Thanks. Next time I'm playing a ZvT and the game boils down to my 1 zergling and no economy vs his planetary fortress with no money or scvs I'll thank you.

Is it even worth the time? 1 zergling? When are you going to find a planetary fortress with no scvs around it, and won't the planetary fortress kill the zergling while it's running up to it?

Lol interesting trick. I guess....

Killing a Planetary Fortress with a single zergling is a useful skill toi have.

We v-tech players have been doing micro like this for years.
Stops the planetary fortress rush dead in its tracks. Cue benny hill music.(Wiki)

I expect this to revolutionize high level play. We should see a noticeable shift away from Planetary Fortress usage vs. Zerg in the coming months as the metagame adapts.

What a worthless building, capable of being demolished by the cheapest unit in the game.

Clearly, Zerglings are OP.

This.

But on the other hand, at least there are a lot of TL'ers trying to be helpful.

Nice OP, very interesting and entertaining.
Care less about making more mistakes.

Why is it that StarCraft players are the absolute worst people when it comes to carrying a joke? I mean on other forums people just get it and threads become legendary. Here there are like 80 people who come in with lab coats on.

As long as a player has sufficient micro to pull this off, planetary fortresses should no longer pose any threat. I think this could even become a hallmark of high level play, where a player micro's against a planetary for 5 minutes straight while still having to macro in his base.


I seriously laughed so hard I almost cried
This is probably what blizz had in mind when they were 'balancing.' I Jest!

What! Now I have to have to select my fortress and tell it toattack the units attacking it? Damn, I picked up Terran specifically to avoid this level of mico. Bad enough I have to stim with my 1a, but I don't think I can handle this.

Blizzard needs to patch this now or I'll never play again!
