Zerg Answer to Terran Mech - The Magic Box

A shockingly simple way to manage mutas against thors. If nothing else, this tactic will force Terran players to vary their unit compositions to something other than just thor, tank, hellion. Remember, when using mutas against thors, don't break the magic box!

I realize 24 mutas vs. 4 thors is a stacked scenario, but I'm passing on the tactic, I'm not going for accuracy in this video. Make your own scenarios to test out.

Just incredible.

This is not my idea, I'm just spreading the knowledge. Original link here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=145719

I like how in the suggestions is all starcraft, then randomly "fitness - cardio strength workout" and has a chick with big tits. Your not clicking it because you care about fitness, are you, starcraft player?

Well, I have watched quite a few Starcraft casts with pro games and I can't say I remember vikings being used against mutas (or even for sniping overlords - in TvZ they are only used against broodlords, I guess) in any of them. Typically Terran players counter mutas with marines in early-mid game and thors late.

how come there isn't any magic box for ground units?

@Trias88 Getting one viking instead of one medivac once you get reactor up is pretty good, as you will remove a lot of map controll and just be general annoying to the zerg

[IceHarmony]

@Trias88 they don't always counter, but if you invest enough, they can equalize with mutas without being effected by banelings, better than having a horde of marines being steam rolled by banes, sieges harm the marines too, vikings basically are not as good, but less goes wrong. better still, if you do live, you can harass the zerg after with the vikings. I really don't know how good they are, im zerg not a terran player, but that my view anyway.

@IceHarmony

Vikings do not counter mutas. It's the other way around.

I suppose the counter to muta - baneling would be marine - siege tank.

@qwas12348gr5 He -says- that method 2 is the best. Derp? 2:06 and learn about it. Unless you're counting the first one where he just picks one and autoattacks it as a version of the magic box. Which it isn't.

[qwas12348gr5]

Nice video, but method #2 is actually better then method #3. It's better to move your mutas over, then press S (to stop them), and THEN focus-fire the thors, rather then just moving them over and stopping them :D

THUMBS UP so people see.

@ShvenWonk Now there's a also the "Worst Nipple Piercing Reaction Ever" vid, which seems to be in the suggestions for every vid nowadays. lol
