While managing this question, I have realized that there are few references online for SCII slang or jargon, which is frequently used by commentators during casts of SCII games. Games are often short, and commentators don't always have time to define the terms they use to refer to compositions of units. For example I have heard terms like:
- Protoss Death Ball
- Cracklings
- MMM
- Shark Roaches
Can someone provide a comprehensive list of such jargon along with their explanations?
Best Answer
Yes, there are plenty of naming conventions used by the community to identify different groups of different units. I'll list some of them:
Protoss:
Zerg:
Terran:
General Naming Conventions:
There are even more conventions, in this moment I don't remember all of them. I'll edit the post when I'll remember others.
If you want to learn even more of those conventions, just lurk on Team Liquid and in main Twitch Sc2 Channels.
I hope I've been helpful.
