EPTI expect Planetary Fortress to be patched and fire on all directions since this is clearly a bug and not working as intended. Great find.

The ling can be used to distract the PF from a ranged ground army. I just tried it and was able to take out a PF with 1 ling and just a few hydras without taking any damage at all, and with the hydra dps it doesn't even take all that long. This is what you do: go in with the ling and kite the PF to make it turn around, then a-move the hydras in. If you don't attack with the ling, eventually the PF will lose interest and turn to the hydras, but if you attack again with the ling before it turns all the way toward the hydras, it will immediately stop and turn back toward the ling. Juggling the PF like this with 10 hydras will take it down in around 30 seconds without taking any damage whatsoever. | ||

You do know you can controll the PF and who it will hit right?  | ||

This may very well be a SHOW-OFF trick. Like in SC1, there are so much moment that one player that far ahead will show off some of his awesome technique that make the watching crowd goes" Ohhh, wow". Just imagine, some pro did this in a televised match, it will be cool. And it doesnt need to be a five minute long actually, just 10-20 seconds is enough to get the crowd and the casters's attention! | ||
