LOL, great, all I need to do is isolate the terran army for 15-20 minutes, and then I can kill his expo!

You might as well ask your opponent to leave before you pull this off successfully :/

the planetary fortress is an invincible third base, it has no weakness

It's a nice trick for sure, but microing one ling in the middle of a terrans base for +5minutes without getting interrupted seems a bit hard


Only if you're not confident in your abilities. This is clearly only a technique for the higher level players.

no
its a technique for god and him alone.

The point he was making was that the ling's run speed is faster than the PF turret's turn speed. How would you control the PF? The only thing you could do is force fire on an SCV to cause the turret to turn the other way and cut off the ling, but then the ling could just start running the opposite direction.

neat trick, but lets be realistic here please... no one is gonna use this in a real game... lol

people would rather just macro up a shitfuck more lings and overrun the PF..

this would work great with things with less hp though! like the flamethrower turret thing in the singleplayer.. people could just micro around that if it moves too slow..

its like rine vs lurker micro... very effective, takes advantage of the lurkers's slow spokes, but only useful because it takes like 5-10 seconds to complete.. not like 5 min to take down a CC... which can easily be repaired.... and has a big ass canon mounted on top that will fuck you up if you mess up... (especially considering its an sc2 ling, not a bw ling)

If a ling was burrowed next to a pf and the pf was pointing in the opposite directions how many attacks could the ling get in if it unburrowed, attacked and burrowed again?
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

What if...

1) Does the planetary fortress automatically target the closest unit? If so, maybe you can run one zergling up to it while attacking a base with a pf and then micro the zergling throughout the battle, so the pf never fires at your other attacking units. (You could also shift-command it to run laps around the pf and go back to microing your other units)

2) Maybe it is possible to use this with more zerglings. For example, you surround the pf with zerglings, watch where the pf is pointing, then move the 4-5 zerglings from the side to another side and so on.

That's all I can think of.

This is now going to be mandatory for any "can you do X number tricks" maps that come out for SC2

I loved making a perma-cloaked zergling...

lol did they advertise for tl on romanian tv or wtf is up with this thread?
▲ I was really thirsty while playing a match. All my teammates were gone, so I drank from the water bottle that was next to me. It was very good. I thank the owner of the bottle.

If I were the terran, i will just ignore the ling and contuies mining. It will mine out 15 min after anyways.

Theoretically useful, at least. If the terran only has a pf left and all you have are some zerglings, you would get a win over a draw. Can't imagine it being useful anywhere else.

why is everyone bashing this guy
he just found a weakness with the planetary fortress
he never said like "OMG this is the best trick, name it after me, it'll win you 10000 games"

Once the PF tries to shoot at that one ling will it keep trying even if you bring more units in?

The possibilities are endless!

Im wondering if you can put the zergling on a patrol around the fortress, and just kill it with a ranged unit.
