I move a hydra inside a Sentry's bubble, and attack it, does the sentry still take reduced damage? | ||

Is it a waste to use chronoboost on a building that is already chronoboosted? Or does the chronoboost just get added to the end of the first chornoboost? | ||

Or does the chronoboost just get added to the end of the first chornoboost? Chronoboost does not stack, so the speed will be the same. The timer resets to 20 seconds, it does not get added on. So for example if you chronoboost a building with 5 seconds of chronoboost left, the timer becomes 20 not 25 seconds. | ||

(click then press cntrl?) This is just waypoints. Most RTS games have this implemented in some form or another. In SC2 simply hold shift when giving move commands and the unit will follow them in order. | ||

Against mass muta, I've tried mass blink stalker (which didn't work out so well), but against mass void-ray, do I just have to get more phoenixes or just macro/mirco better? Blink stalkers are more geared towards going against broodlords. Against mutas you really need the guardian shields from your sentries to negate that bounce damage that tears through your units when the mutas get in large numbers. Another method a friend of mine uses is high templars. It softens up the mutas really quickly and if he isnt careful he can lose A LOT of them. If he reacts and moves the mutas away... well then no more harass! Going for pheonix is a tricky one, firstly they take quite a bit of micro. Secondly, when we're talking about large numbers >10 ( not sure what the exact number is ) the mutas beat the pheonixes due to their bounce damage. 1v1 pheonixes win hands down. The best way to counter mass muta however, really is just to constantly apply pressure on the zerg. PvZ, zergs should never ever be allowed to breathe and to macro. Unless you're a way better player in terms of mechanics ( Plat and above macro versus bronze macro ) then there's no way you can win without applying pressure. | ||

This is especially true when you have got 2 different spellcasters in your army and you want a specific one at the front. Apart from selecting them individually with shift etc, which takes previous time. 2. Is there any way of maintaining a current hotkey'd army ? Or do you have to manually add each wave of units you produce / spawn / warp in ? | ||

Apart from selecting them individually with shift etc, which takes previous time. Would like to know this as well. I wish there was a way to fast separate your units besides boxing. I mean let's say I have lings all one hotkey with several pages. I wish I could separate page 2 from 1. Is that possible? Does it work with ctrl? I'll have to go try it. | ||

If a terran gets mass tanks+thors sieged up in an area (10+), am I supposed to match it with an equal amount of immortals, or is there a more efficient unit. Of course, I know I'd probably done something wrong to get to this point, and attacking directly is often suicidal, but sometimes it's just necessary. | ||

Go around or use warp prisms to take advantage of their poor maneuverability. | ||

Immortals counter mech only until a certain point... when there are too many tanks the only answer is carrier. | ||
