Obvious troll is obvious, but anyone who'd stay in a game with no units long enough for this to happen to several of their planetary fortresses deserves to be someone's bitch.

are you pro sarcasm? because I believe you are an idiot, to point out that my post was indeed stupid if it i really sat there and watch for hours 1 zergling killing Lots of Plantery fortessses. I hope you realized it was a joke. to call me a troll in a thread like this where everyone is havin fun posting many things that are useless, but funny to read. You sir i hope, u are not a little kid or mentally retarded because then i would feel bad for you because you did not know any better. i really hope you find meaning in life by pointing out the obvious.

Yeah I'm sure the OP thought this was a revolutionary micro trick and his name would be remembered throughout sc2 history as "oesis micro."

This is pretty neat to know and I might actually try it, maybe not with lings, but a few hydras on opposite sides. Of course I'd probably lose while doing it lol. This reminds of when Leta took the time to use a single marine to micro vs a lurker but lost most of his army, it was in a game where he had essentially won though. Other progamers micro vs lurker yes but not usually with one marine.

when did planetary fortress go from being a pile of crap to being the zerg whiner hot topic of the week?

it's really only good during mass repair, and mass repair costs a lot of minerals/gas. i agree the priority thing sucks, but you should learn to wipe your own ass instead of waiting for blizzard to do it for you all the time.

Really? I have stopped 4 armies in 4v4 with a planetary fortress. If I see one I just never attack it. EVER.

you could alternate burrow/unburrow with clusters of hydras and roaches on opposite sides, so as to avoid fire. that's a little more plausible (lol).
dont ever say that

Just a quick question, if a PF gets a focus on a single target and you move around, will the fortress change target?

Since you could move in with your army, it'd mainly work with lings I guess, to attack, move one ling in first to gain focus while a-moving the rest, then you just kite it's fire around. That could probably be plausable if it worked.

i recall seeing a game of ZvP where in the end it was 1 ling + 1 drone vs 1 zealot. both side lost their nex/hatch and can not rebuild it.

after waiting for so long they decided to base trade and the z came out ahead with an ingenious chamber.

anyways the point is, yes this could very well be used to secure a victory and i'd love to see it. just get the PF down to burning HP and its done for.

I saw that match, the extractor bit was so amazing. It was like, one guy trying to outsmart the other and he himself gets outsmarted. One of the most epic endings to a match ever!

Gosu x2. I've got ot say the serious responses are fairly funny as well. Some people need better reading comprehension skillz.

Its easy.
Just fungal growth his entire army to immobilize it (use 10 or 11 infestors and you can keep it up constantly i think) while using overseers to disable all of his unit producing structures. That will give the ling the time it needs to kill the Pfort.

this with lings vs planetary would be the hallmark of professional play.

Terran can just send any attacking unit....SCV's even to kill the ling. And if Zerg sends control groups of lings, I don't think the trick will work, as the Planetary Fortress doesn't need to turn as much to hit the lings running in a line.

I don't agree that this is a viable tactic.
