So one nice thing I noticed about the patrol split was that, when I patrol backwards with my marines, the marines closest to the banelings would stop, fire, and tank a shot. Obviously, this doesn't work with the speedlings mixed in, which pretty much makes this trick very limited in use.

So I was practicing splitting manually, but my hand speed is just not that quick, as I have to move my mouse back and forth. I actually noticed something that might be of use, its like mixing the patrol trick with the manual move trick.

1. Move your marines back, far away preferably
2. Select 1 or 2 marines
3. Stop command (hold could be used too)
4. repeat step 2.

Now what this does, is actually replicate the patrol command, albeit, alot less efficient, but it seems to work against a speedling mix, as it doesn't stop all your marines in place. Also, I find this MUCH easier to do than a manual split as you can just, "click, S, click, S, click, S".

Of course, IF you can do a manual move split, that would be alot better, as you have more marines shooting at once, but for people with lesser hand speed or less accuracy, it might be alot easier, and practical.



I've been trying just box selecting little clumps of marines and sending them in different directions.

Going to give what you said a try now.

I dont think this will really work agains a Zerg who knows to run the zlings behind the marines to make splits harder, is quite a find, but still very situational, I´d rather use the manual split.
I like to troll in-game :)

I've tried it and it seems very gimmicky, I think I'll stick to the old fashioned manual way. Maybe if I saw a high-level pro do it, then I'll join in.

I played marine split challenge few moments ago, and this trick doesn't work anymore WTF? O.o
When I patrol away, marines just stay where they stayed and dont move.

Anyone got same problem?

you're patrolling too late, if the units are in attack range, it won't work.
