1. I've seen alot of videos where players drop units from medivacs/overlords while they are moving. I know that if you are only dropping from one you can just left click on the units in the medivac, and they will get dropped while the ship is moving..

But u can't do that when u have more then 1 ship selected.. Still alot of pros manages to drop from many ships while they are moving.. How?



2.Another thing, whats the best way to kill a scouting worker with a marine?

Atm Iam using hold unit so he attacks the drone, then moves the marine back and hold unit again and repeats that :p.. but is there any better way?

1. If u click "D" on your medivac it will automatically unload.
2. No clue, I think you are doing it right.

1) Press 'd' and click each dropship
2) Attack move instead of hold position will help you avoid stopping out of range. They're basically the same though. You can use stop move as well, since the hotkeys are more convenient.

1. Just hit "d" and then click on the medivacs and they will all drop while moving.

2. If there's a ramp place 1 marine at the bottom and another on top or if only one marine, attack move aka scoot and shoot.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

an other good thing to know is that when medivacs are healing something the wont go fly and pick up units. The units wil walk to the medivacs and when there are forcefields under them or so other obstruction the unit will walk like idiot untill the medivac is done healing and then pick them up.
but most time your units will die because they wont do a thing

so a good thing is to put the autohealing spell off when you want to pick up your units as quick as possible. this you can do by rightclick heal or alt "your hotkey for heal" so the medivac wont stop to heal some units.
i really hate that blizzard reverse those priorities but with a bit of micro "clicking" no problem
