Excellent comeback BR! It was quite an delight to see. Since I do not have access to private computer (and therefore replays are useless to me), battle reports like this are immensely valuable to me. Also I guess Nazgul's tactic, while bit counter-intuitive, would work. Pretty interesting that no unit hot key would lead to better macro and micro.

hmm i've often thought about what was the ultimate hk style. i ended up deciding hk your units, hk 3 or so production buildings early on so you can have perfect early game macro, and hk some nexus. then use screen hks over production farms.

i think naz's hks were noobie :D

This was a lot of fun. I like your style of BR writing (I played protoss in BW :3). Will definitely keep an eye out for more of your blogs :D

Excellent, please do more of these ! ^^
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

Grat BR! My only criticism is that + Show Spoiler +
Protoss won T.T

Cool blog, I do want to add that this is 4-5 years after going inactive. The hotkeys I have in this game I have always had like this in BW. It allowed me to have my screen near 100% of my time on my units which allowed me to micro individual units well whereas others would chose to micro groups over individual units.


sigh

i mean its quite common that most BW pros dont rely on hotkeys for army the later the game goes.

if you watch JD, flash or bisu... except PvZ where u need to hotkey your sair shuttle stuff, they generally only have 1 or 2 hotkey for army and control the rest by boxes. This help a ton in arranging formation, dodging/sniping mines etc. The reason is you are controlling your units according to the visual input that you received which make the decisions often in time much more precised.

Think about it like this: would you rather draw a picture using a hose of paint or a tiny brush? clearly both of the method will bring you success as long as you are good at using them but the brush bring you deeper detail while the hose favors the speed. It is more important to use majority of you hotkeys late game into macro instead of micro so 1 or 2 army control group is often in time acceptable. Not even counting the fact that you could always use F-keys to help out.

The legend himself!

I'd never seen hotkeys like this before and I thought it was really cool that it allowed you to pretty much micro every unit personally. That said, there's no way I could emulate the style because I'm just terrible, but it's pretty fascinating just the same.

Wow I'm glad to see a old pro plays the same way I did. 1-8 on gateways midgame, 9,0 on nexi, then late game 1-0 hardcore macro mode with box click micro.

Kinda only works if you are protoss though I think.

There haven't been original BW protoss jokes since Blizzard made one in 98.
