To trigger widow mines


But you need to send just like 20-30 lings first and then ALL of the banes at once witt the rest of the banes. Not a ragtag group of both, and then another, and then another ...


Then one widow mine kills all the lings and the other widow mines still trigger.

I don't think KSS is the best terran map. Earlier in the season yes, but zergs have been doing better on it recently. I still think it's bad for Zerg, but no worse than Galactic Process.

Hellions: the original Adepts.


Remember when Infernal Pre-Igniters gave +10 damage?


it was +15
Slayers came to MLG and the terrans dominated the event.


I remember prior to that Terrans telling me that Hellions were garbage and they wished Vultures were in the game.

The lings need to be split. We have seen Dark can do that.

It's overall the best Terran map, not TvZ specific.

that actually a terrible strategy. the initial ling squad will get decimated without any chance of doing damage, and the terran can just burrow/unburrow. the small baneling squads at least can kill stuff

When T has widowmines you can't just a move, because you can loose your complete ling bane Army to 2 or 3 Widowmines. So you shove of a fith or so from your army try to trigger the widowmines and then attack. If you send not enough the bio might kill the stuff before the widowmines are triggered. IF you send to much, you might loose too much .......

Also what the stats about maps don't tell is that zergs might win more on certain maps, but it might be okay for players like ByuN. That's why on close % maps it can be hard to gauge.

you need to send in small groups of ling/bane, it helps with widow mines and it's very easy to mess up as the Terran
