Probes can still be hit by melee units when put in the right spot to block the gas though =P

I was in a build order tester and after hitting the benchmark that I wanted to hit I got bored and wanted to see how fast I could bring down my money by canceling structures. I had about 1k so I started doing it with CCs, then once I hit less then 400 I started building and canceling barracks, then supply depots, and then refineries. After a few times I noticed that the scv seemed to stop in the middle, so I tried to repeat the action. Not what you might expect  . | ||

By the time you have 4 cannons and a nexus you wont have units to defend against 5 rax. I doubt 5 rax would work in reality, but most likely not due to FFE. EDIT: Keep in mind that protoss heavily relies on sentries to hold early rushes (or stalkers kiting them from the T base). Sentries cost gas. | ||

The scv doesn't have to move across the center of the refinery, it can just move from one side to an adjacent side and if the refinery is cancelled at the correct time, the scv will be on top of the empty geyser. perhaps the specific refinery that you were testing works better than most at this? If so, there is a chance that at least 1 of the maps in the map pool have a main where the refinery is equally consistent. That would be interesting. | ||

This would let a terran play a little greedier in that turrets wouldn't need to be built against possible oracle/DTs and scans wouldn't need to be consumed to scout. | ||

There's a way to do it with drones as well, but it is even less practical | ||
