537: (P) In battles with three or more rows of stalkers, don't use focus fire with the whole army. It requires 17 stalkers to one-shot another stalker or roach. Instead, attack-move the army and box-select about two rows (16) of stalkers and focus fire with them. Target full health enemy units when you have more than two rows of stalkers. When units begin dying and the number drops below two rows, target units already weakened by your other stalkers. This prevents wasted shots, while still giving the benifits of focus fire in medium sized conflicts. Optionally, select two rows+ and use shift-focus fire (start targeting those closest to your box selection, and end with one closes to your un-boxed stalkers, which will have taken damage from them achieving hopefully similar result) and return to macroing. 538: (P/Z v T) It takes 14 stalkers (almost 2 rows) to 1-shot a marauder. It takes 9 roaches (just over 1 row) to 1-shot a marauder. Use in combo with the above for a similar effect. | ||

393. A higher APM will come naturally if you improve your macro and thus your ability to remember to do alot of simultaneous actions. Spamming doesn't help. This is completely false. Spamming helps you check-out your buildings and warm-up your fingers to be more reactive. As well, APM increase less by time, if you want to increase your APM significantly, you need to train it specificly by concentrating your mind on only being the fastest possible. | ||

541: (X) If you start getting angry, stop playing ladder matches. You will not perform at your best when angry/stressed/frustrated. | ||

 Takes a bit to get used to but becomes quite efficient once you get it down. | ||

Use in combo with the above for a similar effect. 537 and 538 are both wrong....marauders/roaches and stalkers are armored units hence stalkers do 14 damage to each of those instead of 10...requires actually less shots to kill each of those units (note that there are also naturally 1 armor for each of those units so that is also a factor) | ||

Which will have more effect on the rocks ? The incoming army trying to destroy them or a few SCVs repairing them, when they could be mining instead ? It's really a silly thing to try, if you give it any thought whatsoever. | ||

(Z) Tip: Eggs can be rallied directly into overlords (with transport upgrade) to make setting up a drop just a little easier. I assume morphing banelings can as well, although I didn't specifically test the banelings. Shift-queue overlords to load up more than one. If you assign the overlords to a control group, you can simply recall that control group and send them on their way to destruction with little effort. This also works with other races, but given the more expendable nature of Zerg units, it seems more usable. | ||
