In Kas' situation, after killing those 3 stalkers, a sensor tower wouldve been perfect though | ||

Thus with 5 Sentries when the first Sentry to throw down a FF has enough energy for another FF right before the 5th FF expires on the ramp. And thus the second Sentry has enough energy after the 6th FF expire. And so on. It isn't really dependent on multitasking and all your Sentries don't need to have anymore than 50 energy to start with. Having a 6th sentry will just lead to energy pooling up. | ||

In Kas' situation, after killing those 3 stalkers, a sensor tower wouldve been perfect though I've tested it, if you make a sensor tower right when you know 1 base blink stalker comes there's no way you lose unless you don't make marauders with concussive shells. | ||

(i guess) fraer simply didnt have enough gas, 1 sentry is 100 guys, a forcefield doesnt last as long as 100 gas from 1 base is being mined, not nearly  | ||

At least we never heard of that Thorzain guy again... ThorZain was a god at preparing. He made up builds that we hadn't really seen before vs Fruitdealer, it was pretty amazing. (super fast 3 cc on terminus, outmacroing a zerg) Plus, FD was already falling off, and there was a lot of controversy about lag. | ||

Nothing at that point really. it takes 90 seconds in game to build up 50 energy. A FF lasts 15 seconds in game. Therefore, he would need 600 gas to do it, which he didn't have | ||

Thought so. JonnyRecco is 16, he's damn good, and you're going to be hearing plenty more about him. | ||

Having a 6th sentry will just lead to energy pooling up. It depends on how much your FFs overlap. 5 you have to be near-perfect at judging the timing. WIth 6 you can throw one or two down ealry if you know you're gonna have to micro for a bit and still have enough energy. | ||
