I don't know whether that's worth it APM wise, but what else is there to do in that situation? it does in the campaign.. not sure about multiplayer as for the interrupting on the yamato.. it didnt seem like it was edit: Abducting a caster while it's casting a channeled spell will cancel the spell if its target gets out of casting range.

I'm getting a continued simple joy from ragdolls working in sc2. I've always said that if I can find the first man to do ragdolls in a game I'll buy him a lot of drinks. | ||

- Corruptor splits against Seeker Missiles for Zerg vs Viking splits against Fungals for Terran - Yamato Cannon vs Abduct for the single-target spells - playing the chess game, trying to force your opponent out of position with run-bys, knowing the exact composition of the opponent and knowing where exactly he got his units, trying to outsmart your opponent I'm looking forward to see more of HotS lategame TvZ Edit: also stuff exploding and dieing in a huge battle looks really awesome with the new physics :D | ||

Supernova didn't split his Vikings either but since Lucky couldn't hit the fungals it was okay for him. I think lategame TvZ has huge potential when the players practiced it enough so that they can control their units better. I think they need more experience. Also lol at Engine "Infernal ... euh.... infernal...euhhhhhhhhh...Infernal Hellions!" | ||

I only got to see that because of state of the game. | ||

If you use them either in or behind your army as safe retreat they are dangerous as hell if you don't pull back instantly. | ||
