Ehhhh, Drewbie drops are named after drewbie


Sure, but as far as I know, drewbie didn't go around saying, "hey guys, here's a trick I use, you should name it after me." It happened naturally.

IMO there's just something a little off about consciously angling to get people to name shit after you. If it happens, it happens, great. If not, who cares? You still made a cool trick (and I do admit that its a nifty trick).

Interesting technique and makes sense if banelings are grouped with zerglings. Then when zerg a-moves, banelings start getting wasted like you want. However, a simple adaptation that many players already use is seperate hotkey for banes and don't a-move. It minimizes wasted banes on marauders + tanks and allows for some sick surrounds.

It's not like he is begging us to name it after him. He just thought it would be cool

pls get over your ego... if you want it to be named after yourself go win some tournaments using your epic micro and it will come naturally.

btw if this is to be used when infestors are on the field i don't see why/how your medivacs wouldnt get fungaled when they try to float into his army.

I suggest that this thread be closed as the trick being given isn't useful at all and we can see a bit of flaming going on.

This is time spent with which the marauders aren't doing damage or slowing the zerg's units if you had chosen to upgrade concussive shells.

That is an interesting trick that could work well, I would say that most (high level, skilled, whatever you want to call it) zerg players don't A-Move their banelings so that when the baneling is killed it will be in the middle or at least have penetrated into the bio ball instead of just hit the outermost unit. That is the main problem with this is that it doesn't really require micro to counter it just requires your opponent not to do something instead of forcing him to do something.

It would work well in distracting zerglings though because often times they are A moved and will spend precious time surrounding the marauders.

It is a nice trick that would be worth trying because as shown in your replays it will catch some opponents off guards if they are playing lazy. It can punish your opponents by magnifying any skill disparity that exists in the match up. Though it can also punish you because you are wasting the healing from the medivacs but when it comes to banelings versus marines the healing is more or less negligible.


In general I would avoid naming tricks after yourself, if you deserve the honor the community will do it for you.

nah...at least it has SOME use. thats more than can be said for a lot of the threads here. and who cares if there's a little flaming? i don't think anyone has crossed a line.

I didn't think it'd get this much flame lol . If you guys actually bother to watch the replays, it'll show how effective it is. These games are at 1000+ diamond level.

Idk with the state that SC2 is in still growing with people and sponsors still realizing how big it is the importance for players to get their names out there is pretty high. I still don't see much of an issue with saying hey I did this cool trick remember my name.

It is a trade off, in some situations where you are marine heavy and your marauders are more or less meant to be meatbags it is a good idea. In other situations it is a bad idea.

Also not all marauders need to be dropped this way, some could be in the ball and others being dropped to soak up banelings (if allowed to) or to distract the zerglings while the main ball of MM is firing.

Basically i just don't understand why you would want to keep your medivacs out of position and healing range of your army....


stfu clown, Stalife is the most mannered guy ever. also, mothership rushes work against top level players.


^^ There are like 3-4 guys with >50 posts in this thread telling off the OP, then the mighty Xeris comes along and just shuts them down. This made my day, lol.

And to the OP, it's good that you shared that. I'm sure there are a lot of low level players on TL who are probably unaware of these little micro tricks that one can do. But um... going around and asking people to name small micro maneuvers after you isn't so humble....
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

If you've never seen it before then you're not expecting it and if it looks like you have a clear path at the marines then it's not uncommon to just a-move your blings and then go back to macro no matter what skill-level you are. It worked on me and Bubba and we aren't "lower leagues".

i'm 90% sure most zergs move their banelings instead of 1 moving, so dropping random marauders in the oncoming zerglings/baneling ball wouldn't help anything D:

Back in the beta i was actually thinking about doing something similar with vikings (by landing them obvsly.) But i'm not a terran player.

Anyways I support this thread. Stalife is an awesome baller, fuck drops I'd name my kids after him.

Why don't people get temp-banned for this kind of stuff? I could go to the b.net forums for trash posts.

...

ur 90% sure that most zerg just A-move their banelings? because they are noobs who play zerg? ... i dont get it.

EDIT- OOOO nm i understand your post after 2-3 more readings.

"Im pretty sure most Zerg just move their banelings, not A-move them, so this Dropping would do nothing but add another right click from the Z player and would actually not do anything....and zerg are awsome (i added that part).

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

But i agree... get famous the old fashioned way, give a celebrity a blowjob and then threaten to tell their wife/fans.

Or like someone else said... win some tournaments, become recognizable and then just start making up terms with your name in them.

why would you load them up in the first place? why not just put them infront of your marines? seems you're more likely to fail with this method because units come out 1 at a time. if the zerg just right clicks on a marine, the baneling will completely ignore the marauder.
