- 1A
- To attack in a simple fashion, as opposed to using complex micro to attack in a sophisticated way. "I just 1A'ed my units to his main and crushed his army." Derived from the act of pressing "1" to select the first control group and then pressing "A" to attack with it, the implication being that those are the only actions the attack required.
- 4G
- Lingo for the four Warp-Gate rush, or to indicate a four Gate opening.
- 6 pool
- 6/10 Spawning Pool
- 7RR
- 7 Roach Rush
- 20NR

A
- A-Move = Attack move
- Training Mechanics will distinguish between "Move" and "A-Move" commands. Depending on your Hotkey Layout, you press A and left click on the ground (not a unit) and you will attack move there. "A-Move" is explained in the basic tutorials. Start SC2 and search for "Tutorials": Menu -> Help -> Welcome-> Launch Tutorial -> Combat
- AA
- Anti-Air - Units or attacks that target air units (e.g. Spore Crawlers are anti-air defense structures)
- AG
- Anti-Ground - Units or attacks that target ground units (e.g. Marauders are anti-ground units)
- All-In
- An attack where the player commits everything in an offensive attack to win the game, often even including some or all of this player's workers. If this all-in attack fails, the game is almost certainly lost, as the player has sacrificed so much to attempt it.
- All-Kill Format
- A mode of teamplay where the winner stays on until he gets defeated by the opposing team. Also known as Winners League format.
- AoE
- Area of effect - A spell or ability that hits an area on the map rather than a specific target (e.g. EMP, Fungal Growth).

- Artosis Pylon
- A Pylon which is solely responsible for powering multiple critical structures.
- Archon Toilet
- A technique which involves the use of the Mothership's vortex ability on the enemy army, in conjunction with the Archon's natural AOE attack. A very late-game maneuver which takes advantage of the vortex mechanic, which upon release clumps the units trapped inside and use of the Archon AOE attack to quickly vaporize an army. Highly effective against slower units.(e.g. Broodlords, Battlecruisers, Voidrays).
- AUR = Average Unspent Resources
- Since Patch 2.0.x Blizzard presents statistics after every game you play. "Performance" shows the "Average Unspent Resources". A low amount is better than a large amount.

- BM
- Bad Manner - Acting toward another person with disrespect. Also see Manner.
- Big Push, The
- A technique used heavily by players such as Flash and Life. Using an timing push, based on upgrades, with a mass-producing units pushing heavily for territory, forcing a defensive response, and breaking the enemy's army Supply Line or simply their bases (and Economy) to pieces.
- BO
- Build Order - The creation order of buildings and units in the early game to achieve a specific strategy. Also see opening.
- Boa Constrictor
- When one side is continually applying pressure to his opponent at multiple locations, usually done with static units like siege tanks in TvT.
- BoX
- Best of (Number) - The winner between two players is determined by winning the majority of a set number of games. For example, Bo5 ("Best of 5") means a player must win the majority of 5 games to win the series. Common BoX's are Bo1, Bo3, Bo5, and Bo7.
- Bombing
- Dropping units on top of the enemy's units in order to cause splash damage from your own units (Banelings) or make the enemy's units attack themselves with splash damage (Siege Tanks).

- Choke
- Chokepoint - A narrow area in between two or more open areas.
- Concave
- Used to describe the surface area of an attacking army. Pre-engagement, generally it is recommended to spread your army before attacking to ensure optimal damage output and prevent units cluttering amongst each other trying to reach the front line in order to attack.
- Contain
- The act of placing units outside of the enemy's base to prevent the enemy from expanding and to reduce the enemy's map control. "Contain" is sometimes prefixed by the units used in the contain, such as MMM contain, Roach contain, or Stalker contain.
- Creep
- Zerg hatcheries, creep tumours and overlords can create a sludge known as 'Creep'. This is useful for map control and increasing the Zerg player's vision of the map. Creep also increases the speed of both allied and enemy Zerg units running on it by 30%. See Creep for some more specific information.
- Creep Bridge or Creep Highway
- Refers to a long path of creep, usually created by Overlords, leading from the player's base to a strategic location, most often the opponent's base. This allows Zerg to reinforce to the strategic location very quickly.
- Critical Mass
- The number of units where the marginal benefit of one additional unit changes from linear to exponential. For example, going from 1 Void Ray to 2 Void Rays is linear in terms of strength against the enemy. However, going from 6 Void Rays to 7 Void Rays is much more effective than going from 1 to 2. Thus, having 6 Void Rays can be considered a critical mass of Void Rays. Critical masses are limited to ranged units only, and units which are ranged and have splash damage reach critical mass much faster than those without splash damage.
D
- Death Ball
- A ball of a given unit combination that is very difficult for the enemy to deal with and has the potential to destroy the enemy in one decisive attack. Common death balls are Colossus/Void Ray/Stalker, Tank/Viking/Raven, and Infestor/Brood Lord.

