Question.

Do units gain energy while in transport unit? Like infesters/queens in Overlords or Nydus worms? or for other races as well?
I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life. We are not sent into the world to air our moral prejudices.

Do all energy units regenerate energy at the same rate? (including Orbitals and Nexuses)

Most units have an energy regeneration of 0.5625 energy per game second except for the Point Defense Drone which regenerates 1 energy per game second. (From Liquipedia)

Yes, the only exception according to liquipedia is the point defense drone which regenerates 1 energy per game second compared to 0.56 energy per second for everything else.

Edit: too slow

Zerg Buildings: Your scout catches sight of a zerg structure being built, but dies before you can click on it. Is there any way of knowing what's going down (other than logical building-placement related guesses like it's probably a spine at the front ramp and not a spire)?

AFAIK there is no way to tell anything specific about the building's identity based on the size of its footprint.

@saaaa

Bind all your ghosts on one single hotkey and keep them in front of your army (TvP).
Emp hotkey->click

-----------------

Q: Let's assume I have my army on an hotkey. I want to send one marine of my army to the XelNagaTower, and I want to "Unbind\dehotkey" it from my main army. How do I do that? I've seen people on streams clicking on the marine (Not the icon of it, but the actual marine) and unbinding it. It would be helpful for medivacs too.

Shift-clicking either marine itself or its portrait in the selection will remove it from the selection. From there, you just overwrite the current group (default ctrl-#) with the current selection which will be everything but that marine.

You will most likely be promoted when the new season begins or shortly after that. That is, if you keep beating gold/platinum players until then.

Most progamers prefer building a worker first. But as you said it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Once you get fast enough, you can do it no problem.
It makes a difference, but only a small one, like 5 minerals or so early game. If you're fast enough to do it, its gonna make a difference, if you're not fast enough, don't worry about it. Just make sure your split is good.

I believe there was some analysis done on this issue a long while back - doubt I could find the actual thread anymore. IIRC, building a worker first is slightly better (like one extra trip from a single probe 3 minutes into the game). I would expect different races/build orders to have different optimal policies.

My thoughts are that if you have to halt worker production somewhere early (like a 10gate) then maybe sending workers out first will give you a slight advantage since you are only delaying the first few probes from coming out by about a second.

If you are zerg, maybe sending drones first is better too since you don't lose any production time and will only delay the first drone from popping rather than subsequent ones as well.

What's the best way to counter an early double 3rax MM push in TTvTT? We've placed two bunkers next to each other but they could attack each one isolated and it took way to long to pull repair SCVs so we basically have to go for 2rax as well or build at least 3 bunkers?
Whats the best transition? Cloak banshee or dropplay doesn't look superawesome because they can easy defend it with a very mobile army, does that mean we should both tech to mech or at least bio/tank?

Why are gaming keyboards/mouses/headsets better for playing SC2 than regular ones that come with the computer itself?
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.
