id like to see what would happen if he didnt attack move them though because even if the marauders that are being dropped target the banelings to slow them, the dropships drop things off quite slow and it seems like he should be able to run enough past and get to the marine ball still a cool trick tho | ||

OMG this man is a genius! Haters gonna hate, but I can't see this being very useful. Banelings don't target Mules automatically. | ||

they attacked whatever's closest. i really dont see how this helps really, i havent experienced it yet but it seems like i'd prefer terran to do this rather than just keep them on ground | ||

I did not mean it as a douchebag / cocky move. The trick itself is great and I believe it'll catch on :D | ||

Zelniq: not clumping your banelings is pretty time consuming and often not done properly so stalife can aim at the baneling balls and drop on them. I guess? | ||

I'm sorry that you're recieving such negative responses from the community here. Perhaps they are jealous of your trick finding prowess?  | ||

I'll keep an eye out when I'm playing zerg from now on. Also, when the medivac is FG'd, you can still unload units from it. | ||

I guess I got ahead of myself naming it myself first. I was pretty excited to see something totally effective happen because the trick was accidental. If you watch the replay of me vs bubba (the first game I saw it happen by mistake), I loaded up my marauders on the medivacs and I was on route to drop on his main base. However, I saw bubba's massive army coming at me, and it was just a quick reflex, just moving my medivacs back and dropping the marauders. After that game, I tried doing it vs several zergs players online and in practice games. It seemed to work and I started to notice that the marauders fire at the banelings first. Taking advantage of sc2's smart AI seemed like a pretty amazing move, and I got very excited :D I did not mean it as a douchebag / cocky move. The trick itself is great and I believe it'll catch on :D No apologies necessary. Keep calling them Stalife drops. Even if it catches on and community changes name don't neva stop callin it the stalife drop. | ||

Meaning they're doing little to no splash damage because only a few Marauders are unloaded before they bite it. Damage-wise, Banelings aren't great against Marauders, especially when they get no splash. The benefit is partly placement, but largely that the Banelings kill the Marauders one-at-a-time instead of en masse. | ||
