StarCraft 2 Slang

Blizzard's StarCraft was one of the most popular real-time strategy (RTS) games of all time. StarCraft II (SC2) created a resurgence in the StarCraft gaming (and viewing) community. It also introduced a new collection of slang terms. Whether you're just starting out in Bronze league or you've laddered up to Master, it helps to be familiar with StarCraft slang. Below are some of the terms and phrases every SC2 player should know.
