Best first post EVAR! maybe.

This also nerfs hunter seeker missiles so we may have to see some viking play before broodlords are out to help defend areas that marines aren't fast enough to get to.

So this works for all splash or is it only the Thor splash becausae it is such a asmall area?
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

It works for all splash but especially against thors because their area of effect is just slightly too small in the case of mutas. You should definitely do this against high templars and archons as well.

I actually just watched IEM and noticed that myself. I thought that's what he had been talking about in casts at least... maybe I misunderstood him to be saying something more useful

Wait, 50 minerals > 100 minerals 100 gas isn't a hard counter? sounds like one to me...


First of all it takes about 3 marines per muta if you wanna win, that's if you have stim/combatshield and a medic healing (100/100 per medic). Marines begin to HARD counter mutas if they're multiple armour upgrades ahead of the mutas damage upgrade, because of the triple reduction you get there with mutas splash.

A fresh out of the box vanilla marine gets roflstomped by a muta, so will he and a couple of his friends .


Obviously marines are good to get against mutas as a quick response, in the long run you have to invest in them to make them worthwhile, turn them into a HARD counter as was said. I guess I'm argueing semantics and everyone knows this right! :D

Edit : underlined for clarification
hmmmm

This is an awesome guide, very very helpful.

I threw together a quick tutorial vid of the technique:

Uhmm no. They don't need armor upgrades or medivacs. Stim is the most important thing for marines. As long as the group of mutas don't significantly outnumber your marines and you have stim, you'll tear the muta's to shreds. Add combat shields on top of that and its a done deal.

Oh my god this shows how much I've been keeping up in SC2. I saw a thread where everyone was mentioning magic box and I thought huh. Then I did a search and found this O_O Glad to see it has some form of application in SC2 too.
