Isn't this going to depend on the ramp? -_-
Nope, they're balancing the game for ramps that take 4 zealots to block - so having an early forcefield is probably the requirement to stop even non all-in zerglings.
Huh? Are you being sarcastic or did you read this somewhere? Sorry if my sarcasm detector sucks.

This is like the best video to show someone in doubt why Starcraft is awesome. And they can't use the "bad graphics" line. Caught their full interest by the end of the video.
Also Wtf? I saw this video when it had 176 views. Two days later, 129,000 views. Holy shit. This is the greatest advertisement Blizzard could hope for. >50,000 unique IPs per day. o_O
It's not a gold fish, It's probably a mini upkeep maintenance robot since immortals are like dragoons and have critically injured or killed/revived warriors in them. If you also notice its just basically the head of a protoss - no limbs.
In the 'Resources' overlay under minerals, the first number indicates total minerals in reserve and the number in brackets indicates income per minute. But what does the grey rectangle that covers an area over those numbers indicate, the one that constantly changes length? I can't figure it out.
I think it's a bar graph to give a graphical representation of their relative income, but I could be wrong.

What happened to just good old fashioned micro and macro? Besides a few abilities for each race, you didn't have to use all these abilities in SCII. For Protoss, storm, recall, statis. For Zerg, Dark Swarm. For Terran, spider mines, irradiate and EMP. It seems like every unit in SCII has some ability... [Yes, I know there are several that don't]
There are 32 abilities in SC2 compared to 30 in SC last I had heard.

Not income rate. Current minerals/gas.
Isn't that what the numbers are for though? I'm talking about the grey transparent bar.
