I know that when i have one medivac selected, I can just move command it and individually click the units inside to make them drop out. But how do i do this when I have two medivacs selected? Currently I just press 'd' and left click where i want to unload, the medivacs fly there, stop, then unload everything, but i see pros unload while moving and scatter all the units over the foe's mineral line. How do I drop units from moving medivacs!!?!?!? You press UNLOAD, and click on the medivac itself. This will cause the medivac to unload its cargo without canceling any other orders it may be executing, i.e. if it's in the process of executing a MOVE or SCAN MOVE command, it will unload while moving toward its target destination. | ||

I love doing marine marauder drops in TVT and TVP but I have tanks, thors, BFH, ghosts (late game) and I think I've lost quite a few games from being too passive. Would nukes be a good idea? or Thor drops? Hellions don't do great against buildings.. One highly underrated form of harassment is nukes, especially in the late game. If Zerg is on 3-4+ bases and you launch a nuke, Zerg immediately has to check each and every one for the little red dot. Also, compared to doing an 8 marine drop, which you could very easily lose, nukes are dirt cheap. An 8 marine drop costs 500/100, and you are very likely to lose it to mutas or infestors. Nukes cost only 100/100, and as mentioned above, can be very disruptive to a Zerg who has a lot of bases. And the great thing is that you don't even have to target any of Zerg's bases for it to be disruptive. Simply making Zerg hear "Nuclear Launch Detected" without targeting anything of his is already disruptive, perhaps even more so since Zerg will never actually find the little red dot and will probably end up double checking all of his bases. | ||

Which raises the question in my mind: If a Terran cancels a nuke that's been called in before it lands, the nuke is lost, right? | ||

Yeah that would pretty much screw up everything >.< It would make his opponent spend forever searching his base lol | ||

Its important to know the timing and feel of it for defending it, and its something you can bust out in a tournament. I four gate on tal'darim so I don't have an answer for you there. | ||

I've been using geiko's 3 gate defense against P, and I've never learned how to 4-gate. I've mostly been successful on Tal'Darim till now, but my opponents are getting harder.... I'm wondering if I should learn a PvP 4-gate just for Tal'Darim. thanks! I also just 4gate all-in as fast as possible, because there's no ramp outside of my main. Any time I've lost, I usually attribute it to my own fault (mis-microing or getting psi-blocked or losing to the same build that was just executed slightly better). And even if you don't want to only 4gate on that map, knowing how to 4gate is something you should learn (just in case you come across an opponent who is being super greedy, and you want to punish them with a 4gate). I feel uncomfortable saying "You should never ever 4gate". | ||

At the moment I find it's faster to close the sc2 client before loading a new replay, rather than manually sorting them into the proper folders. Surely there's a way of just clicking on a replay while the client is running, and having it just... open? | ||

There's probably a canon explanation somewhere though. On another simple question, at about what timing would a Protoss player be pushing out a DT if they went for fast DTs? | ||

It seems that there are three different places I could build my first few structures: inside my base (sim city), at the choke of my main, and at the choke of my natural. What would be the ideal placement when I don't know what race my opponent is? My biggest concerns are obviously being safe from fast Zerg attacks, yet at the same time having my structures in places where they can't get sniped from stalkers or colossi. Thanks in advance  | ||

If (as a Terran) I want to hit a 2-Hatch Muta Zerg between when the Spire starts and when first round of mutas pop, what timing am I looking at (generally)? | ||
