There's another thread, but learning that you can check the races of the opponents by clicking that icon in the top right has helped a lot in casual team games.

Back to the OP's realization that you can use chrono boost on warp gates to reduce their cool down, if you time it right, you can benefit from it speeding up more than just one cool down cycle. I've warped in Zealots, boost some gates, warped in more Zealots, and I notice that the gates I boosted still finish cooling down a little earlier than the non-boosted gates.

I still don't know how to drop units from medivac properly.

You can bind all queens to one hotkey. Then select all queens and inject larva to a hach. The closest queen will inject which means the queen which actually guarding the expansion.

There is one huge problem with that tho.
If you got good macro and is perfect on your inject timings, the closest queen will have 23/24 energy when inject is done, if you atempt injecting then the closest queen with the highest energy count will make a run for it, and that can be quite far.

Personally I got all hatches on one key(1), and then uses backspace to cycle through the hatcheries and just targets the queen and inject hatch (you can target pretty much anything, the queen takes presedence).
Also I got backspace keybound to macro button (G19), but you can keybind it to caps lock or pipe or some other as well.

Just found out factories only cost 150/100. I've been waiting til 200/100 to drop down my factory every game.

Not me, but my friend learned that you can move a unit by right clicking. For whatever reason he thought you had to press "m" even though he has seen my friend and I plenty of times.

You can switch to the grid system for hotkeys. Thank goodness for the grid system.

Back in beta when I was in silver and stuff, learning to always produce workers improved my play heaps.

Something that I have recently found out is that you can shift queue up patrol move. This is especially useful because if you shift queue it so the start point is at the same place as the end point the unit will go around in a triangle/rectangle/whatever shape you made. Super super nice for scouting cause you just shift patrol queue a probe and make a rectangle around his base and he/she/it will continuously move, so you dont have to keep updating the shift normal move.

Here is a picture to demonstrate.

PZ 2v2 team can use overlords vision + pylon outside enemy cliff to warp into their base.

Someone could confirm this, but I believe any unit immediately put inside a warp prism will instantly start regaining shields without the pause that usually occurs after they exit combat. This is very good for immortals.

After several weeks of hearing about muta "magic boxes" vs thors and only having a vague idea what it was about, I finally looked it up tonight. Doh! I've lost matches for not having researched that earlier...

Delta Quadrant / Tarsonis Assault have spots with "gaps" instead of cliffs allowing Protoss easy access to behind walls... warping-in across the gap very early in the game.

(or sneaking DT's past pesky supply depot walls)

Die terran scum!
