Hey guys, my question is: I watch OgsForGG stream a lot and I notice he has his CC's on 9 and 0 whereas most people have them both on one hotkey. Does he rebind his 9 and 0 or does he really reach that far. I'm thinking about switching it up because it's really nice to be able to see how long you have until the scv finishes rather than just the little white dots telling you how many you have queued up. Thanks!

Can't be sure unless he answers himself but forGG is an ex bw-pro meaning odds are he still has the habit of putting his cc on 890.

There are many methods but most people hotkey their queens like you seem to do.

The fastest is probably the backspace shift+v method, but once you get more hatcheries than queens it stops working well.

Here's how you do it (from liquipedia):
Assign all Queens to one hotkey
Hit the hotkey for all Queens
Hit V
While holding down (right-side) shift alternate between:

Hit Backspace to center your next base on the screen.
Click center of screen.

So I was reading this this thread on how to improve efficiently in 1v1 and it says to begin by picking only one build for each machup, ones that are good for learning how to play. For terran, which would be the best builds to start with for TvT, TvP and TvZ?

I use custom hotkeys. The thing is backspace is on the other side of the keyboard. I would suggest making a profile for zerg where spacebar is your basecam. Don't forget about your mouse because it might be a good idea to use inject on mouse 4 and 5 buttons.

Hi there - Ive been watching Polt stream and off a 1 rax FE in TvT he goes 2 gas, techlab, stim, 2 rax reactor, fact (reactor) starport (switch with fact reactor) and push out with marines while rallying the medivacs to the army. Once combat shield finishes and he adds 1 fact where the first one goes on the rax techlab and the other one builds its own techlab. It all lines up perfectly (ofc). I think an eng bay and +1 attack is in there somewhere too. In all it gives a nice marine push while gearing up for double factory tanks right after.

Now, the actual question: The Idea is somewhat identical to Thorzains 1 rax fe but that build goes for a reactor on the first rax. So - which one is "better"? I can imagine that Polts variant frees up the techlab earlier for double factory tanks but searching the forums indicates that people really likes Thorzains build better (its more popular anyway).

You should always have at least 1 sentry with energy for a FF, it is better to warp stalkers, but zealots and sentries is better then pure stalkers if he has more gates and you have a robo.

Personally, I consider Squirtle the best protoss in any matchup.

PvZ: MC, Hero
PvP: Squirtle, Oz, Huk are all considered fairly good at this matchup, Squirtle especially.
PvT: Parting and Creator specialize here.
Squirtle is considered just generally very good and MC as well except his PvT has recently fallen off.

In TvP if i open standard textbook 1 rax expo into 3 rax stim and medivacs

and the toss has made phoenix, whats the response?

If I just proceed as normal, and do that stim 4 medivac timing I lose because you can't attack right up the ramp into his army and you also can't fly around his army to drop because the phoenix snipe the drop ship.

Thanks!

Your medivacs provides vision of the highground, you can kill anything that gets close to the edge by just standing there. Once his stuff has backed off enough, elevator up using your medivacs while your 50 or so marines makes sure his phoenixes doesn't get close.

Couple questions actually.

Firstly, what's the best way to get mutas to shoot workers when you're harassing? Neither hold position nor attack move seem to avoid hitting things like gas geysers or command centers/hatcheries.

Secondly. What's a good muta count for ZvT? I've learned not to go too crazy on the mutas in ZvZ and use them simply to deny your opponent's third, so I generally limit myself to 12 or so. However, in ZvT I see lots of pros getting massive flocks of mutas (allowing them to directly take on missile turrets, etc.) but then losing to a straight-up attack from the Terran, since mutas are bad in direct combat. What's a good indicator of when to stop building mutas and use the gas on infestors/tech?
