298. You can repair or heal hallucinated units. Transfuse and medivacs work on biological hallucinations and repair works on mechanical. Also, hallucinated immortals with scv repair can tank a lot of damage because of hardened shields.

299: Medivacs cannot heal while dropping units. Catching medivacs mid drop makes it much easier to clean up the bio units, since they do not have the benefits of healing.

If the medivacs are stationary and you press 'd' and click on your medivac (as opposed to the ground) it circumvents this, allowing medivacs to heal while dropping.

301: (T) When reinforcing units, wait for enough resources to queue all your units at the same time. This way they will rush to the battle in clumps instead of a stream, making it harder to pick off the reinforcements. For example, when doing a 5 rax rush, wait for 250 minerals and then build/queue all 5 marines at the same time.*,**

* The same principle applies for Z and P (though maybe not as much) when reinforcing.
** Sometimes it may be more important to have 1 or 2 marines that much sooner, rather than having them clumped. In that case queue them as fast as you can.

[T] If you drop from a Medivac by pressing the button for "Unload" and click on it, it heals while dropping. (!!)

If you have good macro, your micro won't really matter a whole hell of a lot.. If you are crushing Platinum players as a Silver player in macro, you would be in gold

302 (x) on transferring workers to gas, select 3, right click the refinery/extractor/assimilator and then hit the c button. The workers with minerals will return them to base and proceed to the geyser, while those without minerals will head directly to the geyser.

Edited number.

303: (P) When scouting the Terran player, a bunker at his main ramp usually indicates heavy tech builds (stargate, banshees)
304: (P) When using DTs against a terran wall, send one at a time to slowly break down his wall, forcing multiple scans.
305: (P) If the opponent's ramp is open and you are trying to get DTs in their base, move command to the mineral line, and shift-a click. Your unit will walk into the mineral line before attacking.
306: (X) If you expect your opponent is going for harras units (DTs, Banshees), hotkey your workers. Once you hear "Your (worker) is under attack", quickly press the number you hotkeyed your workers to and click away.
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.

308 - Against units with a high attack rate (marines, zerlings...) research armor upgrade first. Against Units with high damage but slow attack rate (Tanks, Koloss) research attack upgrade first.

Would they? I was under the impression that scvs would only heal the Hp of units, they can Repair Protoss shields?
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

309 - When speading creep closer and closer to an opponent, it can be useful to send a scout slightly ahead of your creep tumors before they spawn the next round. They are very easy to kill, and if an opponent manages to kill all of them (which is VERY possible if they find them while they're building), you'll have to spend more time and queen energy remaking all them.
A person willing to die for a cause is a hero. A person willing to kill for a cause is a madman

310. Scouting workers with minerals in their mouths can run through enemy units if you press C (return minerals) for a quick escape if you are surrounded

86. When casting [any repeatable ability - forcefield, snipe, infested terran, etc.] for example forcefields, don't f click f click f click. Instead, hold down f and place as many as you like.


When casting forcefields I actually recommend you don't do that if you are higher than maybe silver, because there is is a slight delay before the effect of holding down f kicks in and if you don't klick incredibly slow you won't cast the second and most likely third forcefield.
