Protoss stalker trick
Protoss stalker trick
Well i was browsing through some videos and i found a very cool trick for Protoss that can be very useful in certain situations. The trick requires 3 things
1. A lot of stalkers
2. An Observer (for vision of the destination)
3. Blink researched
Lets face it, when you want to blink all your stalkers a long distance, (lets say from one island to another) it ain't always easy. a lot of them will try to blink across but they can't because there is not enough room for them to all make it across.
An example would be on Scrap Station. between both players is a floating island, you can just barely blink your stalkers across to that island and then, further to your opponent main base, therefor it would take a lot of time to actually blink a whole army of stalkers across.
But there is a really easy way to do this, all you have to do is using multiple commands. you set your stalkers a bit away from the edge where you want to blink across. then make them go to the edge, and before they get there you have to hold shift and then press the blink button (key command - B (i think)), and then another move button so there will be enough room for all the stalkers to blink across.
Here is the 3 step way to do it
1. Make your stalkers go where you want to blink from
2. While holding shift, press blink to the destination
3. Still holding shift make them go a bit further so there is room for all stalkers to blink.
I hope you understood the method/tactic. there is a video of this aswell:
I don't have anything to do with the discovering of this method or the youtube video, just posting it on to you guys =)

Pretty cool, didn't know that you could actually blink to that island on Scrap station.
Cool trick :)
