Edit: Ok maybe not tonight, I swear it's lik 2 degrees here in Melbourne, my hands are frozen. Maybe tomorrow. Any tips on stoving a zerg? It's essentially the same strat yeah? But perhaps more effective because a scout can hit a lot harder on the overlords? | ||

But perhaps more effective because a scout can hit a lot harder on the overlords? in general corsair are more effective for overlord hunting than a scout. This build is really optimal if your opponent has a later lair and if he got a hydra den your scout better be out quickly enough and your micro better be good... | ||

However, I'm curious as to how effective it would actually be from first glance it doesn't seem like it would entirely effective. But on the other hand, it leaves you vulnerable especially to a FD Push. Because one scout cannot clean up 5 Marines. and is there any good late game or good follow-up for it? In case you fail? you do this to people youre sure you can beat. though i did see some A+ Korean do this to super(china) and kill him pretty damn easy with it.. | ||

You get to see scout, dark templars, arbiter stasis and 2 recalls all in under 15 minutes of game. This game was played yesterday in iccup. :D very funny! http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=23004 | ||

It's good stuff to use Scouts. I used like 4-5 of them once when I knew I was beat against a hardcore smurf Korean. So I decided to make Scouts for the lol factor. I seriously was laughing a bit while losing bad. Killed a bunch of tanks, a dropship, 4 vultures, and a couple marines with em tho  . | ||

http://sclegacy.com/feature/4-pp/269-pimpest-plays-2002#13 in short: "The origins of The Stove is sketchy. Proct is the generally accepted inventor of the strategy. Proct played a person by the Battle.net name TheStove, who used the first two stages of the strat. He then added on the Arbiter part and named the strat The Stove. A NoHunter player by the name of Nate claims to be TheStove." and yes.... it is was a pimpest play... | ||

I did it to a terran though and it worked beautifully. I didn't hide the tech, lost my scout to turrets, wasted the dts, and he thought I was a total noob so he pushed out as my arbiter reached 150 energy. It was really funny. | ||
