YAGTK MSL was a bo7 just try and watch it lol don't forget that OSL and MSL are broadcast on tv, there's time considerations, whereas GSL is internet only, so how long it takes doesn't really matter | ||

I know having F2 for your main and F3 natural makes reacting easier, but I don't know how to adjust my hotkeys to accomodate it... Any suggestions? | ||

I feel really comfortable with F3 as my gateway spot and F4 as my rally location.

All I can suggest is changing your setup to F2 for main and F3 for natural and just practice using it for making probes in each nexus/telling probes to mine, you can then use it for transfer when your natural is complete and maynarding probes away when a drop comes in, I made this change a couple of years ago and it helped me a lot, you just need to get used to doing it. | ||

Do any of them make anywhere near enough money through streaming in order to cover costs of living? Or are they all just living with their parents or something? As far as I know, the popular ones make enough money of balloons (donations given via Afreeca) to survive, maybe even doing quite well off it for all I know. | ||

Do you guys combine groups in the middle of a fight? Well I play terran and protoss (TvP, TvZ and PvT) and I combine control groups when I had 2 separate groups that lost enough units to warrant becoming one group, I keep like units together so I'll have vultures or goon + obs on 1 and 2 and tanks or zealots on 3 and 4, so if I lose say 6 vults from ctrl group 1 and 6 from 2 I would ctrl-click them and make them all ctrl group 2, I would generally wait until the battle is over but you can do it during because it's so quick to do. I favour groups 2 and 3 over 1 and 4 so I will fill those groups up first in cases where there are more than 12 of a unit but not enough for two full groups. Don't really know how this applies to zerg or what your hotkey setup is but it's what I do. On April 20 2013 15:57 ikan wrote: is iccup down? i cant connect Works fine for me. | ||
