I was fighting some voidrays with a huge number hydras, i was in a good spot and i shift clicked all his voidrays for the micro.
I went for some macro in my base while the hydras were shift targetting his pack.
When i came back to the battle i realised that one of my orders didn't aim a voidray and all my army went to simple move in the middle of his units...
I went from an easy win to a painfull loss

One time, I had totally won a game with a maxed out Zerg army, 4 bases to his almost mined out main, with a 2/2 upgraded R/H army razing his infrastructure. I typed "gg?", he typed gg, then somehow I hit the keys to leave the game.

wut.

I was so neverous after working my way to plat all the way from silver (pre-diamond) that in my first game I built 2 cyber cores and got rolled by some early pressure. It was pretty embarassing when my opponent was like "o_O 2 cyber cores?" Especially when I had just been talking to him about how I just got into plat.

The worst thing that ever happened to someone else playing against me, though, was PvP. I had made a few bad pushes and lost a good chunk of my army (stalkers/immo) to my opponent's stalker/immo army. He then counter attacked whiel I was grabbing my expo (desert oasis, which has a very open nat) and when I thought he was going to take it out and kill me, he just ran his army right past mine which softened it up enough for me to kill and eventually take the game.

@mangoTango, someone did this to me once. Was trying to figure out why my rank was better after game. He msgd me to say that he did that by reflex. So I got a free win :D

Stupid thing I did was when i was playing on desert oasis and someone had a bunch of roaches, I had a obs hovering over their army in the middle, thought it was set to follow. They burrowed and I didn't notice, they sniped my nexus and I was able to hold on for a while but all down hill from there

One of my first SC2 games and I think the first one as Protoss, I massed Immortals vs BCs :-\

edit: I thought hardened shields would own against them, too!

in my first 4 games i couldnt actually work out how to see banshhes or cloaked units as zerg! So i was getting all mad n stuff sucha noob!

I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the mobile detector was for terran.

For a good 30-40 games i thought the only detectors we had were Scans and Turrets. Had no idea about the Raven. Lol.

- Sending a queen walking crossmap to inject larvae at a far away expansion, due to hotkey miss click.

- Accidentally double-clicking a worker in the mineral line, then giving a move command, thus stopping every worker from mining.

My biggest blunder?

Having a game 100% in the bag PvP on desert oasis. Main and natural of my opponent was destroyed. I had a 200/200 ground army from warp gates and robos. While I searched for hidden expansions, it never occured to me that he could be on one of the island expos. He takes a warp prism and 4 probes, rebuilds in about 5 minutes because he was stockpiling resources. By the time I figured out what he was doing, I got a few void rays out, but he completely kills me with an army of 20+ void rays and a mothership.

I felt like this after the match --> =/

Ugh. Mine was even worse.

I was playing Z for once (I never play Z) on Incineration Zone. I had taken every expansion other than the one behind the rocks in the SW. It was like 6 Base to 2. I had pushed a few times but never really had enough of an army to go past his cannons.

Problem? I never scouted. Once. Always always scout. It's never fun to run into a 200/200 Mass Carriers + Mothership army with Roach/Hydra + Infestors.

Ironically I still almost won the game. I had gotten a NP off on his mothership, however my Infestor died before I could use Vortex on his army. A few more seconds and I might have won.

It was the only time i have ever /ragequit in my 8 years of playing SC, WC, anything. I was so pissed for losing to mass cannons into mass carriers. Nub SC1 Strats. Buh.

Proxied David Kim with two gate and forced him to lift and everything. Basically won the game. Until I forgot to send a Zealot home and he killed my Nexus with all his SCVs.

:[

Also used to think Cyber Core was still 200minerals and Robotics Facility was still 200 gas! But this was like week 1-2 of beta.

I tend to forget if I built my first overlord or not and accidently build 2, a lot. Cancelling the second one always fucks my larvae count up

done this a lot, not in the beginning of the game because I have good controll over the economy then, just when you have like 2 hatch 40-50 food and u make on to many overlords, can really cost you the game..and it has..like delayed potential upgrade/lair ...I wish there was a button kinda like the "idle worker" button so you can see how many ovies you make :d

I dont really want this feature, Im just bad and want blizzard to fix my incompetence.

its what you get for being a douche imo

I thought i had one game won, i had my nice stalker colossus sentry zealot army, however i had all me 20-30~ zealots off to the side for some uber flankage action, except i forgot about them until it was like 3 secs into the battle and as a result they didnt get there in time and my entire army was raped

I was playing a 2v2 as zerg on a map with backdoor destructible rocks. I made a bunch of zerglings and banelings, busted through the backdoor, and destroyed most of the opponent's probes and also his nexus. All this time, I had been making drones. I told my partner, "Make units. They are going to counter." About 30 seconds passed, and all I did was make drones. No spines. No units. They came in and destroyed my partner's army and my base.

I don't know why, but I just felt like I needed more drones.

2v2 Metropolis. Trying to save my ally when the enemies ganged on him. They were up his ramp and was engaging me mid ramp.

My thought: I should FF half his army up-ramp and half army below so I can eat them separately for victory!
My action: blocked them entirely above ramp. They proceeded to obliterating my ally's base while my army sat there.

Me: "I'm the best..."
Opponent: "yah, you really are. Thanks!"

not a blunder so much as a funny story... ZvP on Oasis, managed to do a rather nasty base race, but I only crippled his main, killing off all his probes, I retreated to the SE and NW islands via nydus, and established bases previously which had been mining for a while, a long battle of attrition ensued, and it ended up with me, in the SE (only) with 1000M/1000G/180S. He had about 30 stalkers that were patroling my borders quite irritatingly, I couldn't move out, and I was all but out of resources. But I had an assumption that since he didn't seem to be aggressive he was out of resources and still expanding. I built up 2 brood lords (had like 450 minerals left, something like that) and started sniping the stalkers very VERY carefully. eventually i was able to push to his main after downing his stalkers, and there, I see a pair of probes, pathetically long distance mining from the most distant gold patch... I rofled as I killed his probes and he rage quit out. 2:20 game, but more "WTF" than any I've ever played... much name calling on his part.

pushing vs a zerg army of hydras + roaches + lings with my army of marauders + marines + 3tanks,
i waited for shells and shields to complete.
while waiting i a-clicked my marauders on the map and managed to kill 2 of my 3 tanks.
i lost the battle due to this mistake, since i saw 2 tanks in siege mode (had it researched) would have helped alot, and the game was pre-nerf
i was so angry that i ...... let's say had to buy a new mouse
