[WGhyperion]

damn nice splitting

[TheLarrie23]

wohhhhhhhhhha thats aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwweeeeeeeeeesAI­DSome



[weide1994]

just make some siege tanks, if see enemy rush banelings

[xDanielWangx]

I admit. That was some pretty good marauder splitting.

[Tagg360]

marauders are 2 food count units.... two banelings are 1 count of food. so.. yours was 80 food count vs 40 food count. you could have microd the mauaders back a bit and throw 1 at the banling ball

[TheRabidDeer]

@Tagg360 Yes, but resource cost 80 banelings is 4000 minerals/2000 gas, while marauders are 4000 minerals/1000 gas. Also, throwing a single marauder out at them isnt always reliable since you run out of room or run through chokes in most maps, which results in units clustering up and slowing down which can be bad. Spreading (especially if you dont have siege tanks) is better if you have the APM for it.

PS: I just selected units and moved them to spread, not hotkeys.

@Tagg360 two banelings aren't 1 food?

[Tagg360]

@Phrozenfury2 2 banelings = 1 food. so 80 banes are = to 40 food. 40 marauders are worth 80 counts of food

[Phrozenfury2]

@Tagg360 except 2 banelings aren't 1 food. if you make 1 larva worth of lings you get 2 food worth of lings, which makes 2 food worth of banes. 2 banes = 2 food. 80 banes = 80 food, 40 marauders = 80 food

[Tagg360]

@Phrozenfury2 .... When you make ONE zergling with ONE larva you create 2 zerglings which is ONE food. each zergling is worth 0.5 food. Ban lings do not require food in order to transform. one bangling is 0.5 food. The player is using 80 individual Banglings not 160 units of banglings. you can tell by the control tabs 24 banlings on each tab and 4 tab would be 80. 96 if its full but its not. 80 banglings = 40 food. Google it and play sc

Banelings arent that great against marauders, welcome to what was discovered in beta.

@ncsjcca2 This video was early into the life of SC2, and had you read the description of the video you would understand the point of the video. Thanks for the view and the trolling though.

zerg is op

[TheSimpa105]

Lolfail. The marauders was spread out, the banelings wasn't. Total cheat.

[aierce]

@TheSimpa105 if banelings are spread out too it's the same result, the reason spreading makes a difference because it negates aoe.

[screwlose]

lol burrow and walk over those deadly green land mines of mine =)

[horousyangthe1st]

well rauders do win cuz banes say extra dmg to light

marudersare armored so the banelings will deal =their regular dmg which is nothin to marauders

[abusedbunny]

how did u spread them out so fast?

[morten22pro]

@abusedbunny i think he used hotkeys to make small groups

[Betrayal360]

You should re name this as "How to counter marauders against banelings."

This really isn't a straight up clash.

And yet the trolls will cry imba against Zerg...
