Please redirect me if wrong thread but i had a few questions about gateways.

1. If a warpgate gets killed while warping in a unit does the unit die/get canceled?
2. Does the same happen as in the question above if you unpower/contaminate the gateway.

Thanks in advance.

Control + click the mutas or control + shift click the larva.

1. The unit does not get canceled.
2. The unit does not get canceled. Don't know about contaminate though. Probably not.

@Sporadic44 Thanks, what you're saying makes sense but since i'm bronze...scouting something early in the game i think is not that effective as you can expect the weirdest stuff coming at you.
What i was hoping to get with my question is probably a "safe" opener and at that point i would ha more accurate info on the game and be able to diverge and counter the opponent more efficiently, whilst practicing a consolidated build (eg fast sling or roach).
Does that makes sense?

Thanks

Yes I understand. I learned how to play doing the same build every MU, every game.
14gas/14pool
15 overlord
15 drone
[Pool Finishes]
16 queen
3 sets of lings=6 lings total
from there i'd scout with the lings while making some drones.
If I felt my opponent wasnt attacking right away id expand. If I felt an attack coming i'd go roaches quick.

This opener is relatively safe and should get you into the mid-game in a reasonable spot most of the time.

In terms of composition, one that's considered relatively standard and save is Marine/Tank with vikings and medivacs. Tanks are an important unit for their splash damage, range, and defensive abilities, and marines are how you spend your excess minerals. You get medivacs to support your marines and to do drops, and vikings to fight your opponent's air forces and to give vision for your Tanks' long range attacks.

This composition changes slightly if your opponent is going for a hellion-heavy "full mech" build. In that instance, you want to make Marauders instead of marines when possible, and use them to drop your opponent, and also to fight against hellion drops.

In terms of openings, a 1 gas opening where you get a rax, a factory, and a quick expo is considered pretty safe (since this will let you get a quick starport if he's rushing banshee, and will let you make marines, tanks etc as necessary) while being economical. Some players prefer to get a starport first and a later expansion to try to deal some economic damage (at the cost of a weaker economy), and some players like to expand with just a barracks to get an economic lead, relying on scouting, bunkers, and good marine micro to stay alive until they catch up in tech and units-- it's a matter of taste.

That feels a good starting point, going to try it, thanks for the advice.

In PvZ, when I scout gas before pool, what does this mean?

I know it means quick ling speed, but does it indicate 1 base roach play as well?

Yes. No clear reason, but has no impact, nevertheless.

There is a reason, lolz. Because protoss ground attack will benefit workers, whereas zerg ranged/melee difference leaves zerg at a disadvantage.

Hence it's more balanced to leave out attack upgrade for all units.
Best or nothing.

You can't deduce anything that far ahead from simply gas-pool.

Gas before pool generally means ling speed. he could do whatever he wants after he kills your probe.

Gas before pool is not great for 1 base roach rushes, you want pool then gas for better effeceincy.

No. Speedling expand is fairly common against Protoss, often starts 14g/14p, and gets roaches only after expanding (if at all).

Quick ling speed is a pretty safe assumption, but I don't think you can draw any other conclusions without scouting more.

Is there a quick way to estimate the number of workers you have without trying to count?
