WOW

I'm watching the second one, and I cannot possibly believe how much this sucks. Here are the recommendations for "Advanced Drop Defense":

TvP:

1. Lay mines in your minline. That will blow up the things being dropped. Proceeds to show video of Terran succesfully PWNING a 2 dragoon drop by blowing them up with spider mines.....along with blowing up about 20 of his own scv's (!)
2. Have vults and Ghosts near minlines. Lockdown the units being dropped, and then lay mines around them. Then shows another 2goon drop (Apparently that's done all the time in PvT), followed by lockdown of the two goons (WHY NOT THE SHUTTLE WTF) and instead of killing them...laying MINES around them, which, you guessed it, blows up all his own SCV's. (Which don't run away or anything like that)

PvT:

3. Put HT near your minline against vult/tank drops. Okay, I'm thinking, storm them as they come down, maybe? Bad idea anyway in case they drop in your minline and you have to storm your own workers.

How wrong I was. What you are SUPPOSED to do is wait for the vults to lay mines in your minline, then THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! TAKE IT! HALLUCINATE THE TANK AND BE PROUD OF YOURSELF (I'm not kidding, that's what it actually says) and watch everything blow up. Or rather, in this video, hallucinate the tank TWICE, use up 200 energy, lose about 25 probes, and STILL have one vulture left unkilled.

Honestly, does the maker of this fucking video know anything about the point of minline drops? The point of these drops is to KILL WORKERS. When your anti-drop defense KILLS YOUR WORKERS FOR THEM, what's the point?
