for plat protoss:
W is the hotkey for warpgates...yeah

I used to use 3 just fine and have my army on 4-6 (BW style!)
After accidentally hitting W a few times I figured it out. Now I just ignore 3.
BW muscle memory for the win!

-When you want your rally point to follow your army, it can be annoying cause if the unit with the rally point die your reinforcement will go at the spot where it happened. So just Shift right clic on several units of you army, so when one will die, they will go for the next one.


This is a good one thanks.

-Warp prisms can load/unload while in phase more or even moving into or out of phase mode.
-When your probe is at exactly 1/4 build time, rally the nexus to a patch that a worker just finished mining from. This times out so the probe gets there right as the other one leaves and does not have to wait or look for a different patch.

I didn't just learn this but I'll post it because it's usefull:

-Workers ignore unit pathing while mining. This means with scouting workers, if you right click on the mineral patch in or out of the enemy base, your worker will go right through the enemy units. This is specifically usefull in ZvP scouting a base with 1 zealot on hold position.

The one thing that improved my sc2 tremendously was listening to Day9's oldschooll broodwar podcast about winning with an advantage. It really puts things in perspective and it made me almost instantaneously understand how to respond after i've won or lost a battle. My games tend to be longer because id rather control the map than push in for the win. I rarely push for the win in any game and most of the GG's come because im controlling the map and they are mined out. I like the idea of winning fight after fight in a match and creating a bigger gap in my advantage over time.

This didn't help me learn anything helpful but it was definitely fun: If you play zerg and mindcontrol protoss and terran, you can chronoboost terran structures xD.

Watching day9's casts... no really, just tons of dumb stuff that i usually do. But mostly, figuring out that i was able to hotkey all of my nexuses into one key to chronoboost -_-

That each creep tumor can throw down an additional creep tumor.

Finally made me figure out how some guys can spread this creep so damn well. Though my Queens are lazy now.

If you destroy the pylon where someone is warping in wg units the units are automatically cancelled (with 75% resources returned) and their production cycle is wasted.

I was shocked as well. I was watching decembers stream after playing zerg a whole month and going "how are all those creep tumors popping up with no queen??!?! Hax.

Then I felt stupid, really stupid.

Viking are not a counter to Carriers, not even a soft counter. They barely break even. Use marines with stim instead.

No, it cancels the units but it also ends the warpgate's cooldown. I'm fairly sure it also returns 100% of the cost rather than 75%, but I'm not entirely certain.

You don't need to play War of the Worlds for PvP midgame if you get the mother ship and a couple pheonix.

EDIT: And you can use feedback to pop thors for hella damage.

If you set your rally point on a unit you can shift set your rally point on another unit or ground location in the event that your rallied unit dies.

This will prevent your units from standing outside of each of their production facilities.

Same concept for setting your rally point to attack a scouting worker.

People almost never use the corruptor's spell. You can feedback corrupters, which have 200 max energy and 200 health, to one-shot them a lot of the time.

playing 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and you get a dropped player immediately, you need to rush with the extra income you get to even the odds. wait too long and its GG.

That there isn't a cap of seven larvae on hatcheries. I thought that no more larvae can be made on a hatch that a queen had spawned larvae on and the larvae weren't used.
