I've got one. I've read on the strategy forums that PDD negates the broodlings spawned by brood lords. I'm too lazy to test if this is true because I hardly ever see ravens used when I have brood lords. (Most of the time the terran just freaks out and scrambles to build vikings.)
What's that probe doing there? It's a scout. You mean one of those flying planes? No....

The broodlings still spawn and do damage on impact, but they die as soon as they hit a unit. they stay alive vs buildings though, iirc.

When can chrono boost on a hatchery be used? I'm guessing it's for a 2v2 with P and Z? Or if a probe neural parasited a probe and made a Nexus lol.

I don't think that it is a bug... how does a PDD know if that fake shot is really fake ... it doesn't have detection built in.

Only with neural parasited probe that built a nexus. You can not chronoboost allied buildings. The Protoss leaving the game doesn't work either. It has to be a Nexus built by the Zerg.

Mythbusters is awesome because they blow things up. Same here, except we don't only use C4 to solve our problems, but also nuclear bombs, acid, psychic, so this is even more awesome.

Good job OP. Very nice series.

Then I think the real question is, can you NP an allied probe?

Nah tried to do so last night with a team mate Even giving him "Control" did not allow him to do so.

Maybe not a true myth in and of itself, but I would love to see a zerg NP an enemy protoss probe, build a nexus, make zerg "probes" and then surprise the enemy protoss with broodlords, voidrays, and collosi.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Myth 2: Hallucinated Archons tank more damage than a hallucinated immortal

This obviously depends on what the unit is being hit by.

Usually archon is the superior tank, because it has more HP and no armor type, but against very big individual attacks (Thor, Siege Tank, Archon, DT) the Immortal will do better.

Myth 4: eggs can be lifted by gravity lift from phoenixes

Yes. This is inconvenient for the Protoss since Pheonix do almost no damage to eggs. Try not to lift eggs.
My strategy is to fork people.

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.

ditto ^^

hahah this is funny, i loved the fungals on the larva! That could come in handy i guess, insta kill production. Does the zerg get his money refunded when you kill larva that are making something?

Great show, don't have any myths to suggest though, just keep it up! I would consider changing the font and design of your video though, looks really cheesy and overdone - maybe take some tips from defendthehouse's mythbusting videos? They have a pretty slick video design/layout.

It's on the tooltip, I don't understand why it's considered a myth.

From http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Zealot#Upgrades

Charge
Researched from: Twilight Council
Grants the Charge ability.
Also increases Zealot movement speed to 2.75 (+0.5).

The movement speed "myths" in general are a bit silly to include since mousing over a unit's armor icon tells you how fast they move.

I like the concept of the show in general and think it could be enlightening for less knowledgeable players, but personally, out of all the episodes, there was like two scenarios that I didn't already know the answer to.

Maybe you should write a description of the myth above the vods to let us know what its about.
Thanks

Cool idea, never thought of some of these things. The font in the last two videos makes it hard to read the myth before the text disappears. Please use a clearer font.

Couple of ideas to test:
1) in a team game, can your allies units be loaded into your nydus, medivac, or warp prism?
2) if a ghost is lifted by graviton beam while calling a nuke, does the nuke still land? if it doesn't land, is it cancelled or is the nuke lost?
3) if an infestor is lifted while it has a unit NPed, does the NP cancel?
4) can force fields be placed around the vortex to keep the units clustered like the fungal did?
5) if you put just one SCV into a medivac or bunker, can it repair itself? does it cost extra?
6) you showed that a hallucination was repaired, but does it cost minerals to do so? (unit tester doesn't have mins)
