#615 In a ZvZ matchup, mid to late game, if you send a queen to heal your units, try placing a creep tumor next to your army on his creep before the attack. This is exellent if he doesn't see you do it. And it can be perfect for scouting unit movement over that area.

An overseer with your opponent's army would render this a quick waste of energy.

Please fix 583th tip

Now you can just change Terrain graphic option to Low in game settings to make creep static

At tip #189, the DT rush time is wrong. It can hit at 5:57 for me. I've heard of someone hitting at 5:55

It wouldn't work above the lowest levels of play anyway. You build really few probes, which means if you don't kill 3/4 of his workers you lose, and it's very hard since you don't get a stalker and he can scout forever.
I think that that tip should be remove or replaced with a timing of a dt expand with initial stalker, which is usually viable.

Been reading quite a few of these, I find many quite useful. But one of them is incorrect unless I'm missing something.

"543. (PvZ) Archons are cost efficient against Broodlings, since they can soak up broodling damage, deal AoE damage etc. [original]"

Since broodlings cost 0-0, I'm pretty sure they're cost-efficient vs everything.

My own contribution:

In a situation where you have a lot of excess orbital command energy, mules can be used as forcefields to limit enemy movement. In TvT, you can call down a mule adjacent to an enemy tank line to cause friendly fire. You can also use a scan to gain vision of their tanks, to destroy tanks for free in an otherwise inaccessible location.

If you as a terran are contained it can often be smart to call down suply and not mules. In the long run its more cost efficient and more of your overall minerals go into units.

When you call down a MULE, a tiny area around its landing zone (usually a mineral patch) will be blocked for movement until briefly after it lands.
If you give an SCV a build or move order that crosses that area right after calling down the MULE, the SCV will give you a warning/error message and will skip to its next task.

This will occur most often when calling down a MULE and then ordering an SCV next to where it will land to build a depot behind the mineral line.
Playing Terran is like flying down a MULE drop in a marine suit, firing a Gauss Rifle

Can't believe I didn't know until today: when mass muling a mineral patch (either because it's late game, you've been saving it up, just forgot about all that orbital energy, etc), you can just hold down "e" after selecting your orbital commands and spam click the mineral patch you're calling down to. I used to, since beta, press "e" then click, press "e" then click, press "e" then click, once for every mule I had the energy for.

It's the same for forcefields, storms, fungle, scans, you can just holddown the keyboardkeys and then click where you want to cast the spell. It's way faster and easier that way

when going mutas, research overlord speed and add an overseer to your muta pack. it will let you stack them to snipe cannons, etc, and kill the observers the protoss puts around his bases to be able to defend your mutas in time.

I really liked #316. 6 sentries to infinitely block a ramp
Considering the ramp needs only 1 ff right?

Yes that is for a 1 ff wide ramp, make the ratio for larger ramps

Started reading through this, my favorite so far is EMP your own cattlebruisers in TvP, that's really creative, even though I'm .

#71 has a typo: "version" should be "vision."

Does it also work for ghost spells, emp and snipe?

But hey, once in a while there are people playing team games. This build/tip could be perfectly viable in a team game. Build order?
