Yeah 40 lings for this is a bit much, but I think the vid was designed to show an equal amount of resources. He actually has quite a few lings left over after the thor goes down. My concern is if the scvs were repairing each other or not, just following the thor might've made them not repair each other? It seems like they would if they were on auto repair, but I'd like to confirm this. | ||

pure theorycraft - roach meatshield to take initial hit then bling grind against thors? (where you move them in back and forth around the thor so the blings roll around the thor and splash the scvs?) | ||

However, it's huuuge against PFs. Basically, any unit on hold position targets the units closest to it. So, if you run your slings back to where the scvs are repairing and put them on hold position, they will target the SCVs. Or, if you are attacking a mineral line and dont want your lings to get distracted by a single stalker shooting at them, hold position and they will focus the workers who run by (until, of course, your opponent runs them away). | ||

My only fear is blizzard will see this as a bug and nerf it D: Great find though in seriousness, hope this gets spotlighted. This is in no way a bug, it just relies on the hold position making the lings attack the adjacent scvs. It is similar to hold position in a mineral line (otherwise the lings ignore mining scvs and run back out to attack the enemy army). | ||
