Resulting from that trick, against a 4 gate you can only place "middle forcefields" and "low forcefields", if you place a forcefield too high, he'll just gain vision of your high ground and warp in. (note: you need to stand on one of the edges of the high forcefield with a small unit such as a probe or a zealot (not stalker) to gain vision to the high ground). This trick brought many victory many times against people who weren't that knowledgeable in the placement of the forcefield and then I just warped up the ramp and the game was over. And you always need to place the perfect middle forcefield against observerless blink pressures. As a phoenix player I experience them a lot and it's a priority skill to have as a phoenix player to place that forcefield just right against a blink pressure. Also you must know in advance of it coming but you won't have enough time to forcefield when he's already near your ramp. This means you need to keep a scouting unit either at Xel'naga tower or if not possible at the bottom of the ramp to see those blink stalkers coming and put a middle forcefield to hold them. Nice trick though, it will might make 4 gate harder to hold on sentry relying strategies and allow to bypass forcefield for an obless blink player. | ||

But this trick shows that even a perfect middle forcefield doesn't hold a blink all-in ? I don't understand what you wrote I think | ||
