EPTanyone 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!!
An interesting DT tactic

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. | ||

i guess the only time this would be worth it is if its elimination race, terran has just a few non floatable buildings left protected by mines and you have only 1 DT and no shuttle | ||

You just have to know where it is though. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=59987 | ||

I used to see this often when i started playing, cuz I would go DTs almost every game. Every now and then, a dt would just casually kill a mine without getting hurt, and I would never understand how. This video, and another one makes it quite clear. The other video is nice too. It tell u to move the dt to stand right in front of the mine and press Hold. Either techniques are incredibly hard to use in game. | ||
