I understand how this works early/mid game, but late game its kinda hard considering the amount of units that you have to hotkey, especially tvp and tvz. I end up using one hotkey to go to rax/factory, and manually click all of them. I even know a few people who dont hotkey their units period ...

Oh wait, another thing, are you supposed to do this very quickly? like as fast as possible, or do we want to imitate the game speed?

Um, methinks you imitate the game speed, like:

Each "0p" is a probe. So, your hotkey pattern should correlate with your build order. Like in the original post, "0p0p0p0pbp0p0p", it's 5 probe, 6, 7, 8, build pylon, 9, then queued 10th probe.

So, you just remember that and try memorizing it and you won't even have to think of your hotkeys anymore. Think of it like walking. Do you really think about walking? No, you just move your legs and you're accustomed to walking since you've done it for so long, you don't have to think about it. Now, with this hotkey pattern, you do it so many times it becomes natural and you won't ever miss your BO(I hate forgetting that 15pylon in PvT...) and you won't really have to think about it.

I'm guessing what koreans spam all the time is their hotkey pattern at the beginning of the game, whereas with foreigners it's just random hotkeys, sometimes even taking it to the extreme and hotkeying their main building from 1-0 and just hitting each key(rofl).

What about setting the hotkeys? And doesn't it take longer to hotkey your core then to just click on it?

I'll have to try this for a day or two, probably lose quite a bit of games to some noobers, but hopefully I can improve with a few hours.

i tried it now a bit(i must admit im kinda sleepy after work and gym) and i visualized a TvP game; i made a few scvs, a supply, a barax, refinery, factory and a tank and mine upgrade. I cant go any further coz then the game depends on the intelligence i get from my scouting scv.

I have no idea how this is gonna help me tho. I will Press B S faster? i will the keys i pressed a milion times a milisecond faster? its not like im learing 50keypress combos.
man, please say something else than "trust me its gonna make SC ez".


exactly my thoughts...
i mean.. i could build every building and do every upgrade very quickly just fine and naturally without having to thnik what fingers im gonna use.... i dont forget scvs, buildings, or anything cuz its all part of the early game routine...

so whats this supposed to do to help really?

+1

Is it really so hard to learn your BO (through practice) so that you need to use this ...strange... method?

Also, I "spam" a lot during first couple of minutes, because it sets my speed for the rest of the game and warms up my mouse holding hand for more accurate clicks, so this method doesn't apply to me.

This is a bit like when actors recite their lines with a pencil between their teeth.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.