- Doom Drop
- A drop which contains a significant part of the player's army. For example, 7-10 Medivacs filled with units would be considered a doom drop.
- Droning
- Buildings Drones as Zerg. This differs from the other races' worker production in that the shared production resource of Larva makes it a strategic decision.
- Drop
- The act of unloading combat units from an aerial transportation unit (Medivac, Warp Prism, Overlord) inside the enemy's base. Also see Doom Drop.
- DPS = Damage Per Second
- The amount of damage dealt by a unit in one second. DPS is also used loosely to mean "Rate of Damage".
E

- The state of a player's rate of income and number of mining units compared to the enemy's rate of income and number of mining units.
- Elevator
- Using aerial transportation (Medivac, Warp Prism, Overlord) to move units from one elevation to another elevation, thus acting like a real world elevator. Also see Drop.
- Elimination Race

- Expo
- Expansion - Building a Hatchery/Command Center/Nexus in a place where it can gather resources. Also see Natural.
- EAPM
- Effective Actions Per Minute - The number that represents how many clicks and buttons are being pressed in one minute according to Blizzard time.

F
- Fabian tactics
- A tactic where one avoids direct/tactical battles and instead aims to wear the enemy down via small skirmishes, disruption of economy, and drop tactics. Usually used when one side is at a disadvantage and is trying to gain a foothold. Name is a historical reference to Roman dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus.

- Fungal Growth
- Flanking
- The act of attacking from an additional angle to create a better concave, increase surface area, and block off retreat. Flanking increases the odds that the aggressor will win the engagement.
- Float
- Having an excessive amount of Minerals or Gas in the bank. This is often a sign of poor macro-management, although it can happen once a player reaches maximum Supply. It can also happen intentionally when saving up for a specific moment, such as waiting for a Spire in order to complete to make a large number of Mutalisks at once.
- Fog of War
- The gray area of the map which can only be revealed by scouting.
- Food

H
- Harass
- Harass or Harassment is the act of using a small number of units, usually with superior mobility, to cause damage to the enemy without a large engagement. Harassment is usually targeted at damaging or disrupting the enemy's economy, sometimes even the production. Typical harass units are Reapers, Banshees and Mutalisks.

- Manner
- The general way one person treats another person which is either "good manner" (GM) or "bad manner" (BM).
- Infinitive - Telling someone "To manner (up)" means "to behave" or "To act with respect" (ex. "Manner!", "Manner up or leave").
- (Adjective with OBJECT/ACTION) - A "Manner ((Building Name))" (ex. "Manner Nexus", "Manner Hatchery") is a building created in an obvious fashion at the loser's base to show the winner's dominance in the match. This tells the losing player how much money the winning player had when the losing player lost. Usually expensive or redundant buildings are used such as creating a massive amount of Dark Shrines or Fleet Beacons. "Manner" can also be used with actions such as "Manner dancing" (using the dance command in the losing player's base) or "Manner MULEing" (dropping a MULE during a battle to humiliate the opponent). Also see Manner Pylon.
- (Adjective with PERSON) - Calling someone manner (ex. "ThorZaIN is so mannered") means that he acts respectfully in all showmatches, doesn't badmouth his opponents, and never shows rage or foul-mouthed behaviors.

- A worker unit of any given race (Drone, Probe, SCV). The term comes from Warcraft in which the Orcs' worker was called the Peon.
- Proxy
- Creation of a unit producing or tech structure anywhere that is not part of a player's base.

