I usually select my units and right click on the medivac. In the heat of the battle, I am always expecting the medivac to come closer and pick up the units, but instead, the units are trying to awkwardly find a path to the medivac, which results in no shooting at enemy units AT ALL while getting killed, and the medivac STILL staying in place  This doesn't happen when the medivac is right on top of my units (I select my units, right click the medivac, and BAM! they're loaded). This only happens when the medivac is not in the loading zone. | ||

I'm really sorry if I'm wrong about this but I'm pretty sure this is how you do it Select all your units AND the medivac, then right click (load command) on the medivac. The units as well as the medivac will prioritize loading up over any other command (attacking / healing) the medivac will fly towards your units and your units will run towards the medivac | ||

In a combat situation, if the drones are on attack-move you'll shoot them-- and if they're just moving or stopped, you again need to micro your units to stop shooting the enemy army and shoot the drones. This is usually done by either right-clicking or hitting a (or t if you're on grid) and left-clicking the drones in succession. Another trick is to put your (melee) units on hold position in the opponents mineral line.. | ||

as a quiet bad player (gold level last season, haven't even been placed now) I want to get the most fun out of this game. I have played both protoss and zerg, and now I would like to have a go with the terrans, then I'll probably decide what race I will be going for forever. I'm a total noob to terran play and I was wondering if the fine liquid folks could help me to find wich terran builds are: economic (I'll learn the cheese later, I prefer a macro style), at least a bit safe and are executable at my level of play. And that in each of the match-ups (1 per MU). Normally I just search builds on the forums myself, but I tried to do the same thing with terran but due to my lack of knowledge I could'nt make out wich were good for me and wich weren't. A bunch of thanks in advance Taxo (English is not my first language, so I apoligise for any and all grammar and spelling mistakes, you can always point them out if you'd like :D ) | ||

Ctrl-click, e.g., one of your raxes in the selection pane to refine your selection to all raxes. Then right-click to set the rally. Hit your control group, ctrl-click another production building, and repeat. | ||

WHO IS THIS MYSTERY MAN!?!??!?! and is he the normal caster for season 2 or do they rotate gretorp's right hand man? anyways, thanks ahead of time for your responses... i most likely wont be replying to give a personal thanks... but I MUST KNOW WHO THIS MYSTERY CASTER IS!!!!!!!! <3 Unfortunately for you they have been having guest casters that rotate every day (i think) so unless you can give us a week and day we can't help you :\ | ||

It's kinda like a 7 roach rush but he expands before pumping out the roaches I think I know what build you're talking about. You open speed, take your hatch, and plant the roach warren when the hatch is 50% complete. I can give you a specific build order but in general if you want a timing to get roaches at the same time the hatch finishes, that's one way. | ||

I cant imagine thats what you mean, because pure ultra's are pretty terrible. Against ultra crackling (which is what i use) you need marine marauder ghost imo | ||

I would say going heavy on tanks with good upgrades, and as said above, ghosts are good because of snipe. Marauders are also key. You can also you use thors and the strike cannons, but that is less common. | ||
