2) Yes. You move the camera to a spot on the map, and then press Control-F5. Now, if you press F5, the camera will move to the location that it was at when you pressed Control-F5.


Does it only work with f5? cuz I tried with f1 once and it didn't work.


You have to remap it in the hotkey section in options. By default it is f5 through I think f8. I changed mine to f1-f5.
I also changed it from ctrl to set the location hotkey to shift, because its easier for me to hit.

In ZvP, when a Protoss takes all four gasses by 6:30 mark, what are the builds he can be doing?

Hi guys

Just a general question, do you guys normally automatically save all replays? I know there is an option to "save each replay", but I dont tick it. What I do is pick the ones I want to save and do it manually.

What about you? I would love to hear. Maybe its better to save every single replay? For educational purpose maybe?

I save all of mine because I use sc2gears to keep track of stuff like winrates vs each race and on each map. You can only do that sort of analysis if you keep all your replays.


Thanks AmericanUmlaut.

So, do you think I should use sc2gears? Lots of people I know use it, but ...is it really worth it? What does it do other than analyzing replays? And also, if I use sc2gears it will auotmatically save all replays , so I dont have to tick the "save all replays" by battlenet right?

There's a little more to Sc2gears than just analyzing replays:

There are a lot of builds he can be doing with all 4 gaz by 6:30, but you can generally assume a tech heavy build in and or around those ideas

- 2 base collosus push
- double SG play
- DT into third
-etc

Basically the 4 gases indicate that you would normally be safe from any 8:00 8:30 pushes and you can get on lair tech without fear. You will have to scout after that in order to know he's doing. Changeling + OS fly-by are your best friend in order to spot tech. Also keeping a ling at the 3rd to get an actual timing of when the 3rd is down is a good idea. If there is no 3rd by 9:30 alarms bell should indicate WARNING status. If there is no 3rd by 10:00-10:30 either your opponent is bad or you have an 2 base all-in comming your way.

Thank you again Maxamix

Have another question. Always as a Protoss.

Against a mass roach, what is the best answer ?

Stalker + immo or Staler + Collossus ?

i'd go with sentry immortals with a splash of stalkers if you have good forcefields you can basically WRECK a mass roach army, Just make sure to have 1 obs in case he tries some burrow funky things. You only need about 8 sentries, with max energy that's 32 FF that's way more than you'l;l ever need to tear through a roach army. Later in the game add some HT/archon in there and you will me all set VS mass roach.

Because on most cases ov TvZ you want a reactor on your starport to produce either vickings or medivacs, as both those units does not requires a tech lab. Also, a raven can be shot down by either infestor, hydras, queens and or mutas and it is very costy. 200 gaz is a heavy investment in the mid game and with that tech lab requirement it is even worst. Also scans are not wasted if they take our creep tumor because it actually reduce the map vision for the zerg player, something all zergs need to have to prepare and react ahead of times when a push is comming.

Also by the time you could have raven out on the field, you should know their tech route by looking at their army composition and stuff like that. I have yet to see a scan being a major factor into knowing if the Z went ultras or broods...

In sc2 gears, the program saves the replay, and sc2 saves the replay. So for multi-rep analysis, each game is counted twice. Is there a way to deal with this?

Don't open sc2gears and the game won't be saved in your sc2gears folder. Alternatively, you can just leave sc2gears on and not auto-save replays to your sc2 folder.

I think you can set the multi replay analysis to search only in the SC2gears saved folders (assuming your replays are at different locations)

Is it better to leave the tooltip options 'Display Game/World Object Tooltips' in gameplay options enabled for their information? Or are they supposed to be distracting visual elements? Most pros seem to have them enabled for some reason.

Is the pinky the strongest finger or is this a myth? This question was brought up in a discussion about optimal hotkey layouts with the creator of 'darkgrid' and 'the core'. To rephrase the question... If you were creating an optimized hotkey layout would you bind more keys or fewer keys to the pinky and is your answer based on any science?

I set up in my mouse a side button where it does more than just 1 action by clicking it. Is that illegal in Lan tournaments or illegal by Blizzard standards? I did use the program of mouse, but if i were playing in offline tournament the mouse would just "tape" the command without any problem, so i wouldn`t need to set up again.

This is illegal in all tournaments and by blizzard standards. You may even get banned for using it on ladder as blizzard runs software to try and catch these sorts of things. The general rule is that you can only have 1 action be performed per button press. Any more and it is considered cheating.

This is completely legal by blizzard and tournament standards. The general rule is that 1 button press causing 1 action is okay. Anything that allows 1 button press to execute 2 or more actions is illegal.

Read the post you're answering again, Alacar. He specifically says he's binding a button so that it does more than just one action when it is clicked. That's against the rules of every tournament I've ever heard of.

I used to do some rock climbing, and I'd say the middle finger is the strongest, followed by the index. Pinky is the weakest.
If you're looking for an optimized keyboard layout, check out Thecore. It's backed by research, if not actual science.

What are general micro tricks when engaging the Protoss army as a Terran? Of course there's stutter stepping, and I have been putting marauders in front of the marines to tank damage. But for example, should I micro back the line of troops getting hit by the colos or would the temporary loss of DPS not be worth it? Or also, what should be targetted down first in the P army?

Hope this question is not convoluted, I can edit if necessary.
