I just wanted to know, which Hotkeys do I need to use if I play Zerg, also how high does my APM have to be, to play good iwth Zerg. At the moment I use the Hotkeys 1-3 for units 4-9 for hatches. Also I could need some tips for gettin better with Zerg. Thanks and regards All right, OP. I feel that you're being a bit ambiguous with "how to be good with Zerg". You said you're average and you want to be good. Those aren't clearly defined, and so I'm having trouble helping you. 150-200 APM is a nice number to have, as is really good mechanics. Can you be more specific? Can you post a replay or two so we can see exactly where you're at? What's your ranking? Et cetera. And contrary to GenesisX's advice, I strongly recommend getting more than 12 ground units for attacking. I always felt that Zerg was all about swarming with masses of units, so you'll need more than one hotkey for your ground guys. And don't get queens. | ||

EDIT oh darkplasmaball posted below, it probably is just ensnare on hatchery, nothing special, but why would you want to slow down something which doesn't move? EDIT 2: also, you made a typo, overseer should be overlord, but that's minor... i guess you must really love drop strategy :O So does that make B bronze? What about A? Aluminum? Adamantium? | ||

Mine are: 1-3 units 4: all Hatches 5: main 6: natural 7: third 8: newest expo (beyond 3rd) for Drone production 0: Overseer I'm thinking about making 1-4 units, 5 all Hatches, and then shift everything down one key edit: Nevermind, didn't realize this was the BW forum. Sorry. | ||

Wow, I knew I was good but I didn't know I was this good. Anybody think I should go pro? BTW, I don't play SC that much and I'm already this good. Imagine how good I will be if I play full time. | ||

I personally use: 1 - First scouting drone -> Army 2 - First scouting overlord ->Mutalisks 3 - Defense drone (from pylon blocks and such) -> Overseer 4 - Nothing..  5-9 - Separate base hatches, 5 being main. 0 - All hatches, for pumping out units faster. You'll notice I don't have a hotkey for queens. I realize this is bad, but since I check my base every 1 or 2 seconds, I can inject anytime I don't see green bubbles on my hatcheries. Hope this helps. EDIT: LOL You have no units that require separate micro? I would use different hotkeys for backstab lings, lurkers, defilers and scourge at the very least. Also I tried selecting my overlord and frantically clicking V but nothing happens. What do I do? | ||
