One point in the OP is wrong:
Under the all races spoiler it says MULEs can be seen through Fog of War when they are called down. I forget which patch it was, but that has been corrected.

Aside from that, sweet thread. Didn't know about SCV's repairing from inside medivacs...thats pretty cool to know.

The obvious thing I learned was that you're playing a PERSON, who can only do a limited number of things at once...

The # of drops I do has now increased drastically ^_^

-you can hotkey locations on the map, warp-in spots or hatcheries, etc (the buttons are inconvenient so go to hotkeys-> global hotkeys, and change the location hotkey)

Terren - you can hide and build ur expo inside ur base and make SCVs til u r ready to take your expo.

-if you have big hands you can use the F-keys for hotkey groups, go change hotkeys in the hotkey menu

-there are custom maps that help you practice SPLITS, MACRO, MICRO, Build Order testing

-having specific mouse sensitivity settings matter (go read a guide about 1:1 mouse to pixel ratio)

-turning off/on music in sounds can help you play better

-you can import/export hotkeys to a different account by moving the hotkey folder from 1 account to another (this is in the mydocuments/starcraft 2/112321323123 <------ each number is a different account) remember to actually load the hotkeys

- being #1 in your league doesn't guarantee league promotion. Hidden MMR rating and being considered an active player (low bonus pool) determine league promotion.

-being inactive (high bonus pool) but having high MMR means your opponents could always be from higher leagues.

- 1 bonus pool point is generated every hour

-having all your production on 1 hot-key will allow you to produce from all of them (press tab to cycle through production facilities)

-holding shift and highlighting (with your mouse) a unit that is in the group will deselect or select them out of OR into your group.

-shift-clicking on portraits will remove units from your selected group.

-use the above method to send 1 unit to scout the tower. (click to move your army to the tower, shift deselect 1 unit using the above method, and then click where you want your entire army -1 unit to be at) Also remember to make a new hotkey for the army.. so the unit doesn't get moved off from the tower.

I just figured this one out the other day it wasn't really an issue for me because I rarely need to do it as terran but you can target flying units with spells by looking for the shadows as they are rather large for flying units. So this makes emp on void rays a bit easyer if your having problems clicking on one of them :/
First blood is as good as anything.

You could go in to the menu and turn on the flyer helper option which will colour the units when you're on top of them No need to look for shadows which can be quite difficult to see.

Terran: When you have an OC and a PF on the same hotkey, pressing S to queue up SCVs will max out the OC queue and won't queue up any on the PF. You have to press Tab to select the PF and then queue workers. Took me forever to figure this out while playing as Random.

Edit: Also if you have a regular CC in the mix, as well. When you have them all on one hotkey, it sorts it into OC -> CC -> PF. It'll select all the OCs by default (although all their portraits show up), so you have to tab through the CCs and PFs to get to them.

When watching replays, the "spending" tab often has useful information. Sometimes I don't understand why I lost, but then I see that I got hugely outspent on technology (of course, useful if understood correctly.)

Whatever modifier you use to select an entire group of something by clicking on one of them is that button you need. Probably also the same button you use to create a new control group.

wat? that's cool to know in base trade situations. I mean, guess you shouldn´t kill the addons then.




What, is this for real? No way dude, I have to tell my terran friends. This is probably the best thing I've ever learned from this thread.


Yep it's true. What I'd really love to see is the completely unlikely scenario where a TvT is down to one player with a tech lab, the other with a barracks. Barracks simply lands on tech lab and wins. Now that would be something to see.

Felt stupid when I used to a-move my blings at a group of marines instead of just moving at the ball and watching all the marines die instead of just half them dieing....Only works when the Terran doesn't split his army well of course.

An obvious one, but perhaps not everybody knows it:
When buildings are building you can already add them to a control group, in addition when the building is a production facility, you can already set your rally point during construction.

It really helped me, so I neve forgot about extra buildings I made and so that no units would just stand idle near their facility ^^
I'm from Belgium so I don't speak English really well. You can always correct me if it's done in a friendly manner ^^

I realised getting 21 sentries before a robo wasn't too good of an idea... I got into platinum doing that... somehow. Almost instantly got into diamond once I stopped doing that.
