No idea if this was mentioned already, but when I was watching jinro during some of the GSL games, I saw his SCVS sometimes bugging out at the minerals...and then i'm like....OHHHHH...he was spam right clicking on the closest mineral patches to get that SCV in the queue on that patch so there could be two SCVs mining from the closest patches.

People might wanna start doing this every game...it's pretty much like the mineral boosting thing from b4 except legit on some maps like LT though it makes negligible difference because a lot of the patches are almost all the same distance, but on other maps it can make around a 50-70 mineral difference early game.

I've learned this recently, and this is pretty obvious...

When you get hooked on losing streak for days, the most common thing is to look at whats wrong with your gameplay. But there is no real answer to that. Instead you should think more outside the box. What can you do to destroy your enemy? Do you feel like you would be able to Nydus his main while attacking his workers in his expansion?

Strike yourself with opportunity, rather than just making the same mistakes all over again. This thinking pattern gets more evaluated the higher you get into the game.

When this happens to me, I take a break and get enough sleep. Last friday, 1 win, 8 losses.
Saturday, 1 loss, 8 wins. :-)

Hitting Alt- Windows still takes you to your desktop even with alt-tab and windows key disabled.

No idea why I even hit those buttons, but it was frusterating as hell when I was about to beat this Zerg and I do that crap and end up having to close SC2 and take that free loss

Fixed by popping off the windows button though :D

I fixed this by deselecting the option "disable windows key", then re-anabling it.

"- on Scrap Station (with vision) you can blink to and from the island, and past rocks."

I tested this myself and couldn't get it to work, either the map has been changed since or I'm doing it wrong, is anyone able to upload a replay or a video of them doing it recently? I've attempted it from both bases and it doesn't even appear possible to even blink onto the island (and yes, I was spotting it with and observer).

This was patched recently, you can now only blink across gaps that are connected by land in some way.

Or something like that

As far as I know, Scrap Station used to be possible to blink across before Blizzard adjusted the maps to prevent it. Nothing to do with weird blink coding, just distance was changed to protect against Blink Stalker cheesiness, like a space brolossus.
After all this time, I still haven't figured out the correlation between sexual orientation and beating an unprepared opponent. Are homosexuals the next koreans? Many players seem to think it's an unfair advantage. - pandaburn

Well I was having a lot of trouble with tank pushes in pvt and then I found out a nice little trick. When you scout out that its going to be one-base tank push, 4 immortals can 1 shot tanks. So this has helped me a ton in defending these pushes.

Terran can load up units in a Command Center & lift it off
Orbital commands can lift off but can't load up units
Planetary fortresses can't lift off but can load up units

PROTOSS-Psionic storms can kill ALL the eggs in the hatchery. I wonder why it isn't mentioned since even 'Helions can kill eggs' was mentioned which is pretty common knowledge.
ZERG- You can make creep highways by using overlord's 'Generate creep' ability. It allows for extremely fast deployment of Zerg forces. Also, Drones can burrow too,
TERRAN-The nuke timing is perfectly aligned with the Protoss Mothership's vortex. So vortex your enemy's army then immediately ask your ally to nuke vortex. The nuke will fall on enemies EXACTLY when they come out and destroy his whole army in one shot. Extremely overpowered in team games.
<3 to all fellow gamers.

Left clicking on the minimap has the same effect as left clicking on the map. I sorta knew this from an old queen inject method, but recently I've been putting it into play more with ling scouts, overlord scouts, and searching for stuff like proxy pylons. If you have a rough target, minimap clicks are waaaay faster than screen scrolling, and still faster than shifting view with the minimap and then clicking on the map.

edit: left/right, same difference

in Extinction (4v4) the farthest expo is not an island but just a ditch where your stalker can get stuck when blinks to it

I still don't know how to do that. I must be pressing the keys in the wrong order or something D:

On 07.07.10, beta patch 16.
There was a bug, where blink range was effectively increased, if there was unpathatable terrain in the way. You can still blink over gaps and such just fine, just the bug was fixed.
This also fixed blinking on top of ramps blocked by rocks with no spotter.
I'll call Nada.
