    When an infestor uses neural parasite to mind control a unit , does the player who actually ownes the unit loses his supply-cost ??? For example if i mind controll an enemy marine (.....) while the terran keep his 1 supply ?

    i honestly dont know.... try making a test-map where you have an infestor and your opponent have some marines and suply depots
    then mind-control his marine from a cliff or something where he cant see you (so his marines wont attack you) and look at the replay after to see if his suply changed.

    thats what i would do :3

    They should go down 1 supply for the duration of the mc. I haven't hard tested, but feel pretty safe saying that is how it works.

    if I have to take a guess I'd say it doesn't change the supply counts. the controlled unit remains as your opponent's unit; you just temporarily controlling it.

    but we are all speculating, right?

    Alright, I bit the bullet and popped a replay. It appears that no supply change takes place.

    No supply should take place indeed since the enemy units don't even auto-target the mind-controlled unit at all, it's still considered to belong to the enemy, it just attacks his own for a small period of time...
