I guess you have to work on your precision, selecting zerglings shouldn't be difficult at all. I admit when you have like 100 zerglings it can be tough moving them all at once, but other than that it's all in your ability to hone in on specific places fast. One key part of it is the assembly of the zerglings before you attack/defend. Obviously zerglings will be toast against mnm or even zealots if you march in on a straight line, just spend a few seconds to stop in front of where you are going to head to spread them apart attacking more so in a wider area or semi circle. Also try to do this as you're attacking, re positioning them to have more attacking at the same time. As for hotkeying them, it takes some practice, it shouldnt be too bad ifyou have a couple or so in other groups as long as you can move them all. Make sure you are using shift and maybe moving each group apart from the rest as your hotkeying. Another way to do it is perhaps using burrow, control click ctrl 1, u, then control click another zergling and ctrl 2, burrow etc.. the ones that burrow do not go into the same group. Other than that I guess it's all in experience. I hope this helps | ||

Also, a very helpful thing to do is to shift-add the zerglings to your groups right as they spawn, meaning that they won't end up standing in a big confusing clump. This method does require quite a lot of speed and attention though, so don't expect to be able to do it right away. | ||

I'd imagine I'll fuck up burrowing both lings and lurkers in a flank though Whats worse though is to not have burrow researched, and then have your attack fail miserably because a stray zling/hydra got into your lurker group and they REFUSE to burrow! | ||

Or when a stray lurker gets into a group of other units, so they can't attack move. Ah, the many sorrows of the zerg player... Edit: Ok, nvmd, that was wrong. | ||

My mistake, I had to test to make sure...I don't know why I thought that. | ||
