This isn't true at all. Was it ever?


I think it was, but it was removed I guess.



Around 14 minutes in.


Those are his, not his ally's. So if you happen to neural a probe and build a nexus then yeah it'll work.

Can the OP be updated? Some of the stuff isn't necessarily true anymore, like the MULE dropping thing. Great list though.

(only if you have time ofc)

Clearly someone saw Psy's tips and tricks videos regarding this one though, I believe drones actually have 40 health, although they'll still beat a probe one on one as they'll regenerate at least one hit point during the fight.

True. Another wonder of SC2 though. Probes are weakest worker unit, however, with micro, you can circle hurt ones around until their shield regens, and then they are far better than drones and SCVs 1 on 1.

CB on a nexus builds probes faster, which equals faster mining. However, the resource gather per probe remains the same.

Yeah when I played my first few games as Protoss I thought I noticed the probe animation moving faster when they were close to a CBed nexus. But it was just wishful thinking.
Can we get an official definition of "all-in"? Please?

hallucinated colossus benefits from the Thermal Lance range research :D

helpful because your LSD colossus stays out of the range of cannons or other detection.

You can call down supplies on an ally's supply depot if you're both terran.

also that hallucinated colossus idea is pretty cool.

Oh i just figured out the coolest thing today. When playing as random you can tell what race you are going to be playing as about 30seconds earlier because of which cursor you have on the loading screen.

WOA, didnt know you could set burrowed zerg units to autocast!!! Does this mean you can randomly burrow 2 banelings everywhere all over the map, get them to autocast and they will unburrow when terran units are on top of them??? If so I can see this drastically changing my ZvT.

My contribution. An obvious thing, if your zerg and you want to quickly saturate a new expansion, have all your hatches grouped into one group and click it to the mineral patch of your new expansion. You can quickly build 15-20 drones to head there when they hatch without manually doing it yourself. Really helped me saturate.

This was the most beautiful piece of information when I figured this out.

Every time I'm on at a hug lead, I fill up 6 medivacs with vikings and just drop his base and get up and fly away.

OH MY GOD THIS I realised this yesterday too after playing maybe my 80th game of random, I was so happy. I really like being able tell what matchup I'm going to be playing (unless the other guy is random of course) before the game starts, gives me a few seconds to think about my plan.
I don't always write a quote, but when I do, it's always this one.

You can go fast lair to contaminate warp gate research with an overseer if you're quick and basically force a GG right there.

this is something that took me a while to figure out, but in options, if you go to the display page, you can change the resolution from windowed, windowed(fullscreen) and fullscreen. Windowed(fullscreen) is basically full screen but wen u click alt-tab or windows key you can look at other things while sc2 is still running in the background. in other words, you never minimize the sc2 window and lag. you can click back on the game and play straight away. i saw some of the casters do this but didnt realise how until a few weeks ago. its quite convenient as i can surf the net, change music tracks etc while in a ladder game and not worry about lagging or the amount of time it takes to get bak in the game

I found out you can select unload all and then select your dropship and it drops units on the move.

10 years of playing Starcraft and I didn't know this!! Please tell me others didn't know this! I thought you just had to always individually select the units within the dropship to do this.

Kinda contradictory though because the moment you attack with it they see it does no damage and know it's fake anyway