A proxy tech structure is used to hide the player's tech path and intention from the enemy.
- Push
- Slowly forcing the enemy to retreat by inching forward with an attack force. Attacking the enemy in this slow fashion makes it much more difficult for the enemy to break. A common example of a push is leap-frogging Siege Tanks toward your opponent by moving the siege tanks from the back to the front of the push.
Q

- Snipe
- Destroying a high-priority target before the other player can save it.
- Soft Counter

- Special Tactics
- An increasingly popular term made famous by Protoss player White-Ra referring to unusual tactics that are meant to surprise the enemy, but even if scouted and countered does not hurt your overall gameplay. This is related to cheese in the power that comes when said tactic is unscouted and not explicitly prepared for.
- Spending quotient
- Spending quotient (generally referred to as SQ) is a value introduced as a reliable method for quantitatively assessing a player’s economic management in a game.
- Spooning
- The act of destroying the opponent very slowly and deliberately, as if to kill someone with a spoon. This term goes hand-in-hand with the player ThorZaIN's nickname: "The Spoon Terran".
- Stalemate
- Draw. The term is probably borrowed from chess. See Stalemate Detection.
- Starving out
- Using harrassment or a contain to prevent the enemy from taking new bases or critical resources. Eventually, the enemy will run out of resources and will no longer be able to defend.
- Static defense
- A building with combat capabilities, often used to fortify a location. Examples include Spore Crawler, Photon Cannon and Missile Turret
- Stream cheating
- Looking at the live stream of your opponent in order to see what he does and beat him with an unfair advantage.

- Looking at a stream and begin searching for a match at the same time as the streamer in order to get the streamer as your opponent. Sometimes done repetitively.
- Stutter Step
- A micro technique where a unit is ordered to attack, move just as its attack animation begins, attack again as soon as the weapon cooldown is over, and so on. This maximizes the amount of damage a unit can do while pursuing enemy units or fleeing to a more favorable position. Also see Kiting.
- Supply Block

T
- T1, T2, T3
- Evolution level of Zerg main building (1, 2, or 3).
- Very often wrongly used instead of referring to tech as low/mid/high for Terran and Protoss techs.
- Zerg - T1 = Hatchery, T2 = Lair, T3 = Hive
- Sometimes people will refer to a half-tier, such as "T1.5". This means a unit requires more tech than one tier but not as much tech as the next tier. For example, a Baneling requires a Baneling Nest which requires a Spawning Pool, so a Baneling is T1.5 because it requires more tech than a Spawning Pool but not as much tech as a Lair.
- The definitions including half-tiers are not clear-cut and subject to some debate, but can be broadly considered to be:
- Tier 1 - Zergling, Queen (Spawning Pool)
- Tier 1.5 - Roach (Spawning Pool + Roach Warren); Baneling (Spawning Pool + Baneling Nest)
- Tier 2 - Hydralisk (Lair + Hydralisk Den); Infestor, Swarm Host (Lair + Infestation Pit); Mutalisk, Corruptor (Lair + Spire)
- Tier 3 - Ultralisk (Hive + Ultralisk Cavern); Brood Lord (Hive + Greater Spire); Viper (Hive)

- Tasteless Pylon
- A second Pylon supporting an Artosis Pylon thus preventing the lone pylon to be called an Artosis Pylon.
- Tech
- Refers to how much structures is needed to unlock a given unit on a race's tech tree.
- Three categories: Low tech, Middle tech and High tech
- It is also referred as Early game tech, Mid game tech and Late game tech
- It is frequently used Tier levels instead of tech levels for zergs
- Terran:
- Low tech - Marine, Reaper (Barracks); Marauder (Barracks + Tech Lab)
- Middle tech - Hellion, Widow Mine (Factory); Siege Tank (Factory + Tech Lab); Ghost (Barracks + Tech Lab + Ghost Academy)
- High tech - Thor (Factory + Tech Lab + Armory); Hellbat (Factory + Armory); Medivac, Viking (Starport); Raven, Banshee (Starport + Tech Lab); Battlecruiser (Starport + Tech Lab + Fusion Core)
- Zerg:

- Turtling
- Spending most or all of the game defending instead of attacking. Turtling can be seen as BM if it unreasonably drags out the game.
U
- UMS
- Use Map Settings - A map which depends on scripted events to play. This is a term carried over from Brood War.
V
- Vision advantage
- Some units can attack further than their sight range will allow. Vision advantage occurs when a unit can attack the enemy using the full attack range due to additional vision granted by air units or floating buildings while the enemy cannot return fire.
W
- W-L
- Abbreviation for "Won-Lost", used when cramped for space in table headings.
