EPTremoving the depots is definitely a good idea, because it limits strategies. before it was neccessary cuz it was too hard to deal with, but now it should be an option.

As for ZvT, for offensive attacking, say, a terran's supply depot wall-in in this manner, it seems it can work for getting in, but the number of drones should be outnumbered by scvs once inside, though perhaps a drone +some lings all-in can overwhelm the terran's scv count, and possibly 1-2 rines, though as the game progresses, and the rine/maurader count behind the depots increases, the drones are going to have a harder time getting in... I wonder what an optimal "drone-bust cheese" build order would be, if such a thing could be effective? (and obviously, this is map dependent, making the micro harder/impossible if the minerals are farther away) In any case, awesome find, thanks for sharing!  | ||

Don't forget you can still place pylons and cannons inbetween the minerals and geysers which is one way to still punish hatch first. | ||

I think you're supposed to wait for the pylons to finish so they can't cancel, the cannon won't have enough time to be made when you start attacking the pylon | ||

You can see in the video that sometimes the drones dont cause any damage. That might be because after clicking on the minerals (stacking the drones against the pylon), by the time he clicked attack on the pylon the drones were already too far away from the pylon. Just a guess though. We should compare this trick with the PTR drones | ||

I'm at work so I can't test. Would it be possible to have a few drones left to attack regularly so you get some sustained damage and at the same time use the trick with the rest of the drones? Not sure if it would be worth it even if it did work but something to try. | ||
