As a secondary benefit zerglings and Hydra can also be roasted by Oracles.

I think its a unit that should see more time in battle with the army then as a sole harrassment unit.


What do you plan on doing if a couple of hydras are near the swarm hosts? Or spore crawlers?
Send in 2-3 oracles and you'll insta-lose 2-3 oracles worth of gas that's taken out of your Sky army/collo count/Storm count.

I know one of the best tips in the game is to never get supply blocked.

However, what is the best course of action when you do get supply blocked?
Lets say i'm protoss: Should I immediately spam a few pylons? or should I build one just to get me out of that initial block and then continue playing as normal?

Are there any other things to keep in mind once you get into that situation?

It's the combined level of your zerg, protoss and terran levels from the level system that was introduced with HotS.

It has no real value.

yes it matter a lot, but 1vs1 spine win.
btw 3-3 zealots eat spines i think 2 or 3 should be able to kill 2 spines

I wanna know if someone can link me a build order, vod or replay of the 2 immortal 2 colossus all in vs Z.

thank you

Is there a way to deliberately change which planets are displayed in menu (if options 'planets' is instead of 'kerrigan').

Liquipedia has you covered.

(Wiki)Resources

  • One SCV on one mineral patch harvests 39-45 minerals per game minute, depending on distance.
  • Two SCVs on one mineral patch harvest 78-90 minerals per game minute, depending on distance.
  • Three SCVs on one mineral patch harvest ~102 minerals per game minute. This is fully saturated and does not depend on distance.
  • For rich mineral fields, simply multiply these numbers by 1.4 (7/5).


So the third worker is about 25% as effective as each of the first two.

Yes it is, especially on the ones furthest away. The workers pay for themselves very quickly, and you saturate faster when you build another expo.

I am not sure on the spawn locaton of the current maps so that is why i ask.

Star station (only cross)
Whirlwind LE (all possible)
Zerus Prime TE (no vertical spawn)

Does the language filter in search actually do anything? I mean, it -says- english, but for the amount of times I've had either only spanish/mandarin speakers talk to each other (and, half the time, scream at me for being n00b) I tend to get very frustrated because I can't communicate back at all.

I'd happily wait an extra two minutes for games if it meant I got to play with people who would at least make fun of me in my own language.


...Uh. Somehow I posted in the Starcraft simple questions. My bad!

Sorry if asked before but its a difficult thing to search. How does widow mine splash work? Im thinking about the Stephano Forgg mines. Does flash apply equally to ground and air. If a medivac is directly above a struck ling does it receive splash or does the mine have to detonate on air units?
