I studied how scvs can attack a morphing creep colony underneath the overmind.

There are two places to morph a creep colony for each overmind. I studied the one which is harder to defend when you do a wall-in.

Here is a result.
The red circles represent a position where you can click a creep colony.

top left [image loading]
top right [image loading]
bottom right [image loading]
bottom left [image loading]

As you can see, 6-7 SCVs can simultaneously attack a creep colony, but
when you do a wall-in, only 3 scvs can attack it from your side of the wall.

The time required for 3 scvs to kill a sunk is roughly equal to the time for a full health creep colony to morph into a sunk. So you can surely kill it if you start attacking it before it starts to morph a sunken colony.

You have to send scvs to a correct position before you give them an attack command, otherwise, they often fail to find the position to attack and just stop.

Now you can defend sunk rush!

The easy way to remember this:

It always works to attack from above and from below.
If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid* (*Or: You are stupid for losing to it, and gotta git gud)

I said it before - luckily this map will soon be forgotten and never played again.

I think someone posted recently that blizzard will just restart rankings for next season, because their team is currently in lack of mappool specialist to prepare a new one. Looks like hail to the ringing bloom and veto system.

They are in lack of everything, sadly.

i don't understand why people complain about sunk rush in this map. if you know what to do it's a free win:

"It's the end of the BW era which i devoted everything to for 10 years. I tried playing sc2, but my BW memories run too deep; I felt like I was playing an entirely different game" -ToSsGirL
