You know, the biggest problem (besides many people using this already) is the name. Stalife Drop? Na, that doesn't sound good. The trick itself is more a strategy, the reason fazing got accepted so easily, is because the trick was really effective, not that well known and fazing didn't sound that bad either

question for stalife: How would u do this vs muta ling baneling? It seems extremely rsky not to have medivacs close to army when there are mutas out there.

Do you have any replays vs Muta baneling?

Pretty much this,,lol.. I don't understand why zerg A-Move banelings, it's silly as they explode without A-Move.. (though they shouldn't.. too strong imo)

"Join Custom game" -> Play vs. Bronze league players -> Do some random "trick" -> Post replays on TL with a write-up -> Become an international sensation.

I watched one of the replays and if the zerg player was good he would just move command his banelings into the marines. This nullifies all viability of this "trick". You are actually worse off if you do this and the zerg move commands his banelings as your marauders will be close to instantly killed by roaches/mutas as they drop and will hardly be able to shoot.

He's not bad he just made a micro mistake. Everyone makes mistakes and it's easy to publish a replay of someone making a mistake.

It seems like there are a lot of noobs who don't know who stalife is regardless of this post. Please keep your comments to the technique, and not about how ignorant you are of certain players.

The problem with this trick is this:

It will work against good player and bad players once. Once someone sees what is being done they will immediately and potentially permanently alter the way they handle banelings because they can no longer carelessly A-Move banelings like they do the rest of the army.

The problem arises with the fact that it will change the way your opponent plays to the better, it will enhance the damage of the banelings if your opponent realizes what is happening and reacts accordingly because the banelings will penetrate deeper into the marines if they are force moved. Furthermore it is nullified with no micro, it forces your opponent to stop playing lazily in one regard (A-Move) but the way to stop the effectiveness of these drops is equally easy (Force move) and will actually make the banelings more deadly.

right click where you want the medivac to go
with the medivac selected, left click the units out and they should drop while the medivac continues to fly towards its destination[/quote][quote][/quote]
acutally you press D and click on the medivac

Im going to side with the, just put your marauders infront of the marines and save yourself the trouble of losing your medivacs to mutalisks or something, and multitask something else like making an scv or floating a barracks or something

irrelevant. the 1st zerg went 0/0 upgrade roach against a 3base terran, heavy marauder army, despite building two early evo chambers (he doe eventually get +1 armor and +1 melee after hive). then he builds a spire after hive and sacrifices 800 gas worth of mutas to nothing (wtf?). then spends a shit tonne more gas on banelings to use against these marauders when he was getting an ultra cavern. then gg's after losing 1 base. seriously wtf was that?

the second match was more terrible, basically a NR20 match and the zerg doesn't fast tech to anything. same deal with almost no upgrades for most of the game, not even overlord speed. there was even a massive attack on terran's base where he does NO damage despite being in a position to decimate the base. he runs his zerglings right into the scv line and doesn't attack. even when the scvs are running up the ramp, with zerglings surrounding the shit out of them, he just runs them back and fourth and doesn't kill shit. it was painful to watch.

as per the marauder drop, stalife loses 12 marauders in his marauder drop, and a bunch of marines as well. not very effective. though,, the drop in the second game was much more effective, losing only 8 marauders to a-move banelings.

I feel like if the d9d of this had come out before stalife posted it (I realize this seems unlikely as day9 probably found the replay in this thread), everyone would happily be calling it 'stalife drops' and praising its brilliance.

Also the amount of people who: never played/watched/followed foreign sc1, haven't read past the first post of this thread, are platinum players criticizing stalife, and/or have tiny weiners is mind boggling. I want to hurt myself after reading this thread.

i love how you are trying to promote yourself with this joke of a micro trick. please stop while your ahead, and any zerg that has an even the smallest bit of micro is going to be able to avoid this. but if you play in a lower league, anything is possible- even a mother ship rush.

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

User was warned for this post


so... diamond is a "lower league" please explain

and since you have no idea who stalife is im guessing you're new here at TL
