No unfortunately.. This would actually be sooo useful IMO.


The only way you could do that is if you're warping in using a warp prism. Turning it to transport mode will cancel the warp-in.

This may be silly however:

I played against roach infestor for the first time as Terran yesterday and kept on wondering if I should be adding a lot of marauders into my army. I was plying Marine Tank Medivac. I always get concerned adding marauders as a lige switch kinda owns them.

It was generic 2 base roach into 3 base roach infestor. Im a high dia T.

I find it best to throw 3-4 in your army. And separately run them in if you see an out of position infestor or three. Try not to have more than that as you said, lings become trouble, as well as mutas. Banshees, good tank positioning, and ghosts always do well too.

I have to admit I've never used a mac so I'm not sure if I'm missing something really obvious about the system, but just to be sure you're not having a more simple issue, are you aware the location hotkeys are F5 to F8 not F1 to F5 with control being used to create the group?

As I say if I'm missing something obvious that I'd know if I had a mac I'm sorry, it's just that based on your post you may be trying with the wrong keys.

Depends on the patch. If it's the close patch, no. If its the farther patch, 3 will give you more.

Thanks , that makes sense. Another simple question , is it possible to patrol a unit while keeping it aggressive?

For instance, can I have a probe on patrol automatically attack a drone cruising by? or maybe more practical purpose , a patrolling viking picking off a drop ship for me ?

Units that automatically attack other units when they are standing still (IE, all combat units) will also automatically engage with enemies that come close to them while they're patrolling. So patrolling your Vikings to stop a drop ship will work. Units that don't, though, like workers, will not.

Send your control group of lings to the tower, then shift-click 1 ling and rebind the control group.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this problem I am having.

I want a button on my mouse to function as the control key, so when I click the mouse and then a unit, it selects all like units. Also, when I click that mouse button and then a number, I want it to create a control group.

To set it to make a control group, I figured I would just go into the options and set it to mouse button + #, but I dont know how to tell it that I want to bind it to two keys. It will either just set it as the mouse button or the number. Any one have experience with this?

I have no idea how I could set the mouse button + click to select all like units, so some hints would be helpful.

SC2 only supports binding shift, alt and control as keys that you hold down while pressing another key. If you want to have a mouse key work like the control key, you need to use your mouse software to rebind the button to the control key and then just have the control key bound inside of SC2 as normal.

I'm stupid and you're a genius. Thanks, I'll just see if I can rebind using the razer software.

Did a high-level pro recently start doing 1 rax bunker pressure in TvZ? It seems like every other ZvT is a bunker rush followed by a quick expansion now. 3 weeks ago I'd never get bunker rushed, and suddenly, everybody is doing it.

I haven't moved significantly in MMR.

When should I cut probe vs a 1-1-1? Usually I open 1 gate FE vs Terran.

You can snipe your own pylon, which resets the warpin cooldown and gives you your money back. I have successfully done this, exactly once lol but it can potentially save your ass.

I don't recall any spectacular bunker pressure recently (although there was the MVP vs Lucky game recently). The ladder meta will shift randomly.
