(Notice you're only using your left hand while doing this) Amazing! As a player with a semi-crippled right hand and a perfectly fine left hand, I find this the -most- interesting and helpful tip. Wow. | ||

When you break down destructible rocks, for example on Xel'naga, attack move your units to the ground directly in front of the rocks, then shift+queue attack them to the rocks, then shift+queue them back to wherever you want them positioned. This is better than attacking the rocks directly, especially if coming from a distance, because the units will attack anything along their path to the rocks, while otherwise, they wouldn't. Pretty sure that's just painfully obvious, sorry. | ||

466: (Z) Rebind the base camera hotkey (from backspace) to something easier to click and have all your queens on a single hotkey, so when you inject larva you can very quickly toggle all of your bases. (I have my base camera hotkey on W and my inject hotkey on Y so when I inject I simple press W, 5, Y, click, W, Y, click...) 467: (Z) When scouting the opponents base with overlords bring 3-5 overlords and fly it for there mineral line. 90% of the time they will pull workers thinking banelings are coming. 468: (Z) Building extra queens to spread creep, transfuse, and live against harass/attacks is always a good decision. 469: (ZvZ) When fighting banelings with zerglings, have groups of 2 zerglings hotkeyed on control groups you are not currently using, so if you want to quickly send 2 zerglings to a baneling that is coming you just need to move your army away then select each control group and sent it to a baneling. I find this much faster than using the shift deselect method and more precise then trying to box two in battle. | ||

We all know about burrowing banelings at likely opponent expansion sites so you can kill workers, but what about defensively ? Tip (ZvT) To defend against drop harass (mainly ZvT, but also Zealots), burrow some banelings at strategic locations around your own mineral lines to explode marine drops and force future scans before subsequent drop play. | ||

470 : after spellcasting with a weak unit (infestor ?), shift-move to the back to get the spellcaster safe 471: you can shift-make archon (e.g. after a move). and this is not general to all units, for example you can't shift-make a baneling (it morph instantly) | ||

The advantage of a high yield base is that you use less workers to mine a bit more minerals than a normal base. Unless you're Terran, then it's a HUGE advantage. | ||

Its very hard to notice but you will see a slight dark streak where the units are. If a unit burrows around you, watch for the streaks to see where they are moving. (Much easier on lighter ground maps like tan or white maps) This is a nice tip for players. Especially good if you have infestors as they can fungal the burrowed units preventing then from moving or unburrowing and makes then visible for your army to kill. The only player i know that actively looks for the dark patches of burrowed units is ROOTDestiny, can't remember who it was against but he basically won a game because of it | ||

Zerg can go way over 200 supply. When at 200/200 build a bunch of hatcheries, morph 10 roaches or so and cancel the hatches => profit? | ||

Hotkey all the drones wich u morph in spines so u can spam esc to cancel them. | ||

You're right, but on the other hand spines make too fast, but yeah a nice building for the purpose can be found. | ||
