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

I really never knew about #38. I usually never ever talk in game. Maybe I'll start now.

315 - (TvT) when using ghosts, if they have no ravens, use EMP on their orbital command centers so that they cant scan your ghosts and you can nuke as you like.

184. (T) You can drop cloaked ghosts in a terran mineral line and EMP the Orbital Command - thus preventing it from scanning.

There are already some tips about shift-queuing, but none relate to this specifically.

369. (P) You can ensure that a group of stalkers will all blink across a gap by issuing a move order to the edge, shift-queue blink to the other side, and then optionally shift-queue another move order.

Tip: Micro

Sentries Damage happens before animation.
Stalker Attack only damages when animation hits, so blink before other stalkers hit yours (PvP)

This update was mostly to remove the gaps, and I added my own tips since I *HOPE* I could make sure they were not duplicates, and I also wanted them to not "stick out" too much, but fit in with surrounding tips.

If you wanna see the updates, search the main post for [Arn.

Updating up til 369 or so will be done later. By the way, 369 is a duplicate (see #44, could add "gap" to the wording there though), so I bet next tips should be 369.

316; If you hold down E and right click you can emp much faster on different spots then if you pressed E for every new EMP, this also works for some other spells

re: snowroller1 #316(should be 370ish?)

This is a great micro-trick. It is also very effective for burrowing damaged roaches provided you set burrow/unburrow to different hotkeys - just hold in burrow button and click the roaches as they get low on HP.

A couple of suggestions...
Assuming you didn't leave it vague to encourage people to see the video ( :p ), #47 needs a little clarification (lings 'behind', insert blings 'from the front' or something like that).
#252 should indicate that it's talking about if you're using creep for denying an opponent's expansion.

369: SCV's inside of a medivac with auto-repair turned on will repair damaged vehicles that are also loaded into the medivac. This applies to other scv's, hellions, siege tanks, and landed vikings (not sure why'd you'd load those though).

Hope this isnt a repeat
317: You can contaminate static D and it cant attack ground but can still attack air. Contaminating a missle turret contaminates but does nothing as it couldnt hit ground anyway.

Eh? That is completely wrong, contaminate on static defenses has no effect.

What? Strike Cannon kills colossus without the EMP.
