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.) 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Like the zealot movespeed thingy, how is that even close to a "myth"? | ||

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) | ||
