I love the mass amount of people warned in this thread =D It made me happy.
If somehow I get warned int his post, I'll still be happy.

Moving on, it's an interesting idea, and it's better than just 1a moving your army, but there are way better ways you could go about yielding the same result... AKA moving marauders to the front. Yes, it's different micro, but in the end, it will keep more of your units alive while doing more damage to the opponent and healing more with your medivacs. The big issue with this micro trick is that your medivac isn't healing while it's moving marauders- in my opinion, it isn't worth it to stop your medivac from healing.

And yeah, the ego thing kinda bugged me, but I can get over that.

nice trick, but honestly, you should get over yourself. most micro tricks don't get named after anyone specific--Fazing was, but thats just because there's not really a good shorthand to describe that action, and his name lends itself naturally to something like that. You didn't see Psy asking that people call magic boxing "psy boxing" did you? Nobody named muta stacking after anyone in BW, even though obviously someone had to come up with it first.

and honestly, if you do want something named after you, pick a screenname that lends itself more naturally to being turned into a verb. "Stalifing" or whatever really doesn't roll off the tongue.

July was the first to come up with the muta-stacking

No, Shark did.

Everyone says that "oh zerg just moves instead of attack moves the banelings." That's not the point! You're using marauders as a movement inhibitor, dropping them in the way of the banelings so banelings have to go the long way around. Even if he DID just move them to behind the ball rather than a-move (I'm going to assume they did.) you're making it take a lot longer for banelings to reach their target, and thus, many more of them will be shot to death before being in splash range.

No, you're dropping Marauders on Banelings so they blow up. Similar to Zealot Bombs in BW.

(Ma)rauder bombs then?

Marauder bombing sounds cool to me.

yeah same, I don't think it particularly deserves a special name. I mean dropping zealots on to tank clusters and/or mines PvT in BW is just zealot bombing, so I don't see why this should be any different. I also doubt stalife is one of the first people to have this come to mind. I'm sure people were toying around with this in the early beta. marauder bombing sounds fine to me.

I did it in my mind during that first TvZ battle report even though the zerg only made like 6 banelings.

Nice to see all the haters proven wrong when the emperor himself is using this "useless trick".

That reasoning makes no sense at all; if BoxeR went fast Bcruiser, that doesn't make it good. If HuK mothership rushes, that doesn't make it good. Will they win? Maybe, but then it won't be due to the build/trick, but due to them outplaying their opponent.

Better example: Boxer has 5 seconds Idling before each game. Is it good? No, ofcourse not. Will he still win most games on ladder? Yeah, he probably will.

It's a good, if very situational, trick. This thread was hilariously bad

I have been beaten by this trick a few times.
As a zerg I can say this is very effective.

we hate it because stalife named a drop that he didnt invent
its just a marauder drop, more or less the same as a baneling drop

Its very situational, but when the situation arises and you get a chance to use it (thats if your brain can resonate to use it), then use it!

It isn't possible to do this versus Mutas. Also, Zergs can just roll their Banelings away from the drop. Doesn't seem effective to me.

if you saw TheWind vs Boxxer, you could see how annoying it was for the Zerg to keep away from the drop, its not as useless as people want it to be.

dont be bad guys !
I saw only that meta game and i like that idea !
but putting marauders in front of your army should do same and i think that if he knew what are you going to do he would do better and not attack your Marauders with blings
