You guys had a lot of constructive criticism for last season, so we've fixed everything, and made sure that this season would be better than ever!

Description: We are the 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!
Sc2Mythbusters

P.S. Someone made us a Liquidpedia page! I don't know who did it, but you rock!

I think he means a compiled list. It would be nice to have them in the original post (separated by episode under spoilers, for example).

I dont know if this has been done or not already, or if it's even a big deal, but you can drop changelings directly on banelings (selecting unload and then clicking on the baneling) and the baneling will detonate.

Your welcome

this is great. however i do feel some of the myths are rather nooby. i mean the sensor tower one SHOULD be well known by all starcraft players by now. i feel like you guys should work more on the ones that are harder to test (e.g. archon forcefield or graviton) great work though

Make it more like the tv show where they hype something up for 10 minutes with long ass commercial breaks in between and then completely overreact to the result PP

I liked the first season but I felt it moved too quickly... lol. But I don't think you can really do anything about that

Well, it's kind of hard to come up with excellent myths for every episode, we'd run out! We don't do completely absurd ones, but we like to have a mix of really "out there" myths for the experienced players and more "general knowledge" myths for the new ones.

With the submissions from community members, and things we've thought of on our own, that should be quite some time from now!

But keep submitting though!
