Splitting is surely better but probably not by much. | ||

I love playing terran but ive been deterred lately from it because of how effective banelings are against the "standard" marine-tank composition this, however, has given me the spark to start playing as terran again (ive had to main as protoss for months now). ive tried it out in custom games and it works beautifully! zerg players even ask me how i split my marines like a pro to all of those saying that speedlings will destroy separated marines: yes, but if he wasted all those banelings, you've already been EXTREMELY cost effective, and marines with medivacs die very slowly to lings :D banelings are the true danger, and this hard counters them | ||

As in, the zerg runs a bunch of speedlings in, you try to do the patrol trick, but all your marines just stand there in a ball shooting at lings, and then get wiped out by banes. This doesn't happen using the normal method. This just seems really high risk / reward. If it goes perfectly, your split will be much more effective than slicing manually. If it doesn't, you might lose everything. | ||

♥ This seems like a really clean way to split marines, will try this with stalkers, in the event I deal with ling/bling again. | ||

Either they don't mess with each other, or I'm just not fast enough to make them do that lol. It's pretty fast though. I like this patrol trick though, I'll try it. P is just sooooo far on my keyboard... -___- | ||

now i just need a zerg that fights me with 2:1 marine vs baneling ratio with 0 speedlings instead of the 120 they always have so it actually works | ||
