I know about the unload command where medivac stands still and unloads all the units. I know also about when medivac is flying and you can click on unit and it will be unloaded while medivac moving. But what about 5 or more overlords for example, how do players manage to unload all of them while moving? It looks like they are unloading simultaneously while moving? Am i missing something here? | ||

I don't think there's special way, those players are just fast with their mouse. | ||

Hold shift, press the hotkey for drop, and spam click on the dropships. | ||

I'm not sure if this is how pros do it, but as Zerg, you usually build your units in big batches as larva pop, so you can just include the number of Overlords in each batch of units that you'll need for the next batch. So every time you build four Roaches, just add one Overlord as well, and it will be ready by the time your next inject pops. Alternatively, just wait for that lady to say you need more Overlords, then build like 20 at once. | ||

You want to get an early economy advantage, so you want that nexus as quickly as possible (and still be safe). Yes, you cut a few probes, but once that nexus is up, you can double-train them, so it's still efficient. I guess you could build it a little bit later, but the 17 Nexus seems well tested.  | ||

Standard 9 pylon 13 forge 17 nexus 17 pylon to ckeep probe production (ie assume no threat) 25 probes, 2 pylons, one forge and 2 nexi with some extra chrono boost energy 920 minerals 0 gas My 9 pylon, 13 forge, 16 pylon, 20 Nexus 27 probes, 3 pylons, one forge, 2 nexi and no extra chrono boost energy 825 minerals 0 gas TOTAL DIFFERENCE = 2 probes vs some chrono energy I will be doing this all night... :L Im not saying my way is better but it seems more economical at the moment. The only thing is you have an excess of supply because of the 3rd pylon you end up at 27/44 whereas standard is 25/34 plus 100 minerals However that is not a bad thing really. | ||

If you want to do an extensive analysis of FFE Nexus timings, that's a great idea, but this isn't the place to do it. I'd organize all the information you gather in your tests and put together an OP to start its own thread. Keep in mind, though, that economy is not the only question to consider when choosing a Nexus timing. I suspect you'll find that the most economical Nexus is whichever one you can without ever interrupting Probe production, but you'll also generally be dead at 10 minutes doing that. | ||

Still if any FFE expert knows some magic reason for the building timings could they please PM me about it | ||

I'll fungal a group then try to spam infested terrans but I often end up just selecting the enemy unit when trying to cast them despite having my finger firmly down on button T. Is there a way to avoid this? Hold shift. It works for infestors (as opposed to sentries, and ghosts) because infestors have no attack. | ||

A lot of his "Steal this Build!" episodes show fantastic builds that I would love to copy, especially the ones involving mech, but cannot without hard build orders on paper. I need to extract the build order myself from the replay, as opposed to taking a guided tour lasting a few hours that hits more points than I'm looking for at that moment. Day9's analysis is fantastic, but sometimes I need specific information. I'm pretty sure Day[9] says during a daily where you can get the replay if it's publically available. Not all of them are; he gets some from players and teams. You could try asking in the Day[9].tv Daily thread, though. | ||
