If I am not misunderstanding its name, what you need is to build a building that isn't completed to block the way instead of a completed building, and cancel the building if you want to release them to battle field.

It's still feeding. The basic units won't make any difference whatsoever in battle. Timing matters more, as I have said before. The extra bounty you're giving to your opponent isn't worth the extremely low dps you're doing with small murlocs. Plus, late game, most things do aoe damage, further making murlocs useless.

hrhr, you have to read and think instead of somehow angry. I didn't and never said that Murlocs is the only unit type that can do a cage, and when you mention about "cage", like murlocs, it won't charge all of the space in its theory speed, because units will block themsleves to appear in the cage side. So the best way to use cage is always producing units to keep constant units flow + adding trap units, to do extra damage output is just a benifit from units original concept.

It is also a chance to show that I understand cage straegy pretty well, they don't think I know most of things they said and part of it is totally wrong as far as I know.

But if you do semi-trapping you don't use murlocs. Semi-trapping actually won the first CF tourney. you build a section with certain units (shaman is a big one) let their buffs build up and then release, they are then effectively "super" units. Very effective early game 3 on 1 lane and other lane gets staff. If the initial pushes of the semi trapping don't work you get screwed though.

I don't kow that shaman will do anything buff when they are trapped nowadays. How it works? I played CF only after 1.09.

youonly trap them for a little while, and then you release the for a huge push.

are you sure you watched the tournament replays? semi-trapping with builder was patched before the finals, so it didn't win the tournament. and all the competent teams went all 4 build one lane, virtually always the same lane as the opponents, so no staff needed.

I didn't watch the finals, but seeing as how that was how it was won mostly I assumed that was the case.
