EPTOh and ctrl+c was the one I was looking for because sometimes in replays Ill have a unit selected and I want to center on it so I believe ctrl+c would do that for me...

When i want to rally reinforcements i tend to click the hatch rally to my army but as result when i make drones or ovies they ofc do the same.Cannot change the waypoints of the eggs themselves either. Any tips to have some decent rally would be very helpful. | ||

Any tips to have some decent rally would be very helpful. There isn't much that can be done about this, you see progamers having drones mixed with army at their rally towards the end of the game all the time. The compromise imo is that early on your rally should be closer to your base (with exceptions for a single batch of units like Muta). Later on you can move it out farther as you are making fewer drones out of your old bases. Remember to use the F keys (f2 f3 f4) for screen locks on rally points. It's just a matter of speed imo ): I have to hotkey back to my hatch to stop the drones from running too far away haha. | ||

F keys on rally point sucks quite hard if you have 3+ bases lol) normaly you set your rally close (1.5 screen away max, or something you click on the minimap) it is just a matter of speed, sending and being on top of them when they (just) hatch(ed) | ||

Anyways, because I've seen tired players, I think that my best suggestions are smoke weed, eat a snack, drink a beer, smoke a cigarette, in that order.I drink and smoke between every game lol. But since you said none of that stuff... Have you tried watching replays? I feel like this might still be mentally taxing but you might be able to relax a little because you're not being stressed while watching it. Watch at x2, watch from the opponent perspective only, etc. - try different perspectives, take your time, then apply lessons learned ^^ Or maybe decreasing your spam, aiming to instead increase your EAPM? This might be mentally taxing but I feel like part of the problem is that when people get caught up in the speed and spam, they get too stressed out. Try to distance yourself from spam and think more about eapm, maybe your endurance will go up. Of course, you still have to take breaks. There is a half-time in football, a breather in between workouts, a cool down period after a mile run on the treadmill. BW needs breaks too! To optimize your breaks I suggest drink a glass of water and lay down on your bed for a few minutes, so that you are not in front of the computer all day. Think about something else ^^ | ||

I could play all day with no breaks but that might be just me. | ||

Don't say never because if I never stop scv production I end up with a small maxed army. hmm...Well, at least for me after looking through some replays I usually stop scv production after I start my 2-1 upgrade for around 55 scvs. This is usually enough for 8-9 factores. This is just me and even though I watch a lot of afreeca streams it doesn't really reflect my play. =/ | ||

In games where my eapm is like 180+ I'm usually doing more stuff and even faster etc. my screen is going everywhere in the map and I get pretty stressed after a few games like that. hmm...Well, at least for me after looking through some replays I usually stop scv production after I start my 2-1 upgrade for around 55 scvs. This is usually enough for 8-9 factores. This is just me and even though I watch a lot of afreeca streams it doesn't really reflect my play. =/ I decided that I want to stop around 80 scv's. This gives me room for 2 control groups of tanks, 2 control groups of vultures, 1 group of goliaths and vultures, and 2 science vessels. It's a lot of scv's but that helps me when I take a 4th and I also can build a lot of turrets if I want. I also don't think I can really handle more than 5 control groups of mech army. Maybe if I go for a map split strat though I would make less scv. | ||

However, there are some really good players who posted FPVOD threads who you would probably benefit from by watching, such as Oystein. Why watch only progamers when you can also watch high-level foreigners too? Probably more user-friendly (English text maybe), probably easier to follow, and still high-level. Here is the search I did: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=fpvod&t=t&f=6&u=&gb=date&d= Search function is powerful ;D | ||
