I don't like the idea, personally. Scouts would be sexy against those overlords and mutas, but just because Nal_rA and kingdom used scouts doesn't mean they're gosu and everyone else should use them. where is everyone getting this idea from...? These guys are pro's for a reason ~~

Anyway, I just think hydra would rape the strat... It might have better luck against something like mutaling.

Not at all, scouts r just too expensive, make it zealot carosairs and some storms , then it might work

The only problem with this strat, is the fact that scouts move slower than mutas, they cost 3 times as much(literally), they do less damage, they shoot slower, their attacks don't bounce, and they can't be built in waves

1v1? No.

But the surprising thing is, this actually works on FFA.

Since Zeals are the fastest land unit, and Scouts are very very fast, you can defend all your stuff very easily, but just placing your units near the middle of all of your expansions, and moving out to defend one when its attacked. Unless you are hugely over extended, it works. It requires basically no micro, so you can just focus on macroing from 3-5 expos.

Once you get 3 control groups of Scouts, they can be deadly as harrassers, because the only air counter to scouts is Valkyries. (Thirty-six Scouts can beat any air force. And if they, for some bizarre reason, are losing, they can outrun any other air unit.) Scouts are far more manueverable than any ground unit(i.e. they can out run Goliaths, etc.). And Zeals provide the backup for other stuff. Scouts and Zeals aren't incredibly powerful - they probably couln't take on a well-rounded Terran force of Tanks, Turrets, and Goliaths - but they are a decent combination, and they require very little micro (you just use attack move with Zeals, and move / attack move with Scouts).

Ah, but let me re-iterate:

1v1? No.
Give me immortality, or give me death!

What do you mean 'when you were a newb'?
