uh he isnt doing anything but running away and turning at the angles that will result in the most scourge being farther away after the turn...he even gets hit once or twice...

Uh, wtf? So you're just saying 'make more sairs!'? That's stupid lol

That Mutalisk Control link looks good, but it's probably something you'll pick up from experience once you get the gist (you can't really memorise the correct angle :p).

We're not talking about computers here, I hope.


it's not about playing computers, it's about tricking the AI that controls the scourge. So it works if your opponent just selected his scourge and right-clicked on your unit. Which is what most people do.

they get confused so, so rarely in my games that I wonder :/ I always get hit when I do the "chinese triangle" but it works fine in UMS. I think the computer just can't micro


Note that the "chinese triangle" only works for the attack-move AI of scourge. If an 'attack' command is given to a specific unit with scourge, there is no way to trick the AI.

OMG, i feel i'm soooo noob now, i didnt even know about these triangles, and even now that i read about it i'm sure i couldnt use it, it looks far too difficult.

Don't worry, these triangles aren't too vital to gameplay. Patrol is usually a much more effective form of micro of muta vs scourge.
Then again, with the scourge and shuttle, I had no idea either.

And above, that isn't true. Patrol tricks their AI into slowing down.

Everyone I know uses 'attack' when they engage mutas with their scourge (as in, right click the muta with the scourge), I don't know anyone who microes their scourge using patrol, so this probably never comes into effect.

That's doesn't really make sense.

wait, were you referring to me?

I don't recall anything about making more sairs, and I don't think anyone had mentioned it because it's outright stupid. I was just referring to the rainbow video because it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw those triangles.

it seems like no1 has a real idea and is jsut shootin shit lol. very good question though i think it has to deal with slow turns not turning to sharp and i think the sourge will just follow, make it a slightly 2 sharp and scourge will gain distance
savior did nothing wrong
