German players at WCG are a far, far cry from Korean pros. Whenever the word "pro" is used in relation to BW, it's assumed to mean Korean progamers, not high level foreigners. | ||

Again, no professional BW players use modified hotkeys. You might be referring to professional players of other games and if that's the case, then I repeat that what other games do is irrelevant. Each game must decide its own set of rules. There cannot be a set of rules that governs every game. WCG is an amateur event. I don't understand why you're telling me what you personally do. If you're the only person you care about, and you're a casual player, then what do you care about the rules of competitions? If you're not the only person you care about, then why do you bother saying what you personally do? If you're only doing it for your own comfort, why do you care that competitive players disprove of it? You will forever have the disapproval of the competitive BW community. | ||

Why do I care? I can't understand why are you asking this...This is supposed to be a forum, and we're supposed to talk. Why do you care about sport news or celebrity news? Though you're still watching them. | ||

You know that you are discussing with one of the top foreign protosses?And credits to nony for manners. When I read the first long reply by zergpowerrr i was sure there would a page or two of flame and drama. Such disappointment... Anyways, this is why NonY didnt win the asshole thread. Ontopic I consider hotkey modifications cheating. It is not built in the game, and any extra help should not be allowed, unless both players agree otherwise. | ||

I didn't say I'm new to RTS. I played some high level war3 matches before. Ever heard of netiquette? Well, stop teasing me now! | ||

I hate being left handed most of the time. As for a mouse, it's impossible to find a left handed mouse, so I just go with an ambidextrous one. Right now I'm using a razer copperhead, and an eMachines keyboard. I also need a huuuuuuge mousepad to play. Mine is about the size of when you hold two pieces of paper together. | ||

My friend playing with one hand and about 40 apm made it to the final round by mass battlecruisers every game, until the Koreans smashed his face into the ground. That made me feel a little better, but not really. Somebody should tell those chobos that FFA isn't a real game mode, and to get Brood War for chissakes. oh yes, and my mouse and mousepad Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0. I had an old one from my friend's Alienware (he bough a G5) and I liked it so much I bought another. It's very fine accuracy and fits comfortably into my admittedly big hands. The best part about it is the stiffness of the scroll wheel. Usually I find them too loose, and using it to change weapons doesn't work because i always scroll too much. This one I know exactly how many clicks I'm getting. And while I'm at it, I use the Steelpad G5. This pad is lovely! it's smooth as ice, but when I depress gently, it grips the mouse harder and I can use it for minute accuracy. It's also gigantic. That suited me better in my Counter-Strike days when the wide berth meant I could do a 360 degree turn without lifting my mouse. For Starcraft, the size is a little bit unnecessary, since I use hotkeys and the minimap to go distances instead of mouse scrolling. | ||
