No one types with one finger. Not even 8 year old girls. Bad troll.

high level no, but u can still play anyways. i would recommend slowly starting to incorporate other fingers and get used to it gradually, for the sake of your own enjoyment at the very least.

Really doubt it, and if I were you I would learn how to touch type before trying to play 'high level' SC. Makes using the computer A LOT easier.

I typed with my 2 point fingers only mostly but I'd use my pinky for shift and such. I'm not completely using 2 fingers, but close to it. With BW and sc2, that improved a lot though. If you find yourself in Bronze, as you naturally get better at the game, your typing will use more fingers/gain speed as well. It's not something you should consciously think about as it will improve naturally. Also, My WPM is around 90. Now, I use 4 fingers mostly. sometimes, 6...Overall, just play.. It will improve over time naturally.

It honestly will not take you too long to learn and get used to typing better. I recommend typing a good long blog about it while only using good typing habits, It couldn't hurt.

Ahh that would make kind of a cute story (assuming you have all fingers but just use the one on your left for keyboard actions of course since that would be sad if all you had is one :/ ) that your learning to play by using 1 finger to command stuff. Learning to type was hard for me as a young kid in school but I have one tip, get a cover for the keys so you can better learn them, for some reason that orange key cover is the one thing my mind associates with me learning to type. Good luck dude, you'll be using all fingers in no time with some typing practice I'm sure!

I actually type with mostly two fingers, but I play games with my whole hand. I never learned how to type properly, but I learned how to hunt and peck at an insane speed without looking at the keyboard by playing Nethack and MUDs when I was growing up. It's strange because I come closer to proper typing when I'm gaming than when I'm actually typing.

Mind you, I suck at Starcraft, but I think that's got more to do with lack of practice, I never play more than a couple games a week.

Uhh yeah like a lot of people are saying, use your fingers ^^

I had a friend once that only used 1 finger on each hand, was painful for me to watch, yet made me feel like a pro xD

How old are you? If you're older than 10 I think you should definitely know how to type with all your fingers. There are programs on the Internet you can use to improve your typing skills. If you want to be successful at Starcraft you must use the keyboard quickly and efficiently.

If you really want to get good, I suggest you change your habits. It is just a matter of devotion and practice. However, if a blind guy can play BW, you can easily reach master rank by only using one finger:
