So when should I build it, 2 or 3 probes etc. thx Depends on your pool timing and how fast you want speed. 14 gas 14 pool won't give you the fastest speed, but it'll give you a relatively fast speed with exactly 250/100 as the pool finishes; enough to start queen and speed simultaneously, and the mineral income to start two pairs of lings and drop a hatch very soon afterwards. Anything before 14 pool and the queen/ling timing after speed comes out a little clunky, though faster. | ||

Problem is that I really can't stand using the F keys (F2/F3/F4/etc). It just feels to uncomfortable for me. I use the Standard hotkey layout, so I'm wondering if anyone who also uses the standard layout figured out a nice system where you can comfortably use camera hotkeys while keeping your hand in the WASD area of your keyboard. I play Protoss, if that matters. I'm Z and using the F keys for cam hotkeys, only for my hatches though. Default I think is F5, F6... but that felt too far away for me, so I rebound them to F1-F5, and more cam hotkeys like that I dont really need. It feeling uncomfortable is just normal, nothing feels good in the start. Just bear with it at first, you'll lose some games but after a while it will feel as natural as making probes.  | ||

That's one way to go about that - but I personally prefer to change hotkeys to get it better. You could try to set them up to the right - so something like F G V B keys. It's more comfortable for the hand to travel there instead up to the F-keys, at least for me. Just check if you un-bind anything by doing that, and map the unbound keys to something else. The idea here is to make small changes like that to make it more comfortable for you - instead of changing the whole setup, if you don't want to do that. | ||

What this does is make all medivacs and all the units not in the medivac follow the medivacs with units in. ty I believe the simplest solution is to hit stop command. So you select units, load the medivacs, hit stop command, select medivacs only and send them. | ||

If you only have 1 bunker and the four gate is on you, you're pretty dead regardless. You need at the VERY minimum 2, but that means you need almost perfect reaction time to repair. 3 is usually safe. They're not going to run by if you have more than one bunker, if they do they take wayyy too much damage. | ||

They'll load up inside and the rest will GTFO. | ||

Take the one you like most... Seriously If you played single before Multiplayer probably the Terran would be the most comfortable for you. | ||
