My first post here..lurking for a couple weeks since release. Wasn't sure if this was the right place to post, but it is about SC2. Well I've been watching numerous replays of pros and I continue to see how they are able to select all of their workers at once, I have looked around and seen that CTRL+F1 does this, but this does not work for me. If someone could enlighten me on how this is done, it would be much appreciated.

engineering bays should lift off

supply depots should have a timer to lift up/down much like a spine crawler

warpgates should not make gateways completely obsolete (i think a serious change should be made here but that is a longer and more complex issue)

reapers should require engineering bay and be given a research of manually casted grenades

lost temple should be edited so that a thor cannot hit a hatch/cc/nexus from the natural cliff

sensor towers should show the position of cloaked units

bunker salvaging is too strong

raven hunter seeker missile is overshadowed by the pdd


I think those were pretty good suggestions!


why thank you

Could you word this better please? I think the answer to this : doubleclick/ctrl+click an scv, and it will select all the scvs that are currently on the screen.

In ZvP, when I play 2 Hatch Hydra and the Protoss doesn't pressure me too much, I build two evo chambers really early and upgrade grooved spines and 2/2 or even 3/3 ASAP to get "Superhydras" which I are somehow really effective against almost all Protoss units for me. Call it "Fast Superhydras"

I won most games with this tactic but then again, I'm a more casual player and good macro and polished play is way more important on my level than tactics. Is this a good gameplan in general?

is gamespeed slower now because while watching day9 daily 126 i noticed his pylons were making in ~18 seconds whereas my pylons were taking ~28 seconds and I'm playing on faster.

He uses the qxc build order tester and I'm using the newer version of it

well if u are talking about getting 3/3 upgrades just for hydras basically means u have like infinity time and good players wont give u that time...

IMO (Diamond ~800 points zerg) hydras are basically crap in its current state...u need them to stay alive (early defence against banshees,vrays,phoenix,4gate push,...) but everything beyond that they are useless imo...tanks/storm/collosi just rape them to badly

so Hydras are an important unit for any zerg but to rely only on them is a bit dangerous but like u said that doesnt matter in lowerlevels that much

In the baneling topics people are talking about "right click unburrow"

Am I to take this to mean that if you burrow banelings and then right-click the unburrow button they will automatically unburrow and explode if things walk over or walk near them?

What is the equation between the time in game and real world time? The Blizzard website says that probes are made in 17 seconds, but it sure doesn't feel that way.

Also, how many probes per mineral patch? And what is the typical point you expand - once your mineral patch is depleted/saturated with probes or at some pre-set supply?

Hi, since it seems okay to ask dumb questions here...
In which game types are the various combat achievements attainable? The first two categories say "melee game", the last category says "league game". So what exactly qualifies a game to be a melee game? (I think league is obvious enough, any game that you enter by pressing "Find Match" will qualify)
When you're feeling down, I'll be there to feel you up!

expansion timing is completely dependent on the game
dont box yourself in with game times or supply times
also some patches take 3 and some only take 2, so full saturation is around 2.5 per patch, but you still want extras to maynard/replace lost ones

If a nydus worm (the main building) is filled with a zerg army and is killed, does the army die?

only if there are no other worms?

I was cleaning up my desktop and forgot about this picture in game I did when I was stuck in silver league. But mind you this was against a diamond player. Lost the game cause I screwed it up so much and wasted too much time but was worth it !

So can anyone help me? Does anyone know of a non-Ling/Baneling build in ZvZ. I don't want Cheese/All-in either, I want something standard...but not Ling/Baneling.

I am really just getting bored of this matchup and sometimes it comes down to pure luck. I'm not even doing bad. I straight up crush anyone who doesn't Ling/Baneling, but against anyone who mirrors me, it comes down to lucky Baneling explosions.

plz help bring F keys back: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/169348947#new-post

Now I DEFINITELY agree with this. Not having played the campaign, I might be ignorant of this, but do you really need F2-F7 for heroes? Hell, Do you even need any F keys for heroes? Who the hell plays maps with heroes in them, and even knows about the hero hotkeys, much less uses them.


thing is, if they want to keep those for heroes, just free them up for multiplayer. ez game : ) I hope all TL members who own SC2 post their support for this as there really are zero negative effects of having this happen.


Well you don't really need the F keys in SC2. With multiple building selection you can macro without have to go to your buildings. And you can go to a fight by double tapping your army or to your base by double tapping your building key. Why would one specifically need F keys in SC2?
