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. | ||

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. | ||

Slayers_boxer just did this yesterday, ive even done it right when the game came out I did it in my mind during that first TvZ battle report even though the zerg only made like 6 banelings. | ||

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. | ||

As a zerg I can say this is very effective. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||
