Crackling – lings with BOTH the movement speed AND attack speed upgrades. This is how I've always used it. Correct to your mind, yes, no? I ask 'cuz a friend told me this was wrong, and insists that adrenalings and cracklings are the same thing. Admittedly, lings with the attack upgrade and no speed upgrade should be rare. no idea what is official, but amongst my little gang of Brood War players Cracklings were zerglings with both the speed and attack upgrade no one ever had the attack-speed upgrade without the movement-speed upgrade so Adrenaling never got used as word...movement-speed is a very early game upgrade and attack-speed is like a tier-3/late game upgrade so i can't see having attack-speed without movement-speed... but wtf do i know. | ||

TBF, there's a recent VOD from SSL11 where Hero or some other top Zerg forgot to get the attack-speed upgrade at Hive level. Speedlings all game long, much to the shock of the casters. So, weird stuff does happen once in awhile... even though it shouldn't. It's not intentional, it's either a mistake, or a 'newb thing'. Someone else in the thread clarified that adrenaling is the Korean term for crackling (guess they don't call crack 'crack' in Korea), which is probably how I heard it first, and I just attributed it to an upgrade mistake. tl;dr : I messed up.  | ||
