"I know that a lot of upper level players customize their hotkeys. I'd be grateful for an explanation from a terran player how they do it and why that's beneficial.
Another challenge I have come across quite recently is grouping different types of units that use the same hotkey. In particular, I've lost a few battles (and games because of it) in TvP because I had marines/marauders and ravens in the same control group. And when I meant to stim my bio (hotkey T), I would drop autoturrets instead (also hotkey T). So I'm currently trying to remember to put my bio and raven in different groups.
The autoturret/stim problem actually exemplifies my main challenge with hotkeys: actually using them, and using them efficiently. I know what to do, and I use those listed about quite regularly, but getting used to using new hotkey combinations is really hard for me. And it bothers me that I just can't get used to using hotkeys to research upgrades. This may be one of the reasons why I am sometimes behind in upgrades. In fact I should probably also hotkey armories and engineering bays like I've seen progamers do it.
I clearly don't use hotkeys to the extent possible and any feedback particularly on this section will be very much appreciated. Especially advice on how to get used to using new hotkeys."
! To address the customizing hotkeys question you can bind/unbind your hotkeys from the main menu on bnet I believe it is under hotkeys.
Now when you have multiple untis with abilities in a hotkey bnet always decides to choose the unit you dont want to use to be selected. If you press tab this cycles to the next unit. If you click tab from raven it will go to rine rauders and you can stim all of them,.

Tabbing through the units is something I don't do at the moment. I'll have to try that!

Well I know he has a reputation of being something like the Darth Vader of the Starcraft 2 universe. But if he's Darth Vader then I'm Emperor Palpatine. So him and I get along just fine.
But seriously, I think his bad reputation is undeserved. Well, we'll see what happens when I start beating him on ladder

Ok. well, getting promoted isn't easy. I'm at the top of my division, I win a lot of games, and I play consistently vs. higher ranked people. And still, no promotion. I guess I have to keep this up for a while?! I'm going to write about this in the main section soon. For now here are some screen shots.
Beating higher ranked opponents:
(That guy was REALLY BM. Beating him felt great!)

Well it took you 190 wins to hit top platinum whereas someone has 1/5 of your games and nearly equal to your points. Taking a screen shot of a series of your wins when you clearly lost an equal number of games before that, says nothing
|
Good luck... terran is very hard at this level. Thats why we are so few...

Well duh... of course there are losing streaks in my match history. But that doesn't mean it's not looking good right now...

Thanks! I need all the support I can get... Looking at top 16 GMs in NA atm it seems there really aren't all that many terrans among them... not that I'd compare myself to them... but still.... terran was a lot stronger a few patches ago, now it is a little too weak. I'll address that in a major section soon...

When I play 1v1, I do it almost exclusively on the ladder. However, once in a while I also play practice games with other people. Today I managed to beat RevOrchid, arguably Team Revoki's strongest Zerg player, in one such games. He didn't know that from time to time I go hellion all-in vs. zerg.

RevOrchid is currently in the top 8 of the most brutal Master League division I have ever seen. He also used to be in GM ever so briefly at the beginning of Season 4. I don't beat players of his caliber very often, but when it happens it really helps me feel good about my game.

He wants a rm, so I guess I have to prepare another cheese
PS: RevOrchid approved this message.

Team Revoki's latest recruit, RevSynthetiQ, was kind enough to design a new banner for this blog. Thanks! Looks much better.
He's a talented designer and probably happy do to project work!

Season 4 has ended for me and I did not manage to get the promotion I was after. Maybe a future season will prove more successful. And maybe a switch to protoss is in order... I honestly do believe protoss is easier to play at lower levels and at lower APM
|
Great blog! Its a great read and you should definitely keep up your progress. Still have a whole week of season 4 to play then maybe promotion at the start of season 5^^ Should keep playing Terran as you've invested all this time into your goal of diamond you'd only be setting yourself back a little and why not continue for the challenge
