    Yeah, I heard that recently. The concept of repairing void rays and immortals is just hilarious.

    I can't believe I still don't have a key. I've entered like 11 different contests, opted in way before beta started.. all for nothing :X

    Goes without saying, but if someone has a spare key... (nudge nudge,wink wink)

    Is there a reason you can't get it from preordering the game?

    Pre-order not really possible. I've no credit cards, no internet billing services.. and not one of the major or minor stores in Greece has gone through with providing a key for pre ordering.

    Ah, well, that's unfortunate. I don't have any extra keys, sorry.

    Delirium: wat

    So, along the same lines as SCVs can repair 'toss mech units...

    Could the medivac heal basically ALL the zerg units? Which one of you zerg players wants to team up with me and try it? If it works, we will be EPIC. Probably take the league by storm for a little while, until someone finds a counter.

    Yes, I remember in an early 2v2 on Twilight Fortress, TZvP?, I was pretty much mass marines and medivacs, with my ally going Mutas. The opposing P had some Collosus, and my Marines melted, but all the Muta + Medivac was able to clean up until my 7 rax reactor were able to pump out mass marines.

    I can finally counter terran bio ball at the silver and lower gold level. Woohoo! I just have to be super super watchful of the minimap and control xelnaga watchtowers at all times in order to have an effective baneling minefield.

    Are friendly explosions a problem with banelings like they are with siege tanks? I only ask because I hate blowing my own shit up...>_>

    I'm really not sure XD. I try not to let them die though. I send in roaches first to soak the damage and just move my banelings in right after XD. Though against a bigger mmm ball, your best bet is to not even roll your banelings. Just keep them underground in key defensive positions and blow them up when the terran walks on top. They don't usually expect this since as far as I know not many people do it. Just make sure you don't put it inside your base though because terran will usually scan your base first before attacking.

    No, banelings don't blow up your units. It'd be kinda silly if they killed eachother, resulting in massive chain reaction explosions. Incidentally, tanks are great for killing banelings. Literally two tanks will kill groups of bunched up banelings in one shot each, because of splash.

    They also increased the range on helions and gave terran a bunch of other buffs. WTF?!@

    At least they didn't buff marauders or banshees (not that I should really fear banshees anymore, what with phoenixes being so good that I may as well just build them every damn match)

    Well as a zerg player I feel like I'm getting screwed over a bit XD.

    Yeah guy I'm not sure how it is for zerg in your leagues but I'm one of the only 4 in top 20. The rest are evenly mixed between protoss and terran.
