We are the SC2 Mythbusters! It's a lot like the TV 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

Thanks for the submissions!

That burrow one on the supply depot is quite good.

A comment noted that PDDs don't block units directly under them, is that true?

Units warping in taking double damage was mentioned either during Blizzcon or one of the alpha battle reports. I don't know if it was ever in a playable build or just an idea they were thinking about, but for some reason the myth lived on.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Yeah, what made me think of the myth was combatex saying during a 4gate tutorial to focus warping in units because they take double damage

Guess not!

Thanks for the new episodes. I did not know that the banelings could burrow on a depot. Interesting.
