Hey guys, we recently started a Youtube show called SC2 Mythbusters. It's a lot like the show - we put user-submitted myths relating to Starcraft to the test. The myths range from common things like "the kills on high templars are added when warped into archons" to crazy things like "a viking's portrait changes when it transforms." Feel free to send in anything you are wondering about the Starcraft universe; we'll put it to the test!

We put up new episodes every Friday, so be sure to either tune in then or subscribe to be notified for all new videos! Check out our channel at http://www.youtube.com/SC2Mythbusters

Email us myths at SC2mythbusters@gmail.com

Thanks for the submissions!

Mythbusters is awesome because they have the equipment and funding to test things that normal people can't. I don't see how this compares at all.

I disagree, the video teaches me a lot of interesting things I didn't know or think of in Starcraft 2 lol.

Party pooper

These guys are trying something different. Think of the time they take to do it. Sure you can test it yourself or you can share the fun.

Theres always one person who has to ruin the party.... today you are that person.

Mythbusters doesn't need money, most of the myths are common sense, like when they spend thousands disproving the moon hoax theories.... anyone who's studied physics, cosmology, jet propulsion, photography etc could have told you what they did, infact there are a thousand websites setup by people with 0 dollars that do tha same thing.

This show is using the name Mythbusters as a reference, not trying to be the same thing..... god damn some people just don't like to let anyone else have fun, if you don't like it.... don't watch it and don't post just to be an ass.

Edit: the fungal one is funny, dead larvae from one fungal.... didn't realise they had such low health lol.

Yeah, a few of those were actually really cool. I would've never even thought to ask if those things were possible...

Hey guys, thanks for all the support. Especially people like emythrel.

As he so wisely said, the purpose of this is not to do things people are unable to do, but to spread little tidbits of interesting information which most people do not know.

Remember, haters gonna hate.

So let me get this straight - you can contaminate a flying building, but it has no effect since you were able to land and build a reactor with that building? So is this a bug, a special feature of your map tester, or is it supposed to work this way?

Also - does the killed baneling deal the same damage as a normal baneling?

Everything on the map is the same as it is a normal melee (ladder) game on a blizzard map, just the spawn time of everything is set to 0, for faster testing.

Why did that contaminated rax instant build a reactor? I would assume that it couldn't land period, let alone land and build something.

Interesting idea. I definitely learned a few things. It's not so much that I can't test these things myself, but rather am too lazy too Never thought about many of these myths which makes it all the more interesting.
