You can send in a zergling, then get broodlords to attack it, then it dies and the broodlings can run after your enemy. You can maintain this with constantly attacking new broodlings that land. Pretty impressive apm would be required, but in theory, it's prossible. | ||

Well keep mind you are not gonna have a naked army of Carriers, Blink stalkers can take out Corrupters and vikings with ease. | ||

 EDIT: Wish some high-level Terrans could have actually stepped up and given us some high level replays of the no MM/Tank deal. | ||

Scourge >> Corruptors I think the biggest issue with carriers isn't their strength as a unit, but that we haven't figured out the timings to get carriers safely like we did in BW. You can't just choose to get carriers whenever--you have to have a good timing for it, otherwise your opponent is going to realize when you're vulnerable and roll over you before you get enough carriers to hold. | ||

Also the fact that carriers are expensive AFTER you get them. Huk tried to use carriers Vs marines Ok, you fired 50 interceptors, what, 40 just die? Thats 1000 minerals gone. | ||

Does anyone know which game I'm talking about? EDIT: It was Socke vs. Drewbie, game 3 on Lost Temple. You can watch the VOD here: http://sc2casts.com/cast528-Drewbie-vs-Socke-Best-of-3-All-in-1-video-MLG-Raleigh-Unknown-Stage Unfortunately, MLG hasn't released any replays. :/ | ||

That is not true. Shadows depend simply on the lighting of the map. Actual unit position is separate from the position of the shadow. | ||

But i don't know I haven't tried it, maybe this can be micro'd in some way. Do have my doubts tho. Btw, your name is so appropriate for this post, lol. | ||

Nice find, I have noticed this as well, when I was rushing carriers for the day9 Funday Monday a couple weeks ago. Carriers destroy a mineral line! | ||
