Gurram has never played with hotkeys, and even when he beat good kreans at PGT, he didnt use them. He dont use hotkeys on gateways either, just if he has like carriers or muttas, when it's so hard to keep reselecting them over and over again. And yes he has been able to beat players of treks skill for a long time now, beating twisted pvz owning spawn pvt in the NW and by that time he was inactive also. It is strange that you guys didnt know, and didnt know about gurram how good he is, imo he is kinda easy on of the best tosses in europe, his PVZ can compete with dracos and fisheyes easy, same goes with his pvt. He dont play pvp tho, he playes zvp where he could beat semi-pros etc, beat leg 3-0 or something in TLT. And yes he is pure macro player, but dont underestiamte is micro cuz it's insane. I stayed at his house for a week, I have been to lans with him and it's funny when he is sitting there draging his mouse over the units over and over again when he's moving them backwards while storming with templars :D

And do you remember that Interview with a korean proteam coach? he said they were looking for pure skills, handspeed etc, guess if gurram started use hotkeys (which he most likely wont) but anyway, now he dont have any job anymore so he's gonna massgame alot, play the ladders etc, and I really hope to see him in TmG/mYm/SSV very soon cuz there's where he belong.
Really, play for fun!

But if u have gates on hotheys u clikc 4 5 6 7 and then with using mouse clicking on the prtins of units. It's the fastes way. When u have more than 7 gates in pvt u dont user hotheys too.


But doesnt he use ever 1 2 3 hotkeys for units? :|

Wiget, no that is what it is all about, he dont uses them for units for buildings, not for anything. And ofcourse he klickes on p when he builds a probe or z for a zealot. But when he moves his units he slectes them with the mouse over and over again.

without trying to take anything away from gurram victory I must say that trek not really played his best at all. I mean come one, you don't let a protoss get away with fast expo on 12/3 THAT easily...

gurram is good, sure thing, not top 5 foreigner p, hell not even close to top 10 foreigner.

I will never understand how one can play without even hotkeying his units. It was one of the first things I did myself, I did it in like the SC game I ever played -_- and he DEFINITELY would profit from it, if he took the time to learn using them.
As Eri said, you can't rush nearly as good PvZ without using hotkeys and as someone else said breaking pushes/contains in PvT must be a lot harder as well (same goes for breaking contain in PvZ). There is NOT disadvantage at all using hotkeys, it ONLY has advantages, it's just so NATURAL to hotkey your units....

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.



Agreed, PvT is very playable without hotkeys it's just a complete different style of management. Many toss players hotkeys their buildings only esp in PvT

TvP can also be played with very little hotkeys ( esp if your style is slow push / macro ) but I can't think of someone who would be able to play semi-pro level TvZ without hotkeys

inc, sorry, but then tell me those 5 p players who are better, and I do think I have a better overview of the scene than you. Have you ever seen him play?

i actually think gurram is definately top5 tosses, from what i've seen there isn't much doubt. he's become a more solid player lately somehow (he didn't play extra much).

with naz, rekrul, smuft not in the picture i really can't say one protoss that is that much better. fisheye in better shape than his current one and draco i guess, then i really see noone!

Yeah i've seen him play offline, he does not hotkey anything, and it's fucking insane. I wouldn't be able to play one single mu without hotkeys since my micromanagement cannot handle it, he seems to be fine with it though :o


I would say hes easily one of the best protossplayers out there, I dunno about top5 though, but when I list them I cant find alot players that are better than him. Would be.. Fisheye,draco, and uh.. Rekrul maybe.

Agreed with top 5 toss hes very good
I use to play with no hotkeys up until about 1.5 years ago, honestly I could play PvT just as good as I do now without them but PvZ is just a little bit harder but just selecting and re-selecting isnt as bad as everyone thinks. Often I go 1a2a3a4a like 2 times and not all of my groups move so I end up just drag selecting everything and moving it in..

Gurram playz zvp.

Anyhow, that LX (aka PNZ=Legendary) guy who beat boxer, PJ and played to a draw vs Kingdom is probably better than gurram ! But, other than that I dunno o_o There's really not as many great protoss players as there once was even in europe so yeah. Top 5 sounds acceptable

I've known gurram ever since I started BW and seen him play offline as well as online. Just before the games vs trek we had a LAN, ppl from our city Umeå, and I played like 40+ games vs him. It's still quite unbelievable for me how he can outmacro me so eaz and controll everything without using hotkeys.

Whenever you look at a replay with some good toss and see that he only ever hotkeys his first scouting probe - it's bound to be gurram.

And "inc." please just shut up. Anyone who knows something is entiteled to an opinion, and yes, mine and zpux etc are a bit biased but that changes nothing. Back when WSL was going on NO ONE knew him and I dled all his reps vs Oversky (2-1), Nal_GG (2-0), BlueK (1-1) not to mention all good non-koreans. Hell he had like 6-0 vs Zelotito ZvP and even record vs Willet in that ladder.

And this TLT season, he would have made the playoffs if only he wouldnt have prioritised partying on 1st of may before TLT and let a friend of lesser skill try to manage it. Even though he didn't qualify he still beat for example yan 2-0 easy in the last days, while playing pretty even with most zergs.

Since trek is inactive, this wasn't that big of a surprise to me. And he was not an underdog - he would have been an underdog if trek actually played bw.

Other than that, I agree with Daaman.
