I wasn't talking about pure bio armies.

On the other hand, you got a point there. Does a pure bio tvp have any notable chances? Personally I dont know.

if youre apm was 1000 and your micro was the equivalent to having 5 slayers boxers controlling your army, then maybe it could be viable. 2 dropships full of m&m drops nexus' like nothing, meanwhile the rest of your bio army is fighting toss while microing out the injured units like crazy. but seriously, no its not viable at all unless its really early game (bbs)

pure bio and biomech both work ok until storms come up

a manner building is one that blocks your opponents mining or buildings
for example pylon where the machine shop goes in PvT, taking your opponent's gas, or ebay where the 12hat goes in TvZ

yes but it still would be delayed.
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

it doesnt have to be blocking something to be a manner building
just building the building somewhere its not expected to be built pretty much.
you can get manner cc/nexus/hatcheries as well

Theoretically if you were gosu as fuck you could lockdown all the reavers, EMP High Templar, destroy speedlots with firebats, and melt dragoons with marines. Theoretically. If you could get to a point where you have enough shit and tech and APM to do it.

Everything has a purpose there was one game where a Protoss placed a pylon where the machine shop goes so the Terran lifted but then the Protoss obnoxiously ran around under the factory (while being chased) and blocked it from landing with itself, whatever unit was chasing it, and pylons until by the time the Terran finally started construction of the machine shop he had a dragoon force knocking on his front door and no tank to deal with it

If I shoot a unit that has 100 shield with 200 damage does the unit lose shield and gets 100 damage to the body? Or just loses shield?

Pros hotkey comsats on 9-0 using f2-f3 to switch screens and they also use mouse right? How in the hell do they do it so fast? I mean your left hand has to be in 3 different places at once. Any gosu suggestions?

muscle memory i guess? one trick is to lessen using your mouse in moving the screen. as much as possible use hotkeys to move the screen and have your mouse at the center of the screen. if you need to navigate the map, click the mini map rather than moving there scrolling with your mouse.

keyword: lessen.

well, this is how i do it tho.

Well they switch the screen with f-hotkeys but the mouse is required to select the comsats, so they probably don't press 9 and 0 with their right hand, which leaves left hand to press f2, hold ctrl and press 9, then f3 - 0. When I watch them though it seems they do it much faster than it is humanly possible.

The comsats can be bound to hotkeys. And usually left hand is doing everything.
You press 0 then scan then 9 and scan. What is so difficult about this?

he's referring to how fast they can hotkey with only using your left hand.

the sequence is f2 -> ctrl + 0

he's asking how do they do it so fast (since your thumb should be reaching accross the keyboard)

im thinking is they're using the right hand side ctrl?

You simply press F2, move your hand to the right of the keyboard while clicking the comast, press Right Ctrl + 0 then press F3, click comsat, Right Ctrl + 9.
