Idra saw that tl post!!

PLease, Please stop that bullshit!!!
There are no friggin magic box, that techniqe is known and used for very long by many players, just stop the hype about it, it's not new, not overpowered, not innovative, it's normal


I have watched a lot of high level zerg play and far from everybody does what Idra did right now.

I've been using this for weeks, more precisely ever since i started to go muta heavy. It's absoutely not new, i saw it and done it in beta.
Please dont hype it, it just makes people who played ZvT in Diamond angry

I haven't seen any diamond zerg do it, it's not as common as you make it out to be.

IDRA DIDnt EVEN DO IT 100% good, he clumped his mutas for at least 3 thors (the last ones each time) else he would have lost even less

Thors were always bad tbh. This is not new at all.

Many threads complaining about Z being weak, but none about mutas being OP?

The technique was posted on the strategy forum a couple of days ago, looks like Idra was reading it

I think what people are missing is that IdrA had what, 25 mutalisks? Terran had 5 thors, which is not even close to what IdrA spent on those mutas so it SHOULD own it. If Terran knows that there will be mass muta, you'll just make more marines to force zerg to spend gas on banelings, combined with even more thors.
common sense is the collection of prejudices

just divide mutas in two groups spread them and move them in two magic boxes - then position them right above, as thors turn around very slowly and can't shoot behind - ezpz ^^ gg

i believe there is defense to this trick - 1. more thors, obviously; 2. control the thors so that each one covers a different angle and they don't have real blind spots

Idra yet again proves that zerg players are whiny bitches, and that the imbalance issues are WAY overrated.

Also, this muta "trick" vs thors was discovered during the beta and posted on TL months ago, and its piss easy to pull off.

This just means you can't hold off 20 Mutas with 2 Thors anymore. Need to get marines.

ROFL. I can't believe that worked. It seems vulnerable to a blue flame hellion drop or timing push, but if you spot it I guess you can plot down an extra spine crawler and one in your main.

I guess Idra just right clic behind thors and stop his mutalisk, so his mutalisk aren't stacked...

I also think thors are now useless against air :/
