The fact that you dont need to unburrow banelings to blow them up. It did blow my mind. I always thought I had to unborrow and then attack move. I feel so sneaky when i have 10 burrowed banelings in a control group and I get to bait the bioball into it with some lings or whatever.. wait until they're above the banelings and then just press X. It's the greatest feeling ever.

Not me, but a lot of people (Including pros!) just recently learned that units dont share the same Warp gate cooldown.

Shift-queueing both patrol and move commands. It means that my scouting is a lot easier to do nowadays, because I don't have to waste half my time telling my SCV to move anymore.

Took me a while to get used to it though, even though I played BW to a worse-than-village standard back before beta.

My zerg 14 gas 13 pool build order had a flaw in that I always kept three drones at gas so that i always had like 300 gas in the bank when toss came and killed me with 7 zealots. Once i started taking two drones of gas i found myself with just enough gas to get lair in a timely fashion but with lots of minerals for droning and expanding.

Those two drones made a surprisingly big impact on my early game.

What I've learned:
Select a unit and right click on another of your own unit to make it follow that unit.

Background
I used to hotkey units with same speed on same hotkey so that i can micro and make for example zealots go in front of stalkers. If i had them in same control group stalkers would get faster to the target and zealots slacking behind.

Now i just make stalkers follow zealots and just move my zealots which gives better army positioning.

You can even A-move only the zealots and the stalkers will also A-move by just the "follow trick".

Appending unfinished warping units to my main army control group. Toss macro so easy ^_^.
I'm very good at making carriers.

If your worker is stuck (getting attacked from another worker early game) and you cannot get away. Click on the nearest mineral patch and the worker will simply go threw the attacking worker and live.

Obv does not work for zealots etc, since they cannot mine so they dont "phase out" when they try to go to mine minerals.

Yes this works 110% of the time.

Taking drones off gas has helped blocking 4 warpgate for me as well as transition into mass ling-dimaga style.

Amazing stuff.

Also pretty much using infestors in every matchup.

Less production buildings and more consistant production will actually leave you with more units and a faster expansion >< who would have thought...

not too sure if it improved it at ton, but i found out a few days ago that as playing random, you can find out which race you're going to get into the game during the loading screen by looking at your mouse cursor, it changes depending on what race you are and it's always 100% correct :D


There's a cursor during the loading screen? I've never gotten that and I always complained how Blizzard needs to implement it.

The unit selection cap is unlimited, not just 24 units. Took me a while to figure out that you could tab through if you had more than 24 selected. I watched a replay of some z controlling like a 100 lings at once and was like whattttt.

as Zerg i just learned that once you have 1 lair but 2 hatches you can get Overlord speed on one and Overlord drop on the other. I always thought i could only research them at the Lair. =/

whoa really? I don't play z much but that is crazy.
