only do this to punish the terran when his army is all thors and tanks. Like people said, if there are rines (which there should be), kill them first.

I think this was known, but it is great for someone to make a big post to show exactly how to do it. Anyway, it seems like the gosu micro in Starcraft 2 will revolve more around spreading out an army to take away splash damage.

Spoilers of IEM Day 3: SarenS versus IdrA:
+ Show Spoiler +
Another example was SarenS versus IdrA in Game 1. SarenS spread his bio army to reduce the Baneling damage by a ton. While this alone didn't win him the game, it helped a lot.


Patrol move micro to reduce Siege Tank damage for units walking in range of the tanks. (click sentence for link)

And now we have this. It is so great to see little techniques being found out so early in the game's life.

Not so much a zerg specific technique. As has already been mentioned, this makes banelings even more worthless, reducing Zergs T1 units to bad, worse, and worthless.

It will give zerglings the ability to surround a little better.

In other news, thor AoE buff on the horizon!

sorry if I stole your thunder. When I edit the post, I'll make it clear that I'm not the inventor. I just stumbled across it on my own and thought I'd share.

I dont know why people are making such a big deal, i mean this was already talked about here:

Myth #8.

Still nice way of explaining it, and I like the whole box idea.

The problem still relies in the stimmed marines doing all the damage. I have used this tactic in my zvt and yes it helps, but it isn't game breaking.

keep in mind when comparing costs of the two units, yes thors will be cheaper in gas but zerg should be able to outexpand a meching terran at least when I play zerg I do.
4 mutas beat a thor.
Also has anyone tried this with 1 corruptor for every 2 thors as corruption could make a hell of a difference
