Back after a couple of days (basically had 5am - 2am days on both Tuesday and Wednesday).

Game 1, PvZ: macro seemed to be going well until I realized that I didn't ever have enough drones on my mineral line and took me longer to max out than I feel it should. He rolled over me with stargate tech. Oops.

Game 2, ZvZ: I'm bad. Really as simple as that. Got distracted in the game and never recovered mentally. Take it on the chin and move on to the next one.

Game 3, PvZ: Again, I'm bad. I'm not even sure what really happened, I just felt like a Goldeen and died.

Will try again more tomorrow, but maybe the lack of sleep that I've had over the last couple of days played a bigger role than I thought it would. 0-3 at the end of the day, but tomorrow I am going to try to go back to backspace injecting like I used to do when I was high Platinum. My hands are relatively small and having each queen on a separate hotkey just feels clunky.

See you tomorrow!

idk what backspace injecting is but this is what i used to do when i was playing sc2:

I tended to keep my queens at hotkey 4. I had "r" as hotkey for inject. What i did was i added an alternative hotkey for inject into "v". Then i changed my base camera (or whatever that was called where it cycles through your town halls) into "shift + v".

That way i could go "press 4 -> hold shift -> v -> click -> v -> click -> ..... [repeat for every hatchery]

Obviously using location hotkeys should be easier but i myself never learned to use location hotkeys properly in BW and after like 10 years i never cared to learn.

The base hotkey inject method was kinda removed when they made injects stackable, now queens will wander off more often.

You can just hit 'S' after your round of injecting, no wandering queens. That may mean you miss injects though. You could also do it the way Jaedong did. Box-selecting the paired queen every time you hit backspace (I have this bound to spacebar personally.)
