Damn, it's amazing that new stuff of this level of significance is still being discovered 20 years into this game.

Why would this be beneficial for M&M but not mass Goliaths? Most of the time when you go Carriers there are 1 million Goliaths. I think this would help a lot against Goliaths also.

because if you get close enough to do this vs goliaths the goliaths will snipe carriers more easily

May be a different story when combined with storm though.


I think it makes a significant difference but depends on the armor upgrade as well.

The problem is they ususally have at least 5+ carriers, and terrran barely has upgrades for bio units or air units in TvP matchup. So it would be much easier against some odd carrier counter build (bio rush, secret mass wraiths, vulture tank big timing attack) and crazy good with worker harrassment (not just backstab to kill his CCs but also workers, especially on some maps with air space) since they can spread the damage to many units at the same time.

Stork is known as the best carrier user in the pro scene, maybe not as much these days but his carriers in like 2007-2011 were basically unbeatable for most terrans so I assume they're making a point that he knew about this and hid it hence why he was so good.

He was so abusive on them, and then combo'd with maps like Katrina... I actually found myself rooting for Flash against him. The mistakes we make in youth.

In PvZ I don't think this is going to change things significantly, but in the extremely rare case that carriers become useful it could certainly have an impact on the outcome.
In PvT however this is nothing to sneeze at. Just the fact alone that an entire SCV line can be erased so much faster (watch FBH's video to see the difference) could increase carrier lethality by a lot. It also potentially makes m&m builds that counter prematurely discovered carrier builds much weaker. Against wraiths it could also be useful.
Against goliaths however I don't think it'll make a meaningful difference, because in that scenario it's very important for carriers to stay alive, and SH micro puts them at significant risk.
If you want to do the right thing, 80% of your job is done if you don't do the wrong thing.

actually it is most significant in PvZ imho; in terms of fighting and unit compositions - the only thing why it hardly matters is that Carriers are a fringe unit in PvZ (on ground maps)

m&m builds vs carriers are usually extremely rare; wraiths builds a bit less rare but also very rare

It is good vs what you described and I agree that vs goliaths specifically the old style will be used due to bigger range and one shotting gols

Imagine if some day someone finds out how to do this kind of anti-overkill/smart targeting with sieged tanks...

People have figured it out. It's called "focus fire"
No but seriously, that's what every good terran has been doing for many years in every matchup.

Nice find and thank you for translated video.

Is there a vod of this method being used while going scouted 2base carrier vs terran who goes for marine medic counter?
FBH's video showed it's very effective in larger numbers but typically you would only have 4 carriers when moving out (or even only two if you know it's scouted).
And usually mm is ment to kill interceptors rather than carriers.
