Really funny it took us that long to discover something we already knew. | ||

I guess having a probe build a couple of pylons at the corner of the base in a way that traps itself would do the trick. Edit: Correcting mistakes. what the hell is wrong with my head today -.- | ||

It's just that most people, including pros, don't realize that it makes a difference in SC2. As someone mentioned earlier, I think the only pro who does this frequently is Nestea. You can move around in any direction. I think I just messed up and clicked too far away or not quickly enough when I switched directions. Because you flew back over the overlord, they unstacked. It is not the grouping with the overlord that makes it work, but rather the fact that the overlord is far away from the mutas that keeps them stacked. If you look after the mutas are heading left after leaving the overlord, they almost completely stop destacking. They only had some destacking when they were near the overlord. That's how it worked in BW at least. | ||

This is actually really really useful, and I look forward to implementing it, nice job. | ||

1. Group an overlord (or any other unit that moves) with your mutas. You actually don't need a unit that moves. As someone suggested, I tried grouping my mutalisks with a spire, and it worked fine. I can also tab between the mutas and the spire to make upgrades.

Yeah it seems to have a small difference. The map don't spread out in a line when moving that much with the trick. | ||

Hmm I'm thinking make an enclosed space with buildings, and warp in a zealot, or enclose a probe with buildings, and use that. I'm going to test it right now... Yeah it works really well actually.  | ||
