They put 2 workers on closest mineral patches first (closest to Nexus/Hatch/CC) which gives slightly better income 2. They don't if they play on maps with close positions disabled 3. It depends, usualy you transfer 50% of the workers from mineral line, but sometimes it's better to transfer just enaugh to not be oversaturated and rally all worker production to new mineral line, which will make your economy more smooth (even tho it's same income) | ||

I am #1 diamond zerg but probably around silver level terran and protoss. I'm just like you (rank 1 diamond playing Master's) Generally, it's good to know your enemy races well, but it's not essential to play and learn how to play them. Learning to do so will give you a better idea of their capabilities, their timings, etc. | ||

What with cheaters, morons, and kids, I'd rather filter down the people I actually play. | ||

What with cheaters, morons, and kids, I'd rather filter down the people I actually play. Unfortunately no. You can only block their communication, and if playing a custom, just disconnect before the game starts. | ||

What with cheaters, morons, and kids, I'd rather filter down the people I actually play. Unfortunately not. Best you can do is block communication from them and pretend they're just the AI. (Not to mention this kind of functionality could be abused by people who want to avoid people that have their number.) EDIT: lol geiko. I thought I double posted because our responses started out the same... ^_^ | ||

No prob! (Didn't know that until I tried just now.) On May 31 2011 05:49 Grandpipe wrote: Can i choose which unit is the primary focus on the hotkey? eg. If i have marines, marauders and a raven on control group 1. When i press 1 the raven spells are always displayed and i have to tab to use stim. Is there a way to hotkey the group so that when i press 1, the MM (and stim) are displayed first? Thanks Currently, no. See http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=215308. | ||

I have around 25 marines. I've seen awful YouTube videos of people 'showing off' their splits and end up having 0 dps, resulting in the marines dying in a situation where the marines can win. | ||
