When my corsair or speed shuttle encounters scourge, I make a bee-line back to my cannons. If I move the trajectory at all, the scourge usually catches up and kills the fella. The question: How the heck do pros like Bisu twist and turn their flying units around so that the scourge doesn't catch up? Is there a certain angle I'm missing? I'm completely baffled by this mystery, and if anyone could explain how to dodge scourge, I would much appreciate it. | ||

How to dodge the scourge while maintaining air unit speed? maybe i'm wrong and this is impossible, but when i watch pro zvzs they seem to scourge dodge/attack while moving at constant speed. | ||

Against normal lings, workers are the same rate as them, so you can dodge with good micro. Pros dodge speedlings by trickery. They switch direction, do a lot of funny business, clip through minerals, etc. etc. It confuses the AI so that their scouts don't die. What isn't obvious in progames is that both players are furiously microing their scouts/lings to keep their scout alive or to kill the scout, but it isn't obvious the the casual viewer. To the OP, you can't dodge scourage with sairs. You just have to fly them far enough so the scourge doesn't catch you or until you can fly over cannons or something and the scourage has to back off. The key is always, always maintain airspeed - if you stop or forget about your sair, it's dead. | ||

Nah just kiddin, I saw a highlight of Rainbow where he did something with his corsairs, he made them dance over the cannon and the zerg pulled back when he realized that the cannon was owning stuff... | ||

Which is what most people do. they get confused so, so rarely in my games that I wonder :/ I always get hit when I do the "chinese triangle" but it works fine in UMS. I think the computer just can't micro | ||
