HINT + Show Spoiler + It's protoss vs. zerg Got to know if its Protoss or zerg. Looks like a protoss but zerg is possible. It looks like Dic_Blade if its a Protoss.He started 2 3 and a delayed 1. Slowly added 4 5 6. Keeps 2 unchanged for 5-8 minutes usually. SnOw, Mini and Best have some similarities but don't start with 2 3 and a delayed 1. They started 1 2 and a delayed 3. Snow also adds hotkey 7 in around 3-4 minutes. Best tends to add 5 before hotkey 4, but sometimes adds both. He also adds 678 for macro gates just after minutes 6-7.It looks most like Mini, but more Like Blade. Mini just starts out slightly different, usually, but maintains the same hotkey progression and the unchanged 2 hotkey. Its not Stork, Motive, Ruin, Tyson, YSC, Shuttle, Horang2, Ssinz, or Paralyze. Could Best or Mini, but I am leaning heavily towards Blade. But it could be a zerg. There's some similarities between some players of different races. Hence I have to know if its protoss or zerg. I never use only hotkeys to identify. It is always a combination of Race + APM/EAPM + hotkeys. Usually also use 5+ replays to confirm the hotkey use is generally consistent, because small variations do happen with the same player. On September 24 2025 09:39 chongu wrote: Jaedong. He doesn't use any hotkeys past 1 to 5. (jkjk) Jaedong keys 1-6 all at the starts of the game, and then only uses 1-6, rarely adds 7 for 1 unit that doesn't fit into the other groups. | ||

Does not compete in tournaments much like how Rich doesn't. If it isn't a pro protoss then I have no idea who it is. Just looks like Mini and Blade. Got more replays of this person to get a better idea of hotkey use over more games? | ||

People compare hotkey signatures between two replays or among a set of replays: one replay that is of unknown origin, and another replay or set of replays that indisputably originate from a particular pro. | ||

Another PvZ + Show Spoiler + PvP + Show Spoiler + PvT + Show Spoiler + Now this makes it a lot easier because now we can see this player does add 1 all the way at the start, and that the replay you posted originally was one of the few replays where there is a variation of hik not doing it. We can now also see this player DOES use hotkeys beyond 5, because the first replay was too short for this player to add more hotkeys. This looks a lot less like Blade, and way more like SnOw and Paralyze. That is why we use multiple replays and preferably replays that are 10+ minutes long. When I get to my PC I will check some references. correction: Still looks like Blade, but also SnOw, and Paralyze. At this point I would need to see the APM/EAPM to decide. With Protoss pros you get the most similar hotkey use. For some of them it becomes the hotkeys + the average apm/eapm distribution what determines the identity. If the apm/eapm (on scrchart) is like 340/240 it is most likely Paralyze. Blade tends to go 360/210, but occasionally peaks at higher eapms, and Snow 290/210 almost all the time. | ||
