If you just A-move lings at a zealot wall, a zealot will kill 3 lings before dieing. This formation http://imgur.com/3xGpm.jpg is shown in the 2nd half of the OP's replay...and his zealot killed 3 lings. Please stop this thread.

Here are some other formations. http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/113718-1v1-terran-unit_test_map

I was watching HuK play and I noticed vs zergs he made a pylon at the bottom of his ramp and used a zea/other unit to wall it off. He never did this vs any other matchup and it was always when the zerg started running with lings towards his base. I also noticed him spamming the hold position/attack when lings were trying to break in. Don't know if its been discussed but just saying what I saw that looks to be a solution.


pretty sure huk is doing this just to get the pylon up at the bottom of the ramp so he can place buildings down there and get an expo up and running

Well, there's a few things about this.

Firstly, it can be prevented. The Zealot will not move if it's on hold position. I do not mean if you have put him on hold position, but rather if you keep hold position held down or clicked every ~one second, else the zealot goes in to attack mode and get pushed. Also this is not an unfair advantage since the zerg can't do anything else under this time either since he's spamming move commands.

There's a risk in it, if the above happens, you've thrown away time, lings and attention on trying to get through.

It is not really more cost efficient than just right clicking the zealot, you gain time by running through, but you spend apm and attention.

This gives zerg a way to scout a bit better with lings, something that is needed for all races. The game will NOT become better if everyone is forced to play in the dark compared to playing with scouting. This issue is getting covered for toss in next patch with quitter illu and cheaper observers.

Imo, it's a 'bug' you could leave in. If you see a lot of lings outside your base and all you have is 1 zealot, chances are you're going to want to throw down a full wall in the meanwhile.

It's nonsense to use lings to break zealot wall. Why not get some bannelings or roaches?
Roaches all the way way way.

Hold position means that your zealot will not move away from its current position in order to attack. in order words, it is unable to move away from the spot unless it is told to move position.

The problem here is that by forcing zerglings to be move commanded spam, the lings are somehow able to push the zealot just slightly enough to allow units to slip by the zealot. The zealot is still on hold position the entire time. This is definitely a bug and defeats the purpose of hold position.

This happened to me to on blistering sands, i eventually lost the game due to the econd damage he managed to do with 10 zerglings...I asked him at the end how he managed to get by a perfect zealot on hold postion he said that he doesn't know...but i thought at the time it was weird how he just ramed the zealot with out attacking...

What about 2 zealots?
Unless they 10 pool you can get 2 zealots out right?

I had a good night of sleep.

I don't know how people can take enjoyment out of 5 minute games... even if you win with something like this, how can you take any joy out of it? It's not like you out-played your opponent..


If you defeat your opponet, you have outplayed him.

while its nice to know that so many players read teamliquid that a move like that goes viral in less than a day. it sucks to be p now. im only gold, but forge expand seems to work if ure on a favorable map. that's just my opinion =/
when you're sad, stop being sad and be awesome instead

Right now you can consider yourself lucky if they 10 pool.


I don't understand this. If they 8 pool you cant get a zealot out unless you 10 gate . 10 pool is 1 zealot. and 14 pool is 2 zealots right?

Did somebody already test this with 2 zealots blocking the choke?

Tryed this last night, even if you have 10+ zealots in a "wall" the lings will push them ALL back a bit at the time ^^

Hah, and I always thought the lings running by were due to me forgetting to put my z on hold.
