Has anyone got a good video that represents what starcraft is about to a new player but isn't to lenghty?
I find that you either find a) glorified trailers, like the ones blizzard makes, that don't represent the game at all. Or b) a proper representation but the video takes over 30 minutes.

I need this becuase my girlfriends brother asked me about sc and I couldn't quite explain the diffrences between SC2 mechanics and other rts without going into technical terms.

@helio thx. Smoosh sent me a long pm explaining it :D

Question: what's the best way to kite roaches with marines and marauders? Any tips? I'm not sure if I should kite, especially on creep, because the marines in the back end up not firing. So it's a trade off between allowing the roaches to close the distance and having all your marines firing at once... Is it realistically possible to kite back in 2 or 3 groups?

When the protoss doesn't fast expand, get gas immediately.

Just to tailend this a bit, you want to also check the protoss gas timings. One gas for him is enough for a +1 delayed 4 gate at eight minutes. Two gases, I believe, could be sentries and immortals (actually 3 gases) or DTs. But yes, getting 1 gas gets ou lings speed and also enough roaches to shut down pressure.

I just picked up Hots after a whole year's pause from WoL and I know absolutely nothing. I have challenged myself to get on the level to beat a master friend in two weeks (I tend to joke he doesn't deserve the title but this is irrelevent). As I try to punish his love of being the agressor with some cute allins I need to know some timings which I couldn't find (yet).

What is the timing of a mothership core on a forge fast expand? On a gateway expand?
What is the earliest a protoss can get +1 attack on a forge fast expand? On a gateway expand?
Has 14/14 baneling bust actually been viable in any way, shape or form since the beginning of Hots, or am I just a misguided fool in an absurd quest? (facultative, as it's not a simple question)

Thank you for your answers! =)

Is there a way to set the function of ctrl to alt?

I can use alt + 1 to set a hotkey.

But I want to use alt to select unit types and interact with shift like ctrl does, can this be done?

This might've already been asked, but I'm not searching 800 pages.

How do you make an scv stop building a structure? Not cancel, but just stop building.

just select the scv and choose halt the scv will stop building

Banes are almost never cost effective vs protoss. You might catch some players offguard if they are gateway expanding vs 14/14, but I'm pretty sure a good protoss will realize you didn't expand and then do a safe 3 gate sentry expand.

Hey. I don´t know what happened but i can only play the starter edition. When i go to options to change it i only have the starter level. No hots. Can anyone tell me what should i do. Completely lost.
It seems my account was locked. Hopefully no harm has been done.

Hey again. Does anyone know when you should be able to sign in to battlenet after you have recovered your account? I cant even sign in with my new password. Thanks.

Having serious issues with mass void or muta or basically mass anything
Last game, my oponent went muta ling, my composition was roaches, hydra heavy and a good quantity of corruptors.
Shouldn't corruptor and hydra destroy air units?

Apologies if this has been answered...

When going 1gate FE in PvZ, why do pros build the gateway close to the Nexus rather than at the main's ramp?

Thanks, cheers.

Why do some pro terrans rally all their production buildings to a random supply depot outside their nat or their third?
I've seen a few players doing this now and thought it was funny
