How do you stack hydras?

and why dont the pro's use it?

Also, does it take too long to set up to use in melee games?

If you use the search function I believe there is a UMS map to learn all the bugs in sc on and also a replay of someone completing it.

Hehe, I remember a game ages ago where an opponent of mine did this. Probably had 20 lings all stacked on top of each other.

One epic firebat of mine jammed a needle of drugs into his thigh, and murdered all of them in a few quick bursts of fiery death. It was hilarious, I saw his kills meter go from 0 to 18 almost immediately.
I admire your commitment to being *very* oily

Burrow one unit. Hotkey it 1 (or anything, but from now on, I'll just refer to it as 1)
Select the group you want to stack (has to be burrowable. Note, zerglings are harder to stack).
Press u ctrl+1 1 u

This'll glitch the game into thinking you unburrowed the hydras when in fact you haven't. If your group is still burrowed, you did it right. Select your burrowed group and right click it around. Your guys will now look messed up.

In a real game? All your zerglings can attack at once. I'd imagine the main use for this would be breaking ramps (let's say, 2 zealots block the ramp. Instead of fighting 2 or 3 zerglings at once, you'll have to fight all 12 or so)

You can stack burrowed lurkers legally, but they will unstack when you unburrow. (this is a pretty bad idea though)

Stacked lings early game is a huge advantage because like 20 of them can be attacking a zealot at once.

stacking 2 lurkers isnt a bad idea in zvt sometimes. on top of ramps they can rape with that 1 shot 1 kill and kill a few marines in 1 blow
