base. | ||

If you watch the video of minigun doing it, he stops the basetrade by warping in a couple of sentrys at his natural choke, and forcefielding the ramp. With cannons, forcefields and some stalkers warping, the base trade for zerg is no longer an option | ||

If he has 12+ roaches, it's a different story because the buildings fall fast then. That said, you can forcefield your main - but your natural will be gone. | ||

Watched a few of the replays and gave it a go... managed to win my first try (did enough damage with the blink in to roll it later), but my next few tries haven't been successful... although one loss was from a 6 pool! (who does that??) Anyway, appreciate the post, seems to be a very clever tactic. | ||

Its a matter of time when a) queens can destroy ff or b) ff can't be spelled on creep. or c) zerg lose automatically when fungal growth is cast. | ||

Lair-ultralisk cavern, please. J/k. But it seems quite powerful, though. I'm lolling with all the people saying 'easy way to beat this'. | ||
