I posted it in the bnet thread as well, but you get similar results if you alternate stop and hold position which is a bit simpler than clicking the thor and works on multiple thors.

i posted this solution in the thread where people were whining about the "imbalance" like two weeks ago

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=153976&currentpage=5#88

people responded with "thats not good enough because the ones that aren't near something won't attack anyone"

clearly they should be khaoslings el oh el

This might work with zealots as well. And the trick should also work for killing a PF.

Oh yes, it might work with zealots too! It's almost as if the post right above you mentions zealots doing this specifically.

Why do I post here when no-one actually reads any of the posts?

Repairing SCVs should have the same threat level as attacking units. Attacking and repairing both affect the health levels of units, so it makes sense to me at least.

Found out about this a few weeks ago.... messaged HD and Psy asking them to make a video of so as to educate the Brood, but so far nothing.

Regardless, great bit of knowledge. I got owned by a single Thor being repaired once... that was my impetus to find a way to counter it.

in my opinion repairing workers should be prioritized and then these silly Thor all ins would not be ridiculous to begin with

@bobcat: a +0/1 Thor with autorepair scvs can kill a startling number of Zerg units. I have a mid diamond play buddy whose standard Zerg build is thors, and he got the "Kill 40 units with a single unit in a ladder game" achievement really easily with it.

It all depends on the situation. Surely you would have scouted his Thor?

A refinement to this micro I found while testing it:

The zerglings like to run 'around' (out of melee range) of the SCVs a lot of the time, so what you can do is do the first hold position, then stop + hold position quickly (like scoot+shoot speed) a few times, and they will scoot closer to the SCVs/Thor.

Why didn't I think of this!? Thanks ^^
Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!

is this (speedling slipknot) better than using the Patrol command?
i mean u just have to patrol them near the thor/scvs and they will attacks what they can, the scvs then the thor.

Interesting technique. I don't see how this will help with groups of Thors, though, or when Thors are mixed with support units (as they always are).

harder to play? you mean you can no longer send a single thor and a bunch of SCV's and auto-win? not being able to do that must be really hard
