I still say Life Bombs. Sounds cool and logical, and gives one of the early adopters a nod.

The timing worked out for boxer because he knew thewind went roaches as opposed to mutas. If it was standard sling/bling/muta the medivacs would have been easily picked off.

To the people who are saying: Most zergs dont A-move with blings.

The likelyhood of someone A-moving into an army is a lot larger when it's just a marine ball.
Thus: Zerg sees only marines, A-moves and goes back to macro.
I'm not saying that it's always going to happen that way but a pure marine ball isn't that threatening to a zerg.

even with marines, i almost never a-move my blings. if get killed, they do their explosive damage anyway, so why not move them to get a nice surround and soak up damage while theyre at it?

Like Boxer said in his interview, it seems like something that wouldn't work if the zerg controls his army correctly, but it actually does work pretty well typically.

But it's obviously not something critical.

I don't think this is true at all, A-moving banelings is almost never done, even in your hypothetical situation most people would still not A-move banes.

Just moving your banelings then moving away cant be that good considering the marines can just stim and run until the banelings stop moving. I'm not completely sure if A-move stops as well. If they do I am completely wrong ^_^

Just wanted to quote this to comment on how true this people. Countless people commenting on how they did it first or something. Who cares?

And the thor version of this is quite disgusting.

It really doesn't matter who gets the credit but it's just helping evolve TvZ etc. It seems like a cool trick but couldn't the Zerg just pick those off w/ Mutas. But it's kinda funny thinking of two Medivacs coming in from the side dropping down marauders. But if you set up Tanks apart from each other and just run your marines back they will soak up all the banelings.

Anyone watch the GSL yesterday or whatever where Slayers_Boxer did this against TheWind? Tasteosis went nuts lol
If I keep making drones and expanding while fending off their attacks, I'm sure to win...right?

awesome move

people still arguing whether or not this is viable should just watch the game and see how epicly good it worked in the boxer game and just except its a nice situational trick that can be quite nice if pulled off correctly

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.


Well your comment doesnt really make sense either. You cant compare a little trick to whole BOs or some nonsense that is known to be bad/cheesy. Of course you are right when you say that this trick isnt getting usefull out of nowhere only if boxer uses it. But this always was usefull and some people saying it isnt are just proven wrong if boxer uses it with great effect in a GSL match.

the problem with a-move is that banelings will overkill with a-move, and you waste banelings you wouldn't've had u just moved them.

nobody a-moves anymore, ever.
