Seriously.

Everyone and his cat was using this routinely before in any match, and still Day[9] and d'Apollo was completely surprised when Idra used it to great effect against Tarson. Hmm.

Butthurt? Post evidence.

More like we finally can't be rid of the endless river of tears the strategy/general SC2 forums have been since release.

Very nice but this doesn't really have anything to do with magic box.. it has to do with not clumping your units lol

Nice way of stealing a movie out of a thread without a reference and posting a woot topic in the general section. Well played sir.

So true.

And thx for the post, didn't know about this either. And seeing Idra using it is even more interesting because we will see how terran react now.
Just hope it won't be a stupid mass tower thing while pushing their way out.

i really doubt this will change the zvt metagame much.. i'm barely more cost-effective thor vs muta than I was before, it just takes much less effort.. no real change to the way i start, and i still need a large ling bling army to kill marines that come with the thors, still can't harass against turret + thor range..

and it's still very expensive to deal with hellion or reaper agression (and impossible to fe against a bunker imo)

Haha awsome pic, but anyways.... I have been watching alot of ZvT from asia lately and they mostly go bio/mech and pure muta does not work against it apparently. Games turn out to be baneling/ling/muta vs heavy marine thor with some tanks.

Very true. It is still another tool in the box for Zerg, and it will perhaps hurt the tank count of T a bit.

ofc pure muta doesnt cut it. the thing is that thors heavily cutdown tank numbers and that bio easily gets raped by ling/baneling(/infestor) without heavy tanks support.

with proper muta harrass you can contain the T for ages. was already strong but people always cried how 3 thors > 9235 mutas and how they are useless once he pushes out. this shows people that this isnt true at all.

I do not understand, is it a real BW magic box, do you have to select the units by moving the mouse from one corner of the box to the other, or can I just double click one muta to select all and it will work the same?
