When warping units as protoss, you can
[hold unit hotkey] + click click click
instead of
hotkey+ click, hotkey+ click, hotkey+ click,

shift + "control group number" to add units to a particular group instead of remaking the whole group each time. Learned that at end of beta -_-

Why is that ?
and wouldn't this be less effective if you want to warp different kind of units ?

You can feedback Corruptors, banshee's Thor, Queen. To me it was always obvious I could feedback Ghosts, and other high templar. but some of those other units don't really stick out as "Psionic"

Since most people don't use corruption or 240 MM cannon most of the units sit there with full energy, ripe for feedback.

I find myself going Templar tech a lot more often rather than predictable Colossus.

alt+htoky is the toggle of certain spells ie: repair, build interceptors.

The hold key method works because of key press repeating, there is a small delay after your press the key before it starts repeating, if you inadvertently click on something between your first warp in and the start of the key repeating (say the unit you warped in for instance) you'll deselect your warpgates.

Corruptors can be feedbacked, and so is Overseer.

I often forget that they have energy.
Carrier has arrived.

Raven's Hunter Seeker Missile will one-shot larvae, and, having a pretty decent AoE, it will likely take out all available larvae at a hatchery if targeted correctly.

i never played sc1 and i remember when i learned about shift clicking to queue stuff during the beta. blew my mind. probably the one thing that improved my game the most. (though totally obvious to you guys), oh that and the hold command for choke points. learned that one shortly after.

some other stuff i use a lot and take for granted:

- hitting spacebar if you happen to fly off your base at the start of the game and haven't hotkeyed it
- backspace for toggling bases (though i map it to a diff key on my keyboard since it's so far away)
- ctrl-f1 to select all idle workers (shift f1, f1 also work for single units)
- shift queue blink-attack moves (via the hdstarcraft demo on LT)
- alt to show healthbars
- exploding banelings while burrowed without having to unburrow
- shift V on hotkeyed queens and spam clicking minimap to inject larvae
- shift c resource gathering queuing (though arguably can mess up your build if you get carried away)
- 10 OL with hatch trick is slightly greater than 9 OL without hatch trick (tested multiple times)
- spawning location of Z slightly affects econ/rush (12oclock being the worst since larvae are farthest from mineral patch) though it's best for ling rushes.
- sending workers to gas before it's done will still get them to mine once it's done
- fungal growth on cloaked units
- tab for cycling units / buildings that are all on one hotkey
- hotkeying tech labs

nice thread.

Lol facepalm. I used to think i was clever when i would hold shift and spam the F1 button.

it's good for getting a group of stalkers up a ledge so they don't get stuck after the blink and prevent the rest of the stalkers from getting up the ledge. hdstarcraft has a video tutorial on his youtube channel.

Don't make units to defend until you have to. Probably the single most effective piece of advice I've learned. And tips on using Overlords (sac'ing, positioning, etc)

also, Helions kill larva in just a few shots as well
