LiquidTLO vs. TorcH - MLG Dallas Winner's bracket round 3

Hey guys! I got a new cast for you today! This is a pretty exciting matchup and I think I have all the technical kinks worked out (I lowered the game sound). I wasn't tired at all after a long rest (sorry for the lack of posts btw) and a good weekend. Now it's time to get back into the swing of things and enjoy some more replays and strategies! This is a matchup between some pretty good players, my first time seeing torch and TLO is always fun to watch.

Every time I watch a zerg match I can't help but think of how much they are like crazy greedy people putting others (especially terran) out of business and driving them bankrupt! Which would result in the need for a bankruptcy attorney. Zerg love to expand early and often with total map control leaving the other players economically hurting, and essentially in bankrupt. They would need a real good attorney to fight off the zerg though. :p

Strategy Today! - Mutalisk Magic Box

This is a strategy that I learned from watching a couple videos and reading about it on another blog. This is a zerg strategy for mutalisk micro called the "magic box". In this strategy, you will be able to use mutalisks effectively to avoid enemies with large splash damage like thors. This is a good idea to think about and remember when fighting against a tech-heavy terran player.

The magic box is the formation that the mutalisks stay in when they are not bunched up. In order to execute the magic box, you simply tell your mutalisks to move together underneath them. They should then bunch up and in the subsequent 2-3 seconds, spread apart. This spread formation is the magic box. It helps significantly against splash damage attackers, as can be seen in the video above. It is a different way of using mutalisks than pushing them together in a tight group for one attack. As you can see in the video it is extremely effective. Enjoy!
