Because that's a total waste of resources and apm. I can't stand that Mana style of dropping 20 gates. You can't produce off that many.
It's way more efficient to use a lower number of gates. Only time the mass gates is important is when cooldown is a factor. And considering Kiwi owned the whole map cooldown was not important. He played it correctly.
only making 3 collossi when 6k 3k and 130 supply is not how you play anything.
What does collosus count have to do with gates? Pretty sure he never had only 3 collossi and he was at 200 virtually the entire time.

I think the biggest waste of resources is when you have 5k/2k floating for the last 10 minutes of a game and you don't use it at all.
The reason you produce so many gates is so you can instantly remax and roll over the opponent after trading armies with him.

San, Sage, half of NSHeoSeo.
I don't know who any of them are and I follow the Korean scene a lot. Maybe I completely missed them or they aren't good examples.

Both code B, wouldn't call them too successful. San was alright a while ago, and Sage has been doing well in the Korean Weeklies, but besides that they haven't done much.
Tyler, after a pause and wondering if they would need to remake the game because of wrong map: "I have really done an excellent job with my probes I would not want to restart"

He was only making 3 collossi when he should be using his 8 gates to remax his army and should have had more gates tbh. The 3 collossi was all that was in his production tab, and this was after that initial army trade. He was at 130. There's a playback bar on your VOD player, use it.
