When i started hots I didn't know reapers no longer required a tech lab.

Every game i would rush 1-2 early reapers for scouting or harass. In TvT mine were always later. I finally checked a replay when 1 game i lost going 2 rax reaper opening when he went 1 rax and had more than me. My mind was completely blown. I had already played 150 games by this point of hots

wait i dont get this.


If you have like roaches/hydras/zerglings in one group and u want to just select all lings you hold down "ctrl" + "click" the ling icon and it'll automatically select all lings in that group by themselves.

ALSO lets say you have roaches/hydras/zerglings in your group and you want just the hydras and roaches selected in the group then you do "shift" + "ctrl" + "click" zergling icon and it'll get rid of all zerglings from your current control group. (You have to manually reset your group afterwards if you want it to stay that way i.e. "ctrl" + "#" once the units are in or out of the group)

I never really thought of hotkeying my forward pylon as a camera hotkey. I think it was Rotterdam who mentioned it on his stream. Makes it much easier, since i hotkey it to spacebar, i don't have to scroll up or click on the minimap to warp in. Much more effecient!

Yeah this is what I meant. I knew about the first part but never thought it worked the other way around to delect all units of a type from your control.

Very annoying when you have SCVs in with your army after pulling SCVs to hold an allin or something and you're trying to quickly pick out the SCVs.

This is something i never knew how to do, i would see streamers do it but i would always wonder how to do it. Now i know! Thanks~

You can't put mules into medivacs. It would be cool to be able to drop manner mules from medivacs and not from the sky

I didn't realize until HotS came out and they introduced the simple command card that you could cancel building placement my right clicking. I had always hit Escape.

Ok guys, I'm a diamond Zerg who has been playing SC2 since release (not so gosu or anything, but high enough that you think I'd know very basic things about my race) but I just found out about 2 weeks ago that a hatchery has an animation if it's making a queen vs being idle.. T_T I went WTF in real life like 10 times because I couldn't believe I could play 1500 games and still not recognize what was in front of my eyes all along hahaha

When playing Zerg (I'm Random), sometime you get all your queens in the same place to defend air attacks or drops or anything.
It took me about 2 years to realize I don't need to manually send each and everyone of them back to their hatch to inject; but I can just box them all and inject all hatches and they'll all go to a different one! Saves lots of time!

Master and you never played with Infestors?
You started in HOTS or did you play all WOL on Lings / Banelings / Mutas => Ultra?

Didn't know how to attack move (always right clicked or target fired) until I was D on ICCUP and had played casually for maybe 5 years.
Didn't know shift-num to add (always used select-shift-ctrl-num to add) until this year.

The first one made a very big difference in my gameplay.

When I got into masters (the week before Dreamhack Summer last year) with Z after playing from the second season, I was still sure that infestors cost 200 gas and just had no clue how much supply an Ultralisk was.
