Scary and underused Immortal micro

I've never seen Immortals + Warp Prisms used and abused quite like this:

(Immortal micro begins at 10:52 - although the whole replay is really quite interesting)


I'm wondering if this type of high APM micro will become more common. Units such as Immortals/Tanks can abuse their attacks to instantly deal damage and avoid shots from roaches/spines/marauders etc. I think we'll see a lot more of this as players critique their multitasking to accommodate such advanced micro.

I think this is just one example that illustrates how high the skill ceiling truly is for SC2.

very heartening to see micro that doesn't involve kiting/focus fire being used in sc2. iirc, the same thing was attempted with colossi awhile ago but was abandoned quite quickly, though i think that the immortal+warp prism micro is a lot more practical and could actually be used vs heavy roach play in pvz.

he didn't need the micro to win that game at all. He was just messiing around cause he was going to win.

The roach and spine shots still only gonna do 10, and then u can just lift away and let full recharge and go back in after 10 hits or so.

PS- The queens AA is 9 range and can rape the weak ass warp prism from well out of range of the immortal or support.

People were doing immortal drops first month of beta. I believe louder and KHB we fans of it. Then recently for MLG or something HuK or someone did a build vs Idra where he rushed this drop and warped in zeals and shit with the immortals.
A man is what he thinks about all day long.

It was the Immortal drop that allowed him to hold off far more Roaches than he was suppose to, that micro was the win.

As a Zerg player, that sort of cannon abuse at the beginning makes me depressed. Even though the protoss epic failed with that cannon wall-in, he still ended up crippling that poor zerg player. The force fielding just made it even harder to watch.

I am so glad that they are nerfing that wall-in and making 50% more expensive to do.

It's pretty cool, but actually immortals aren't the best unit for that. Zealots are actually just as good, and much cheaper!

I agree with your post. In the MLG game you mention (IdrA vs Kiwikaki), the situation was quite different, however. There was no Warp Prism micro. IdrA has posted a very nice analysis video here:

Why didn't the zerg put up nydus at his base, the only reason he lost was because he was attacking down his ramp into a bad concave.

That was some impressive force-fielding by NS, instant timing and perfect placement. It dosen't make me depressed, just impressed at how powerful and useful sentries still are. I feel like i haven't seen sentry micro like that since beta; good show.

Yeah the micro was nice, but he didn't need it to win, he was just messing around. Kinda makes me miss shuttle/reaver micro though.

That micro was definitely impressive, but unnecessary. APM could be better spent macroing. But it was still a very entertaining game and it's good to know immortals and warp prisms can pull that off.

Who cares if he didn't need it to win, that was sick! I rewatched that part several times because it was just so broodwaresque. I'm definetly going to try this because that was just too epic.
