It looks like he walks the dt until it's just out of reach of the mine, then walks it in and pushes hold position at the perfect time to stop the dt exactly (with the delay in mind) beside the mine giving it just enough time to slash it.

Looks cool. I'm going to try this out myself.

Seems he just placed the dt close enough so that it was in aggressive range. Not to be confused with attack range, we all know dts are melee units with no range. I don't know what it's actually called, but I'm calling it aggressive range here. It's when an enemy unit gets too close so your unit follows it and tries to kill it (unless your unit is in hold position). What My_Digital_Toss did was get the dt close enough with the mine so the dt would attack the mine on its own. Notice how after the dt gets close to the mine, no extra actions are ordered. The reason he kept pressing stop prior to the dt moving in to kill the mine was because he didn't want the dt to get too close, causing the mine to set off. I'm guessing the range of a mine setting off and the aggressive range of dts are pretty similar, so some precision is needed.

How do you get the idea of 'hold position' being involved?
He just moves towards the mine step by step until it attacks.
Should be useful sometimes, but normally you either don't have observers yet (dt rush) or you actually _want_ the mine to go off (later in the game).

Look closely, he never clicks on the mine. Notice how the "stop" button is pressed. He walks just in range of the dt's auto attack and hits "stop" so then the dt automatically goes after the mine without triggering it first. This obviously wouldn't work with multiple mines that are close enough to each other though, which is often the case.

Am I right?

Nope, patrol it is never hit. What the video shows is what was said above, he puts the templar close enough that it automatically switch from the 'stop' position to 'attack' without direct command from the player.

T_T afaik i invented the dt vs mines 3 years ago when i was in POS. I actually had a UMS to practice it on, bejjang kept telling me i was wasting my time, but i thought it was fun

Always wanted to win a game by using dts/obs vs mines in a tv match but i never had the opportunity.

You will notice that attacking from a diagonal position, mines pop up a lot earlier, but not from directly on the side, or if the dts a fraction above it. There is also a way to do it with attacking the mines.

Pretty useless if there are multiple mines around :S
My hope is one day stupid people will feel the same pain when they talk, as the pain the rest of us feel when we hear them. Twitter: @Legionnaire_au

hmm my favourite is dt surviving 3mines hit,i did it 100+ times,but this dt killings mines...i did it once on bladestorm,i just sent my dt to his exp and on his way there he had to pass mine field,strangely when a mine ran onto him he simply killed it. we didn't share vision,i didn't have obs to c the minefield,or w.e so guess my dt used hax! perhaps i did it more times but didn't notice. i'm not sure how does dt manage to kill the mine before it hits him,could be the angle or w.e
