Please please make this in SC2 general, this really really needs to be seen and tested by a large group of people, and that place is not SC2 custom map forums

I've just tested this on Xel'naga and I can easily break one pylon and kill the canons with a surround before they complete.

However if your opponent builds the canons flush against the pylons then only one cannon can be destroyed before they complete and the Protoss can simply place another canon or pylon to complete the wall.

kind of interesting, but i can't remember the last time i've seen a cannon block at the bottom of a ramp.

the only use i can think of this is to stop the wall off on tal'darim altar.
is there anything else?

edit: yea this is way overrated...

So I'm still not clear on how well this work against the Terran wall-in? The 'Toss wall-in is a real pain in the butt, but its expensive to the Protoss player. In contrast, a Terran generally has a Marine or two and if they do this early enough... say with a 10 rax, Zerg is still in deep trouble. I think that by the point you're walled in you'll only have 15 or 16 Drones.... would that be enough to destroy the bunker before Terran has too many marines out?

People at a lower level of play won't be able to understand that if their opponent puts 3 pylons at the bottom of their ramp that they can do this little trick. They most likey will box all their workers and attack they pylons doing basically nothing.

Ok, I tried it. It can work, but a lot of times it won't. It depends on where you spawn on the map. When I was on the top position in metal it worked fine. But when I was on the left side my drones would go to the corner of my main base instead of stacking up in front of the pylon.

I did find a way around this though. If it is not working for you, look at a different base and click and keep clicking on that min patch. Since you don't have vision of it, you will have to shift click on the min patch, a move, repeat. It worked for me and you can see it at the end of this replay when I was messing around with it with my bro.

This doesn't help against players who add a gateway to the wall-off (which is possible, because the pylons will finish). Depending on the timing of a bunker wall-off, it may be ineffective if there are 2-4 marines.

This is silly, having the pull all your workers for 30 seconds to make 2 bunkers salvage is still stupid

I agree, you loose too much out of it, I am sure.

This is a great tactic.
People are still complaining about getting walled in but that's to be expected.
This is a great trick that helps and should definitely be made awares to all.

I just tested it a bunch of times on a unit tester map and it works amazingly well. If you execute it correctly, you can take out a finished pylon or supply depot in less than 20 seconds attacking it with 16 workers (fastest was about 16 seconds). So a still building or warping in structure should take even less.

Just take into account that a unit that can not reach a targeted location, will try to get as close as possible to that location. So if you click the wrong minerals patch, I suspect the drones will sometimes not go where you want them to. Also as people already wrote, if you don't have vision of the mineral patch, shift clicking it a few times will give you the time you need to stack all your drones up neatly.

Cool trick. Keep it in Blizzard.

I was kind of wondering how long it would take for people to realize that ground unit stacking, while illegal in SC1, is automatic in SC2, and that includes workers.

I don't see any reason that it shouldn't work. The guy in the video went overboard by about a few drones there, 11-12 drones would've done the necessary ~50-60 damage per hit.

anybody wants to custom on EU to try it out? or does anybody know a custom map?
What does one have to do to become a Zerg gosu? First empty your mind, get your firm grip on the mouse and practice hard, and don't get stressed out. Zerg gosuness is measured by enjoyment you get without getting stressed out, not skill. That's gosu.

It's pretty easy to understand, might take a little longer for newbies to master, but I am sure everyone from bronze to masters understands this concept.

Also, being high level doesn't mean you will think of this trick. As you can see, this has eluded pros for a long time, until this one guy found it out.
