At the start of every round robin round, if you start off playing a BW game, then you can't play BW the next match. So let's say JD plays against CJ the first week in BW. Next week he has to play SC2. For ace match, any of the six who played, BW or SC2, can play in it. | ||

You can't play the same game 2 times in a row, except for the ace match where anyone can play, that is all. That also means players can't skip playing a week just to play the same SC again the next time. JD played SC2 this week, if they want to field him in SC2 vs a specific team, they have to make him play BW at some point earlier. | ||

I do think more Zergs need to separate out their infestors. The select-individual-infestors-fungal-shiftclick-back isn't very complex; I'm actually surprised so many pros don't do this, but I guess that since SC2 is such a burst-damage-focused game, a lot of pros decide it's more important to prioritize other things, like simply making more units. | ||

There are quite a few examples of good Zergs who don't use many hotkeys: CoCa immediately comes to mind as someone who mainly uses point-and-drag to micro units, and I don't think I need to defend myself saying that CoCa is easily one of the best Zergs in the world.

The problem with not making groups and using hotkeys effectively is it leads to gross mistakes, most notable mass infestor suicide. JD is very careful with his casters, and the reason he can do this is because he groups units in separate hotkeys. CoCa might feel more comfortable using his units like that, but his control won't be optimal if he doesn't learn this, because he will necessarily make this type of mistake. That the game development isn't at multiple hotkey usage yet as a common thing is a different thing, I expect this to be standard in the future. | ||

Not using multiple hotkeys isn't necessarily a bad thing, but using multiple hotkeys (and one hotkey for everything) is definitely more efficient. Having to box everything every time is imprecise but also mechanically taxing and in some ways impressive (in a I'm-doing-it-the-hard-way kinda way). Another problem is a-moving infestors accidentally, and I hate seeing that. Sigh, even "mechanically superior" players like DRG let their infestors (or HT) die so needlessly when they are so easy to save. People have become so comfy with smart-casting that nobody does individual cast and shift-click back. It saves tons and tons of gas and production time. I want more people to do this. | ||

The thing is, even Kespa players don't use multiple hotkeys as much as they should. Even better Zergs like Soulkey. They've been playing with tiny control groups for years and somehow forget they have 1-0 to use for hotkeys once they start playing SC2. =/ | ||
