Had a game last night that I could have won, but I made a huge mistake with my micro and blew the comeback. It was a Protoss vs. Protoss on Lost Temple and I scouted my opponent doing a Forge/Cannon wall-in in his base. I assumed he was going for late-game air and decided to quickly tech to Warp Gates and Immortals for a wall-break. I was wrong. He proxied four Gateways between our bases and went all-in with Zealots.

I was completely caught off guard with the absolute wrong unit mixture. I managed to hold off the initial rush, but lost a lot of probes. I warped in four Sentries and starting force-fielding my ramp--four Sentries can block a ramp forever--while I trained a Warp Prism for a drop in his main base to cripple him.

Everything was going great until I misplaced a force-field. I needed to drop two at a time to keep the Zealots out and didn't have enough gas for another Sentry! I got Steamrolled by the 20+ Zealots he had been constantly making. Honestly, had I gotten to his main, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep the force-field wall going while also attacking his base. Intense!
