It's just an ugly, creep-crapping paperweight. Also, his larvae can only morph into units he has the required buildings for, and they don't get my upgrades. Yet I still somehow won that game alone and the win put us into master's league. Ha! Lol actually having an ally leaving a game is the most imba strat in the 2v2. I think I could beat a pro with that. The fact is that it instantly gives you your ally ressources and income, and you spend it the way you want. But your supplies are still separates (the supply of your leaving ally still exists, it is just not shown on stream). You can spend all the money on you or your ally (or both, but that's not optimal  ).If your ally leave in the beggining, you can for exemple 6 pool while taking a hatch first and making banelings ( , if you're protoss you can do a 6 gate +1 with blink researching that hit earlier than a regular 4 gate, if you're terran, well, do a doom push .I hope blizzard will patch this one day, because leavers is with pooling the 2 things that can make 2v2 really ugly. | ||

Approximately one year ago I realized a factory only costs 150/100, instead of 200/100. Given this fact I now know why I always have so much money left after bulding a factory :D Also sc2 tanks are not only worse than bw tanks, in terms of damage, but also more expensive. A bw tank costs 150/100, while a sc2 tank costs 150/125. SC2 tanks aren't worse though. BW tanks do far more overkill, if two tanks fire one right after the the other they will both hit and kill the same units very often while in SC2 if a shot will kill the main target then the next shot fired by another tank just miliseconds later will hit a different target. That is why tanks have lower damage in SC2, because the AI is smarter and therefore they would do too much damage if they still did 70 damage per shot, probably also the reason they take up 3 supply (they were 2 in BW) and cost slighly more... because they are actually better than BW seige tanks | ||

I'm pretty surprised at some of the unit / building based things that people didn't know. I think I just learned them all right off the bat because I started SC2 as a total noob, so I thoroughly read about everything before getting too deep into it. | ||

On topic: When the reaper killed a hellion 1v1 when I was watching Tastosis cast, my mind was blown right along with theirs. | ||

The overkill is vastly overstated, and doesn't work how you think it does. | ||

In HotS now it's the same with photon overcharge on nexus. Did that to a guy who DT rushed me. He had his DT killing my probes and my observer was ~5-10 seconds away so I just used photon overcharge on the nexus, the DT then targeted the nexus instead of the probes until my observer arrived ^___^ | ||
