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
