You really think he was specifically saying "OK I NEED TO MICRO THESE FORCEFIELDS TO STOP INFESTORS FROM COMING IN"? is that somehow farfetched? | ||

No, he was abusing the fact that he had a t1.5 unit that could change map terrain and block off 80% of an entire zerg army from attacking. He didn't give a damn if there were infestors there. He spam clicked across the choke and won a fight he should have had no chance in. This man speaks the truth. | ||

Except you could see him deliberately putting the forcefields right in front of the infestors as they tried to move forward, and exactly at the right range they could neural parasite... | ||

A sentry army backed int a corner with colossi and you act like creating a FF wall was unexpected. | ||

With proper micro this kind of situation can be avoided imho | ||

Agreed. I always felt like FF was such an awkward mechanic to have in a Starcraft game, I am surprised it still hasn't been removed. | ||

Except as I said already if he goes into the fight with infestors burrowed then FF cannot counter them, sure he loses a few seconds if WhiteRa just sat and dribbled but that was never going to happen. | ||

Bad games, probably not. HD/Husky are decent commentators, why a lot of people start playing SC2. Largest prize pool, probably not. World cup should have a larger prize pool. | ||
