My question is: Is there a way to deselect a type of units without manually shift clicking on each unit of that type selected? For example: I selected 20 larvae and made 10 muta eggs, is there a way for me to quickly deselect the 10 larvae and quickly set my eggs into a control group? | ||

To select all of one unit type in a control group hold control and click the portrait of one of the desired unit. to deselect, hold shift and control and click desired unit. Take note that this will not differentiate between eggs, so you can't just control click muta eggs and expect them to not select zergling eggs for instance. | ||

I'm guessing that real-time would give me a more accurate representation of my APM, but if I set it to convert it to real-time, my APM increases by about 25 and I don't understand that :/ ... Real minutes are longer than in-game minutes, so naturally your APM goes up using real minutes. | ||

only thing i can think of is that it has something to do with someone pausing the game before leaving (heard of that before) or if the games is still going on? (it's been days) | ||

I haven;t played sc2 in over 5 months and I haven`t been folowing tournaments or streams, I`ve mostly been playing BW and Lol, I need some good builds to get back into things and any warnings about what could be happening in game. This is not a simple question. Go look at liquipedia or the strategy forum in general. | ||

I had three bases plus a macro hatch, about 50 drones, a few spines near the ramp, and a roach/ling army that was larger than my opponent's army. It seemed like a decent position to be in, but I just got shredded with blink micro. Part of the problem may have been that I tried to run around and engage on the low ground - should I just camp on the high ground and defend while trying to get infestors out? If this isn't a simple question let me know and I can post a replay. | ||

9 pylon 13 forge 17 nexus 17 cannon 17 gateway Where do I squeeze in a 2nd pylon so I don't get supply blocked? Because if I'm cutting probes to throw up a nexus and 2 buildings by 17, I'd like to resume probe production as soon as possible (since this is an economic build), but I can't do that without getting immediately supply blocked at 18. Do people usually continue to cut probes until they have 100 minerals for the 2nd pylon? Or is there something I'm missing here? | ||

Do people usually continue to cut probes until they have 100 minerals for the 2nd pylon? Or is there something I'm missing here? The FFE variation I'm doing right now is from Genius v DRG on Bel'Shir Beach from Group F of the current GSL's RO32: 14 Forge @2:10 17 Nexus @3:03 17 Cannon 17 Pylon 17 Gateway 18 Assimilator x 2 So you cut Probes until you get the GW up, and squeeze the Pylon inbetween there. As with all FFE builds, you can rearrange the timings of the buildings depending on what you scout, so if you scout a Pool timing that makes it safe, you can delay the cannon and get the pylon faster to get a couple extra Probes. | ||

Also, units can enter and exit a 3-depot ramp more quickly than a depot-rax-depot wall, since you can lower all three elements of the wall easily and walk over it. | ||

The question i have is this: I need some macro milestones in tvz and tvp matchups to realise if i am getting any better or not. For instance, i've lost a game against zerg because of bad army micro and lack of upgrades. But in the end i attacked at 182 supply while the zerg was 196 supply. Does that mean that my macro was on par with him and good enough for that match ? Again, micro aside (which i don't care much for atm), and forgetting upgrades (only had 1-1 on infantry, and i am working on that). I was 3 bases against 4 (then i lost one to a counterattack). Also, in tvp, should i generally be ahead in bases/supply or anything related to asses my macro while watching replays works. Thank you. | ||

What do I have to press to get it out of that mode? Is probably alt+shift to solve the problem, altshift until its english, then go to control panel>clock/language/regions>change display language> click the keyboards and languages tab>click change keyboard>advanced key settings tab>select "between input languages"> click change key sequence>make them all unassigned. good luck and you should turn off sticky keys | ||
