That when you are doing the backspace inject and having the nomadic queens problem that you can just hit S for stop and you will never have to lose games just trying to find your queens again!

You should edit the "You can feedback ANYTHING with energy" to any unit with energy, you can't feedback Nexi/Orbitals.

Not sure if someone said this, but u can add unit to a control group by: selecting the units, hold shift, then hit the desired hotkey. this can be especially useful for zergs (with good macro). With roach ling on 1, make round of roach (spending all larva), hold shift, then 1. now all ur units can be instantly rallied to whever ur army is

Protoss: HT's storm can one-shot a good deal of saved-up zerg larvae. Found out when going for the Combat achievement where you need to kill 20 units with a single HT's storms.

Terran: (quite obvious but maybe worth stating): Battlecruisers' Yamato Cannon one-shots lesser air units and can't be dodged, which seems to be one of the best uses of that ability. Especially when unassisted battlecruisers run into vikings and especially since battlecruisers are so slow that retreating is practically pointless (because they will die anyway but without dealing damage before). So don't waste Yamato on isolated turrets (or any turrets when you have like 3 armour upgrade) and don't waste any time firing those Yamatos as any damage you deal from ordinary BC weapons before landing a Yamato is wasted (since Yamato one-shots). And don't think a second before firing Yamatos at capital ships, either (ONE each). And don't forget you have the Yamatos (used to happen to me).

Creep Tumors display a team color while they still retain the ability to spawn a new tumor. When the ability is used, the color disappears and they become "creep" colored. You can use this to quickly assess which Tumors can still be used.

When I transferred drones from gas to minerals or vice-versa, I used to either wait until they delivered their cargo, or didn't wait and so they lost it. Watching IdrA I realized you don't have to sacrifice either time or money! Tell the worker to go harvest something else, and then hit "C". If he has any cargo, he will deliver it, and then go to its new destination. I now hit C as a reflex whenever I redirect a worker.

I can't say this improved my play much though. What did, however, was realizing I didn't make enough drones and just massing drones all game long.

I embarrassed to say, but I didn't know for the longest time that creep tumors will spawn an additional creep tumor.
