I like having my reinforcing units moving towards wherever my army is headed, regardless of where it goes, but it also means I have to handle the creation of different units in sequence if they belong in a different hotkey or are drones or OLs. I'm concerned I may be handicapping myself by doing this instead of hotkeying the units after they hatch at my rally points. Is this detrimental to my army control or macro? This works better than waiting for the rally because it takes advantage of already having the units selected rather than having to pan over the rally point, I do this as well. It just makes it easier if you are already in a battle to have new units hotkeyed in the same action as making them, I'd say what you're doing is correct. | ||

 Im starting to switch from Zerg to Random. Now Im searching for a solid fastexpand build for every matchup (maybe not for PvP lolz). Just the name of the build would be enough, I will be able to look up the rest for myself Thanks in advance  | ||

Can someone give me some good builds for vT and vP? Also what times do you usually take your 2nd, 3rd and 4th gas as Terran? | ||

TvZ: Reactor hellion expand TvP: marauder expand I'm assuming you know zerg builds, and I'm at a loss for non ZvZ mirrors (I'm a zerg player) | ||

In general, you should create a multi-threading routine. 1) Check hatches 2) Check supply 3) Build (drones, attacking units, overlords) 4) More gas, less gas 5) More minerals, less minerals 6) Larva inject If you start saying *one, two, three, four, five, six* out loud it should help. | ||

If not, I really don't know. You might be able to find some sort of test software online that could tell you somehow. Most standard mouses have a DPI around 1200 or 1800. | ||

DPI of your mouse determines how accurate you can be with your mouse. Generally you have either optical or laser. Laser is better than optical, always. Direct answer to your question is don't worry about it, you can change sensitivity for any mouse to how you like it. If you buy a new mouse, make it a laser one because it is fundamentally better. | ||

Can someone explain to me why they do that and how I can maybe use it when playing games? Your question is kind of ambiguous (I don't know who 'they' is, the pros or the bronze?), but the reason the two do it differently is simply because the pros can play faster and have the skill and dexterity to handle multiple groups at once. If you're attaking 2 completely different places at one, it forces your opponent to respond perfectly and if he dosn't. whichever side he/she undercompensated for takes structual/economic damage. If the 2 groups are split but in the same battle, it is to avoid taking too much splash damage, or damage that hits multiple units at once (high templar's psy storm or a baneling's suicide attack). | ||
