Man those forcefields are more or less useless now that roach range is huge.

Roach has always been ridiculous cost for cost especially against protoss.

Their only downside is the 3 range, which doesn't matter much until the unit balls start getting big.

CHEESE FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


Forge FE is cheese!

Wait what.


Cannoning rushing again isnt cheese? K keep telling yourself that.

He only put up a cannon at his nat after his cheese failed.

Try harder.


My bad, a perfectly visible worker building a cannon in front of the other player to stop an expansion going down is cheese.

My last comment regarding cheese:

Yes it is. Why? Cause it's a failed cheese which results in losing when your opponent plays well.


Kiwi lost because he did a forge FE which no longer works in 1.1.2 with the roach buff.


Why doesn't it work? Hydras have more range in BW and its a very viable strategy. Maybe it Kiwi spent more time mining and not placing useless pylons/cannons he would have been in a better position.

roaches have 65 more hp and 1 more armor plus beat zlots
hydras lost to zlots in low #s


You can get a huge amount of hydras with a 3h allin hydra bust, and slow zealots wouldn't do much against the upgraded zealots.

I don't think forge FE is a dead strategy, I just think Kiwi's progression in the game lead him to die against Idra's mass roach rush. Everything Idra did forced Kiwi to build unnecessary buildings that may have been used for forward cannons/units that could have held that attack off.

you can get a huge amount of roaches too? same cost apart from supply, so in effect its 100/25 when factoring OL's. 2 hatch with queen in sc2=3hatch in BW. and its not really that zlots actually beat hydras its just that they tanked really well. if hydras rushed to kill cannons zlots could attack, if hydras attacked zlots cannons got free shots off and toss got more time to tech/cannon up because zlots could eat ~25 hits each from hydras.


Obviously if you are ready you can easily die, I just think its too early to call whether the strategy is dead based on one game where Kiwi made many mistakes and Idra played flawlessly. Zealots won't stop the hydras in the bust, the cannons do and I think its probably the same against the roaches. Even if you lose gateway/forge you still have the cannons to defend your expansion.

Either way, forge expand can still be viable opening on certain maps and positions. Gateway openings in those positions probably would have been better. Kiwi is a micro player and definitely plays better when he is on the aggressive and is able to dictate.
