comment As a Terran, what's a good counter to early Mutalisks?
@tzenes i agree that there are exceptions to all the 'rules', but there are certain units that dominate other units, in isolation. mass mutas beat mass mauraders in almost every situation, unless maybe the marauders manage to get in your base and snipe a critical building. However, I like your point that not all "counters" are just about unit mix, and that certain strategies can counter other strategies.

comment What's the best counter for Protoss Carriers?
@Tigraine sorry but that is just not the case. if you scout him building a fleet beacon, or even scout him with one carrier, you can start building corrupters or hydralisks or vikings or void rays. by the time the 'toss has 5 carriers, you will have enough anti air to compete. the point isn't to stop him from getting carriers. it's to make sure you know he is doing so, and start building the right unit to counter. i would love to see a replay of 5 carriers destroying an equal amount of corrupters or hydras or even vikings (equal by resource value, not numbers).

comment What's the most efficient way to select workers to build things in Starcraft 2?
@tzenes true. and then (if you're me) wonder why our income is so low, and finally remember to crank out a bunch more drones :)

comment Is it possible to build across all selected buildings simultaneously?
my friend was amazed to see my apm spike in a replay. i suspect it was when i was morphing 50 banelings by holding down the e key :)

comment As a Terran, what's a good counter to early Mutalisks?
@Ivo Flipse Any unit whose counter is "don't let the enemy get them" would be imbalanced almost by definition. mutas cost 100/100. marines cost 50 each. turrets also cost only minerals, and do serious dmg to mutas

usually bioballs can push before broodlords are really an option.

comment What's the best counter for Protoss Carriers?
@Ivo Flipse "don't let him get that far" can't always be the answer. if the only way to counter a certain unit is to never let the opponent get the unit, then that unit is imbalanced. SC2 is like rock paper scissors - each unit has a counter. the important thing is to scout so you know that he has carriers before he shows up with 12 of them and you have a bunch of zerglings or zealots.
