In MSL Ro16. Kwanro had the honor or being the first to get slaughtered by Lomo's Terran Mutalisks. This one is a MUST WATCH for everyone. =) so gogogoo watch it right now! (scroll down)

+ Show Spoiler +
If going offensively while being poor is scissors, and being balanced and choosing a fairly standard build is rock, and taking lots of expansions while sacrificing an army is paper, Lomo faked being a paper while going scissors.

Upon discovering Lomo's wall-in, Kwanro assumed that his opponent would be doing a double command, like anyone would. He thus chooses and even larger paper by going 3 hatch and taking his natural as well as 7 oclcok's natural. something we haven't seen in a very long time.

Meanwhile, Lomo is actually teching straight to double starports for a major wraith harass. And the soil looks fertile for reaping as Kwanro doesn't even start a pool until after his 3rd hatch and even building a hydra den as late as his spire. Lomo cast the bait and Kwanro bit like a fish that was starved over the weekened while you went to Tahoe.

No words will ever substitute for the actual control and flash of the real deal so i will just say this. Finally when the spire finished, out of all 16+ scourge that were in play the entire game 0 hit any wraiths. total "wraith rape" from there... and the coup de grace was a beautiful sunken removal by the wraiths and the infantry just had to nudge the already baren zerg.

I'll say it was like Jaedong manifested within Lomo's body.

Mmm, imo this is greatly exaggerated. Saying this game was like rock paper sissors is exactly right. Lomo got really lucky in the draw =/ Wraith micro is a lot easier than you think. It's actually just patrol (I tried it myself earlier today).

Wraiths are still paper planes that cost a lot of money, and take a long time to mass...

IMO not a very good game. Boxer's wraiths are much better

Wow, this should be used more often! Ofc wraith micro isn't the most impressive but just executing the strategy was very cool. It definitely should be used like mutas are used vs terran sometimes depending on map :D

Well it is very luck based, 8 out of 10 times I think this tactic will fail, we saw Flash use it not long ago, it didnt work out.

It's nice to see a progamer with good wraith control for once.

i was thinking about the paper planes that wraiths are... what if you had a small group of marines outside the enemy base while ur harassing with wraiths, and u can have an scv within the group of marines to repair them while getting protection from the marines?

it wouldn't be too costly since u have a few marines and maybe few mech units out anyway, and it would just be one or two scv's. this way with good wraith control u can keep at an attack provided you have good control for minimizing damage taken.

of course wraiths period don't really work well the majority of the time. so i'm talking about when a wraith harass is already feasible, but just adding this touch of sustainibility in order to enhance the wraith harass. thoughts?

Every single post on the first page and the second page before yours says OLD POST.
And right before you post, it warns you that it's over two months old and you shouldn't bump without good reason.

Wraiths take a really long time to repair - better to use them while you have them. The point is keeping pressure on, can't do that while you're repairing.
