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. | ||

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: Sc2gears Features Sc2gears Screenshots | ||

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. | ||

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... Edit : Typos | ||

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) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=341878 | ||
