On the other hand, getting a drone/probe worker kill with 5 people watching isn't bad for one's ego and demoralization of the opponent. Sometimes, weakening the worker can lead to a kill later at the mineral line, or at least mess up your opponents timing. Mind games. By the way, for those of you that doubt. I demonstrate this tactic can be done against the average player: http://www.battlereports.com/viewreplays.php?replaynum=32699 Statistics: Teh]i[(Z) 401 APM Yormom(T) 170 APM *Observers: 3 *Map: Blue Storm | ||

A general click timing that I established was : clickclickH-clickclickH-clickclickH, the clicks being right clicks away from the SCV i'm attacking. This seems feasible in a real game, although at the point in the game where killing an scv with a drone could be deemed to be useful (ie. early game), you only have 1/2 overlords available to hold with; using one of them might detract a bit from your scouting It does seem a bit easier to do with hold though. Just my two cents. If anyone wants me to upload a rep using hold I will. | ||

Just get close to the scv, attack, move a little bit, hit "s", and the drone will stop and spin around and attack the scv, repeat. :D I was able to do it with 30 HP left :D I tried this method at first, but I found that half the time the drone would stop moving, not do anything, and when the SCV attacked it just run away using stupid worker AI | ||

Dr.Kill-Joy, and any others who are having trouble using hold, I made this shabby FPVOD of me doing it on Extra High Latency. Flame as necessary | ||

I started moving and hitting "a" and clicking behind the drone (like when you micro goons, move back, attack-move anywhere(usually in the same direction), move back again) and repeat) and it worked better :D I played on ICCup and used this method with probes on SCVs and one guy left cause I killed his SCV in this way. :D | ||
