How does Terran best deal with Protoss Carriers?
Build plenty of Goliaths with the range upgrade from the Armory and keep them on Hold Position under Missile Turrets. Science Vessels with EMP Shockwave help by stripping the Carriers' shields.
What makes the SCV different from the Probe and the Drone?
The SCV has more HP (60) and can repair mechanical units, other SCVs and buildings. Its drawback is that it stays busy for the whole time a building is under construction.
What is ElKy's proxy Barracks trick on Bifrost?
ElKy builds a Barracks on a hidden high ground, lifts it off and lands it in his opponent's base. He also builds a Supply Depot tight against the opponent's mineral line, blocking his workers.

Four classic replays show the key ideas: NaDa's fast Timing Push with three Siege Tanks and Vultures against Nal_rA; Flash's patient macro defence with Goliaths, Science Vessels (EMP Shockwave and Defensive Matrix) and Spider MinesSpider MinesVulture mines that burrow and jump at enemy ground units that come close.
