I've just noticed how good +1 lings are.
Seriously, it has totally changed my zvp!
Kinda similiar story, after watching TLO on GSL I realized how epic fast upgrades are, ok its like 5-6 units less but in an actual fight it makes SO much of a difference. I was rather like many other (even obviously korean) players that I tended to go +1 (+2 for collosi eventually), perhaps in a long game +1 armor and then totally forget about upgrades.
It doesn't cost much, it doesnt take any space in the production cue, most of the time I can afford a forge anyway (later also a 2nd) and it suddenly makes my units feel so much stronger (especially Stalkers and Guardian Shields for instance, soo good).

I realized how good feedback is in TvP against Mass Medivacs over a bioball. I used to psi storm a lot which is ok if there are only a few medivac. However, if there are more it's really nice to feedback some and then storm the rest. If there are 2 many medivacs they simply will heal all units (which run away from storm anyways) and it's like wasting a storm for almost nothing. Draining medivacs will in principle have a similar effect like psi storm only longer lasting.
And feedback is also great against medivac drops, so leaving 1-2 HTs in every base will work wonders.

I thought for the longest time that a Cybernetics Core cost 200 minerals  Damn you Broodwar!

the point of spamming is to maintain high apm so that you are "on the go" and to warm up your hands. Holding down a key doesnt really help anything.
@ OP, i hate to shit all over your parade but 900 is pretty low diamond, or low-middle

It's okay to warm up with useless APM, but in this case, you actually lose something ( time) because of spam
It's better to hold the key 1 sec rather than spam it 15 times,

Timing pushes...seriously once I learned about those I actually started winning games.

Edit: repairing mules already added, sorry.

I learned that when Terran can mass a bioball and 1 a into a well microd army they have a good chance unless the opposing player is on two bases, so I play League of Legends now.

One thing that has greatly improved my success on the Ladder was to acknowledge how bad Zerg is and switching to another race... same here: by switching form Z to T for a week, I realized, you don't need 50 apm or a gameplan to play Diamond Terran.
This shit is getting so old :/

What does this thread have to do with being in Diamond? Seriously, retards like you want to turn everything into an e-peen measuring contest.
On-topic - Learning stutter step micro / attack animation cancelling helped me to win a lot of micro wars, especially allowing me to get into good positions much faster and not wasting dps time by simply a + moving.

This thread has been a great read and an eye opener for sure. Mad props to the OP and everyone who contributed.

you can use the extractor trick all game long if you need to squeeze out a fast queen all game long.
Burrow is a great anti-harass tool good
vs Bansheez even with your queen - forces scans.
if you neural parasite an opponents larvae you hav access to ther tech tree (ie. Ultras)
you can neural parasite with a neural parasited Infestor.
Armor upgrade formTerranz ffects auto turrets.
Uf you nuke more then twic under 2 secs you can sonetimes be fast enough so the gane inly gives 1'nuckear launch warning.

- You can press alt + [Hotkey] to activate auto-skills instead of rightclicking
- With auto-repair scvs you can attack-move and shift-rightklick back to the minerals. They will repair everything and then go back mining
- A Medivac is slower than a Stalker (without blink)

I learned how to shift queue Stalker blink. Needless to say, I have a new build under my belt. What does this do? What is the point?
If you select like 20 stalkers and have them blink up a cliff, some of them will overflow and might not make it up the cliff, instead go to the side or something. Whereas if you move command them to below the cliff, and issue the blink command (while still holding shift) they'll each make it to that point one or two at a time and blink up the cliff (also issuing a move command away from the ledge in the queue is a good idea as well)

that Extractors only costs 25min lolol.
If you cancel a creep tumour when it's under fire, you can get it back to your previous one.
...and for some really stupid reason, I kept thinking Hydras were 100gas because they're t2 -____-"
Roach also don't get burrow after researching tunneling claw.
AND ULTRALISKS/QUEEN CAN BURROW lolololol.

I dunno if anyone mentioned it before but..
If you have 2 OC in a group, they will produce 1 scv each if you press 'S' twice.
Likewise with 2 CC, but if you have 1 OC and 1 CC grouped, then the OC will queue scvs instead of having one building in the CC.

Thanks for reopening, this thread isn't like a "post your shit thread" because people actually read every post and learn stuff before posting their own things.
