The replays section of the site has all 5 replays.
Gurram beat Trek 4-1, and he was obviously a huge underdog.
Now other than reporting the match, there was another reason I'm posting this. I watched the replays, and foundout from BWchart that Gurram doesn't use hotkeys and yet was still able to win.
Now fine, the games weren't great, and they didn't mean anything since it was only a showmatch, and Trek is addicted to WoW...but in my eyes playing with no hotkeys is as much of a handicap as playing mouse only. And Trek even in his worst shape in a game he could care less about, is still a pG member and certainly not easy to beat.
So I guess I can't really articulate this well, but...what the fuck? Anyone else hear of a good player that doesn't use hotkeys?

Doesn't hurt even for pvt? I haven't watched the reps yet, but I would think you would need to hotkey some gates for decent macro to beat trek ;/

well i would think it would hurt micro more but maybe not so (im a terran player)
and dont get me wrong i still think its VERY strange that he used no hotkeys and still beat trek 4-1
it doesnt hurt your macro when you're a protoss player except when you are zealot rushing in pvz. protoss units take long enough to build to give you the opportunity to make units without having any gates hotkeyed.
it really is quite possible to play with protoss without hotkeys the main disadvantage as far as I'm concerned is if you're using a lot of shuttles. like nazgul used to play with only buildings hotkeyed. which is really not all that different from using no hotkeys at all when you are protoss.
if a terran or zerg can do the same then I will be very surprised though.

I don't see why you need to hotkey gateways. It's a lot faster to mouse through gateways hitting d/z than it is to hit 1d2z3d4z, etc, and late game when you have 10+ gateways, using hotkeys for them isn't feasible. But to not use hotkeys for units is unthinkable to me. There's no way to get all of your troops to simotaneously assault a push without hotkeys. Mouse grabbing and atacking moving just doesn't cut it.
