anyone seen this? The obvious "big problem" is that vultures generally plant mines in clusters of 2 or 3, so naturally 1 would hit the DT every time. That said, it can ONLY be beneficial to learn that spacing!

haha so fun to watch!!

I hate to say this but someone made a blog about this like a year ago... can't remember who but I'm sure someone will link it soon. Still a cool thing if you can do it.

Don't progamers kill mines with DTs all the time?

Am I missing something here ><

They kill them sometimes as they are being planted, not once they are already underground. Or they do it with a DT/shuttle, like Much did vs FBH.

I thought I read an interview somewhere with Legionnaire where he mentions that he used to practice something like this, but never got to use it in a televised game.

It's almost never used since you rarely know exactly where the mines are. If you have an observer you're better off using dragoons to clear out the mines or simply avoid running into them instead of doing risky micro stuff like this. I remember Legionnaire talking about how he knew about this and wished he could find an opportunity to actually use it in a game, but I guess he never succeded.

Lol i use dt's to kill mines as their planted all the time, its fun to frustrate the enemy. This is like that on steroids, it would be amazing if this was actually useful in a real game.

Uhh... plenty of time you see where the mine is but don't get there in time... or if there are multiple vultures laying multiples mines then you can only kill 1 or 2 and watch the 3rd go down.(talking about dt rush/drop here)
This could be really good :o if you can use it...

Only works because the DT automatically attacks the mine, because it can see it. Not a very practical technique!
