There are a few other perks to gateway expos. For starters, you have units faster, so you get those sentries earlier and gain an incremental advantage over time due to having energy units. Another benefit is that you can get a stalker out sooner, which lets you deny scouting (or at least get 100/200 minerals for free by shooting down a sac overlord or two). This puts the zerg a bit more in the dark than usual. Yes, they're going to see if you have an expo building and other stuff on the low ground, but that's about all the info they get without paying tangible resources for it, and doing so at an earlier time than usual. And you also have a significantly faster tech, so you can get ridiculously fast stargate or robo or twilight, and that leads to sick timings in a lot of cases. I like the FFE, but I don't think it's strictly better than gateway openings. edit: I'm diamond, if it matters. | ||

Sentry expands do not die to Speedling all-ins if you hit your Forcefields. True, but at the end of the day you will not have perfect forcefields every game, not even pros get perfect ff's every game. The defence is possible but a build with a luck factor is never ideal. | ||
