Congratulations. You have finished the Starcraft micro tutorial.

@michaels19880102 No, it's not. He does it because in Brood War units won't respond to their commands until their animations are done (attack and move animation iirc, could only be attack though). He tells all 3 marines to do something on 3 control groups, then selects a fourth one with all of them in it, and tells them all to stop. With timing, it's a perfect dodge.

it's played on speed 1.

@GodfuckedmeNoooo Nop. There is a proof, filmed from the players' perspective.

@Mistrzou1 even you use patrol, the marines could stood still and fire , this vid is fake

[Mistrzou1]

he use option patrol for all 3 terran marines in the vid or how can he run 3 marines at the same time? :P

@DScharff24 It's not. There's a vid online somewhere that shows this happening from the player's POV.

It's not a bot. here's a hint. When a marine fires, it will not commit any further action until it's current action has finished... So basically whats happening here is the player issuing 3 move commands during the fraction of a second while the marine fires his gun, when the fire command is over, all 3 marines move at the same time, even though the first move commands happens well before they actually moved...

Consider top players are able to do 3-5 independent actions per second.

I'm positive it's a bot.

[DScharff24]

@Fivyrn0rz Yeah...the way he's moving the marines literally simultaneously, there's no way it's not a bot

[Fivyrn0rz]

This is certainly a bot, I am too lazy to look up which one though. I saw this footage in a video about SC2 bots.
