I got inspired watching Effort destroy Sangho by dropping him 8 jillion times on Neo Medusa so I decided to try it on Iccup.

First Drop:

Why doesn't he leave...

To be honest, looking at those shots makes me want to switch over to Zerg.

Pretty nice
I have to start dropping more, since it works really well on lower levels imo.

Yes, noone expects doom drops from zerg now so it works really well. It used to be a viable strat and is relatively easy to pull off.

spoiler please.

Also, doom dropping works very well as zerg against protoss. I do it pretty often.

I was going to make a strategy post on how to doom drop but I guess I can ask it here instead. What's the mechanics for doing a doom drop so that your ovies keep moving? Do you press shift+u on all your overlords really quickly?

tbh it'd be alot more impressive if you weren't 2.8k of mins at 3 bases at 12 mins into the game..But I'm glad you had fun :p

Clicking on the Overlord, hitting u, and clicking on him again will make it drop while moving (if it drops all the units before it reaches its destination of course) I don't know why you would want to press shift + u, I imagine that would queue unload and defeat the purpose.

The most reliable way is to just do that on all of them while they are moving. The other method is pressing u and clicking in the middle of your overlords but in my experience it's really hard if not impossible to ensure every single overlord will continue moving. Granted if it's a massive drop I won't bother trying to manually unload, if it's more than 5 or 6 overlords it's probably better to try to click the middle of them and if one or two stop deal with it individually.

Max rank only C-, I was focusing too much on watching my drops, my APM sucked. Most of my losses come from this (And DT drops which he actually did and killed lots of drones :< why can't the game warn me even if drones die in 1 hit ><)

My minerals were up since the third was mineral only, and I didn't even have enough gas even for hydras so I decided to take a 3rd gas but forgot to add extra hatches as well ;;

I just did the 3 Hatch Spire -> 5 Hatch Hydra build, got second gas and started researching overlord stuff (I think this is what Effort did too)

Thanks a lot. I'll test these out in single player until I can do it well instead of failing on iccup.

Wow that was pretty ownage haha. I find myself dropping all the time in ZvP because once they are just waiting and building up their 200/200 army at their natural Zerg can't try to bust through the front without losing twice as much as he gains. All you gotta do is contain his natural while he builds up and with good macro and unit placement you should be able to spare a few ovies full of units every now and then for drops.
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.
