Many Zerg units can have Unburrow set to autocast.

Notable because really, who's looking at the Unburrow tooltip these days? It's easily missed.

Great thread

So, what are you guys actually doing for queen micro? Since hotkeying hatchery/queen together doesn't seem to work? Do you have hatcheries in one hotkey (for general larva spawning), and queens in another, injecting larva through the minimap or do you manually put the screen on hatcheries and then inject larva by placing inject larva on the graphical hatchery?

Also, if you hotkey all the queens and use inject larva, will always the closest queen go to the hatchery you injected on (provided both have enough energy to do it)?


I spam backspace. Constantly.

Note that I'm not the OP and can't update the first post, so I have been updating my list on page 6. Should it be moved to a new thread?


GJ updating, but mixing in the "noob" tips with the "pro" tips makes it confusing and annoying to have to read through.

ALT + G = Map pinger
CTRL + RIGHT CLICK = Attack while moving (units must be selected)
And forgive me nothing for I truly meant it all

Here's one for terran that i personally found really useful when i found out about it.
(i'm not sure if it has been posted yet)

when you have your ball of MMM and you want to load up your rines/rauders into the medvacs you can just select your entire army (medvacs inlcuded it doesn't matter) and shift click all your medvacs and the units will load up until 1 is full and move onto the next one you clicked on.

i hope this helps some people ^^

oh i just remembered another one

you'll probably all know about this one but maybe somebody doesn't yet (i didn't before to long ago )

say you have 5 marines hotkeyed on '1' and you have a marauder selected.
if you click ctrl + 1, '1' becomes that marauder
but if you click shift + 1 you add that marauder to the group so '1' becomes your 5 marines + that marauder.




Altho that is indeed very useful, it worked exactly the same in SC1.
this game is a fucking jokie

When it says "players found", move your mouse to the center of the screen.

when the round starts, your mouse will be right over/next to your scvs/drones so you can select them faster to get them mining.

(not a huge thing, but ever second counts, right?)

I think your post is good enough for its own thread, especially if u are constantly updating it. Ask a mod about it, and you should bold stuff that some people might not know, so experienced players wouldnt have to read thru all that basic stuff to find out new tricks.

Protip: If you keep accidentally pressing your windows button or alt-tabbing out in the middle of a game, select your resolution setting to be "Windowed Fullscreen" It will be just like it was fullscreen in terms of performance and whatnot, but if you alt tab or press the windowed button nothing will happen and you can continue on your way.

I know it's nothing huge, but helpful to new players.

wow, how did i get top 10 platinum without knowing F1 and W = Warp Gate

so many times have i cued in units in ONE of many gates (hotkey grouped) because it wasn't transformed into a warp gate and couldn't call in extra units now it won't happen again



top10 platinum isn't that hard. i got to top10 using only MMM + SCV. No tanks, no ghosts, no thors.
Plus, i suck at this game.
i type teamliquid into the url subconsciously... all...the...time...

Holding shift and pressing F1 multiple times selects all idle workers.

Alternatively, go in Options / Gameplay and disable the windows button altogether.

I guess this is the place to ask.

>Can I save a location so when I hit space(or any other key by that matter), I get directed to my saved location instead of the location of a recent event?

your first question is answered a couple of posts above
for the 2nd question, you can save locations with "ctrl+F5-F8" so save, and simply F5-F8 to jump to those

(tho i REALLY hope to get my F2-F4 back)
