Best response is a full wall of course, but if you didn't wall completely, barracks/supply depot walls everywhere if you get gas stolen, a second barracks probably is in order | ||

Get factory up to make vulture. Either the zealots kill you or you get enough units to counter and kill the central pylon. Vultures can also be used to runby and kill all their probes. | ||

But i ll agree i wasn't sure how to phrase it, so i ll try: I meant more where you"return to" once you ve done whatever action. For instance if you use 1234 most of your motion would be sideways to the other numbers, or down. Then you come back to hovering above 1234. You d probably use your thumb more as well. Whereas if you re asdf you move your fingers more up and your wrist is "lower" towards you. You d use your thumb less. Personally my pinky is mostly for ctrl and shift, not really A or 1 (ring for both) so i m more wasd (wad and ctrl/shift to be more correct) and 1234 feels unnatural as a result, i d probably need to tilt my keyboard a bit. | ||

But how many here NEVER have to look at their keyboard for a full game? I've never been good at not looking at the keyboard so for me it's frequent and I mess up my hand placement a lot as a result | ||

but after that I spend a lot of time doing 1234 while boosting (since there are multiple drones to boost, overlord needs to be selected to move larvae) so it can also count as a "default" On April 24 2026 09:31 TonDan04 wrote: i think if your muscle memory is 100% it doesn't matter where your finger place ment is as long as your fingers correctly presses the key you need to hit at the right time. But how many here NEVER have to look at their keyboard for a full game? I've never been good at not looking at the keyboard so for me it's frequent and I mess up my hand placement a lot as a result I don't think I've ever looked at the keyboard unless I tried to alt qq and alt tabbed instead | ||

Say they spawn at 11 o'clock, take their natural, then will go down to expand at 7 o'clock. Similarly, if they spawn at 1 o'clock, their third will be at 5 o'clock. For simplicity, let's assume moreso in ZvT or PvT, as Zerg and Protoss, respectively in these match-ups, will often expand more aggressively across the map, as opposed to the nearby ramp-protected single bases (3, 6, 9, 12 o'clock). Illustration for reference: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/poe25Sm.jpeg) Why do players rarely expand horizontally? If they've spawned at 11 o'clock, why not take the 1 o'clock instead? Is it easier for mouse movement vertically than horizontally? Or something more strategy/tactic related? Is the travel distance shorter, even if on a square 128x128 map? Noticed this over the years, but didn't understand why. Tried some Google and TL searches, but no hits... Any input appreciated! | ||
