And this doesn't work nearly as well when you have more than 2 thors, or just a general mix of other T units. In the heat of a battle, banelings do a way better job of getting rid of the SCVs (among other things). If only 1 or 2 isolated thors, you can use zerglings+hold, but they're usually not alone. | ||

No, back in BW workers were so low on the priority list that you could very easily use them to defend vs things like 6 pool or proxy-gates etc. There just werent any 400 hp ground units lol | ||

Here is the actual problem Hellions, and cliffs. Thors on cliffs cant be hit by zerglings, and thus this trick is null and void then. Hellions DESTROY lings. Regardless of your micro. Using hold position on lings is especially handy in mineral lines. Where if you attack move you will attack a zealot for example, while with hold position you will kill the workers. This is really great against planetary fortresses. In enormous thor numbers, even a couple of hellions is enough to make this void. | ||

Priority is just an order of importance that the AI uses when deciding what to attack. An example would be using A-move into an opponents base and they have an evo chamber and a roach. Your units will attack the roach first because it has a higher priority. Jinro is saying that a ling rush in BW could be stopped with workers cause the workers were the last thing that the lings AI wanted to attack. | ||

You don't just send lings at a PF, you hold position the lings near the SCVs while the rest of your army kills and tanks the PF | ||

EDIT: nvm I just suck, but it's much much closer if you actually right click autorepair instead of doing what you did | ||

Will A-moving zerglings not try to hit the SCV's? | ||
