EDIT: some of you people think i made it! i didnt! i am simply informing you of a new micro trick.

i person credited with this is Thorn, praise him!



If you liked the magic box, you will like this even more.







There is a micro technique you can use to wipe out early Thor + SCV rushes with equal ammounts of resources, and with considerably less losses.







Test: 40 zerglings vs 1 Thor + 10 scvs







1000m vs 800m/200g







I have tried this a few times now and it has worked every time.







Sometimes the zerglings actually force the SCVs away from the thor and do tons of damage to the thor, other times they hit the scvs and kill them. Either way it causes you to win.

In the video all SCVs are set to auto move to thor to repair it (Instead of repairing eachother first), also works if SCVs are set to auto repair.







To execute this maneuver, right click the thor, then hit hold position, right click again, hold position, etc.







When the zerglings circle the thor, they are in very close proximity to the scvs. When you hit hold position, the zerglings circling will attack the scvs, because the ai will not let them move to try to engage the thor. The zerglings who were already attacking, will not be affected, and infact prevent scvs from shoving them out of the way.







You have now learned the speedling slipknot.
