strategy time at KT, terrans are taking starcraft 101 from professor flash (T/N students are  BarrackS, Suny and... no idea wtf i can't recognise the third guy)what tips will prof. flash give us? if you're terran, you should pay attention now! starcraft 101 chapter 1: problem with rashness? play slowly flash: suny, i think you're trying to end games too quickly. in tvz, you try to take down the zerg 3rd/4th no matter what caption: prof flash identifying the weakness of zerg flash: in this way, hyung, your playstyle is actually a lot like mine....... caption: really? flash: for example, when the toss engages, you panic and siege your tanks at the same time... you should retreat a bit and siege in a way so you can get a good engagement. when i watch your games, hyung, your multitasking is good, apm, everything is good. except for your decision making and your rashness, it's a bit disappointing... starcraft 101 chapter 2: in tvp, your tank line is key flash: suny hyung, your tank lines are really shoddy... how your tanks are arranged is really really important in tvp, if your tank line isn't good, even a 180 supply toss can break your 200 army. but if it's good, your 150 army can hold off a 200 toss caption: suny is the prince of shoddiness? flash: but you just plant mines anywhere and siege anywhere. you need to concentrate sometimes on one particular screen, even if it slows your macro down. play slowly. caption: prof flash saying to concentrate what is on the screen 1:40 - flash: what i have learned is that no matter how good your multitasking is, if you can't do the important things right, then you can never win. no matter how fast you are. the person that does the important things correctly is the winner. caption: prof flash explaining the theory of apm-uselesness... flash: if you think about it, who can't multitask these days? everyone is good at it. the best players i think are the ones who do only the things that really matter. starcraft 101 chapter 3: what is multitasking, in prof flash's view? 2:08 - flash: if you asked me right now what the hotkeys were for marines or tanks, i wouldn't be able to tell you the answer. but in a game, i know where the hotkeys are unconsciously. although doing things without thinking about them is required for multitasking, you must also be thinking about the next screen when you do something. 2:34 - flash: when you send your vultures to 9 o'clock, you must be thinking to produce more vultures. you send the vultures, produce more vultures, then look back at the vultures you sent, then you need to think about sending new scvs to mine while you're looking at the vultures. you have to keep doing that. 2:50 - flash: for example, in the early game, i make a point never to have new scvs idling. i always have in my mind that i need to send scvs to mine continuously. over time these small things add up and make a difference. ---- ok, so nothing really interesting or deep in that, but it didn't take as long as i thought it would, so i just finished it. | ||

I think his point about the tanklines is the biggest mistakes I make in my TvPs these days. I don't know how many games I've lost due to sloppy army control because I'm trying to do everything at once (which I obviously cannot do very well with my horrible multitasking) instead of making sure I set things up right in the most critical moments.  | ||

flash: if you asked me right now what the hotkeys were for marines or tanks, i wouldn't be able to tell you the answer. but in a game, i know where the hotkeys are unconsciously. although doing things without thinking about them is required for multitasking, you must also be thinking about the next screen when you do something. god hands have a memory of their own. | ||

flash: if you think about it, who can't multitask these days? everyone is good at it. the best players i think are the ones who do only the things that really matter. important part, i feel like there are many speed-freaks out there in bw and sc2 and sometimes the goal to be faster makes you feel the game is smoother, however if you think about being faster ingame then you probably doing something wrong, no one should think while playing the game to be faster just for sake to be faster, it will make him do bad judgements ingame(becasuse he stopped focusing on actual game but on his performance), i actually salute to players who can slow down(consciously) and do some part 2 times slower just to do it right, everyone should know their weaknesses and strengths note: im not saying that being slow is good you can clearly see his advices being reflected in his own FP VODs | ||

But when I am actually playing, I don't think about it and the hand just goes with the flow. Pretty wierd to know the hotkeys but at the same time you don't. ಠ_ಠ Yeah, I'm pretty sure it all has something to do with muscle memory. You might not remember exactly what hotkeys you used in a game you previously played, but if you were to put your hands on the keyboard and/or play, you'd probably be able to feel which hotkeys you use. | ||

I think it's a matter of preference,some people just prefer to play it fast and yet still being able to make the correct DECISION. As seen in this video , xellos has it's own macro timing order and he despite missing his refinery , seems that he has a habit of macroing every few second although he may not realize he's not doing anything . I think there's pro's and con's however the only way to improve is to play faster and make strategy on the fly .Macro mechanics is improvable , game sense on the other hand takes lot of time ... | ||

Players like flash pick their timings on when to multitask and attack everywhere at once and think about it strategically. Makes me sad when I see pro level players just doing shit without thinking about it because they have nothing else to do and they just end up losing shit. | ||

I don't think I have any of his older reps on my comp atm to give exact numbers, but I remember him typically being at mid-high 200's, like 280 or so. Now, if you look at his more recent reps such as the WCG games vs Kal and JD, he's consistently lying around 330. There has been a significant rise in APM. | ||

Edit: Added spoiler tags~ I do see what you mean, though. I think that it is more his speed against Terran and particularly Protoss that has increased; his speed against Zerg seems fairly consistent over the course of his career. | ||

Sounds kind of like how you get to know a keyboard over time. I can sit here and type all day, but if someone were to ask me what the middle row of keys was in order, I wouldn't be able to tell them. | ||

I don't think he's necessarily saying that, but he's saying there are some important micro decisions that are really important (apparently positioning your tank line correctly can mean a 70 food difference in army power) - the main theme is to do what's important and not just spam apm for apm's sake | ||

I think you meant subconsciously instead of unconsciously in the translation btw. I really like how Flash emphasizes on putting focus on your engagements, positioning, and focusing on the important things at hand. It's unbelievable how much you can turn the tide in an engagement if you are carefully prepared and positioned well. | ||
