EPTI want it to be. I can't reach both Ctrl + 4,5,6, etc.. with one hand.
How can I change root key 'ctrl' to be 'Tab' (much easier for one hand to bind on the fly): 'Tab + 4, 5, 6, etc...'

Either a programmable keyboard or using software for the operating system, like AutoHotKeys, for example. This is entirely different than "macros" and perfectly legal as far as Blizzard is concerned. As for my own question, it's just kind of a thought I had last night, although I've never tried it. Is there any benefit for a Zerg player to NOT have farther away expansions included in their hotkeys for production. It's just an idea I had that would be one way to prevent the units streaming in from all over the place when trying to defend, which often simply die on their rally. Without those hatches hotkeyed, only the "main" 3 or 4 hatches would have unit production. This style would basically mean they are only used for income, but how many times have units created to defend been spawned from absolutely the wrong place ? Obviously another way to handle this is to use camera locations, and select the hatches from which you want to make production, but not everybody would do that. So, as an idea, is there any merit to it ? | ||

So, as an idea, is there any merit to it ? I only offrace as Zerg, but with the other races I usually use the 7-0 control groups for macro, so for Zerg I put all my main hatches on 0, my queens all on 9 for rapid injects, and then all other hatches that I don't want on the main rally point for whatever reason on control group 8. Works pretty well, as long as you don't accidentally add a hatch to both control groups. But that's always the best way I've found for managing proxy and other far-away hatches. | ||

I suppose this is caused by the scv being momentarily out of range as its moving through the building, but that seems like not intended. So, what is the best way to make sure you're attacking and killing the scv? Select your units, hold shift and spam right click on the scv. | ||

A day ago in a ZvT i got hammered, and have the following questions. 1. If T blocks my expo and third with an engineering bay (half built) What is my best course of action? 2. He dropped Widow mines in my bases, they take one shot, then he picks them up again and he drops them in the next base, What is my best course of action? | ||

I'm master Terran. 1)You have some options depending on his follow up. First of all, you should have spotting on natural with ovie so you see the ebay going up asap. Then start gas, queen, and 4 lings to kill it. If you want to take it to a long game, take your third base location. If he's being greedy behind it (making reapers or not making helions), you can all in him with speedling/bane. You shouldn't allow him to play greedy behind the e-bay block because it is a big investment so if he doesn't follow up with army units and goes into eco, you SHOULD kill him. 2) There are many options here. The biggest thing which will help you is 1. having vision and 2. being map aware. Those widow mines won't do any damage if you have zerglings kill them before they deploy. A few things which might help. 1.target medivac with queens always. 2. spore crawlers at each base so medi can't hover over the mineral line. 3. mutas. 4. creep spread. | ||

Just recently I read that the vertical spawn locations are disabled for the new 4 player map that's joining the map pool in season 3. Is this the same for any other maps? | ||

I don't know about the new maps being added, but  Ladder Maps will have a note accompanying any maps in the ladder pool if they have spawns disabled (like in the WoL maps on that page). Currently there aren't any.  | ||

Thanks in advance <3 Do you mean CC first on the lowground? it more or less flat out dies to any early pool. Some zergs like going eco 10 pool in ZvT especially on 4 player maps for this exact reason. It's not extremely common, but it does happen just enough to where it's a bit risky. My question: When i build an extractor or any other building (as Zerg) the queued building shows up with the feint green silhouette as it did in WoL.... When ever I watch other people stream it is a pretty solid purple color silhouette. Does anyone know why I have the green thin ones? I have gone through my settings and can't find any particular reason why it should be that way.. Thanks. edit: found it out. "Models" under the graphics settings have to be set to high instead of low. | ||

I'm sure it's just a matter of time, but I keep hitting refresh and no one is changing it lol. I put this here because obviously it doesn't deserve it's own thread. | ||

Ive seen alot of gasheavy units being over produced in WCS and DH. Bunny in DH had above 15 ravens + vikings but allmost no dps in his game against a maxed out zerg and lost. Also i saw several zergs loose a part of there army and then make 8 ultralisks. There armies were ultraheavy and lost too (i.e. jeadong in DH).... I find that 8 ultralisks or more in an engagement will mostly walk in eachothers way and too many ravens means u dont have enough dps against a maxed opponent. ive seen solid wins where the terran never had more ravens then 8 and zerg less then 8 ultra's. Am i right here that gasheavy units should not be overproduced and balance in composition is more important? If not, why do they choose to overproduce certain gasheavy units that leads to defeat most of the time? (if not mined out) | ||

(if not mined out) It depends on your opponents unit composition and his ability to remax to change his composition. If he's massing brood lords, you could potentially want 15-20 ravens. Ultras are different because they are large melee units. Therefore, you only want enough ultras so they can all engage on the enemy and not be bottle necked. | ||

Zerg Queen question 2: At what point is it reasonable to take queens off injection duty to accompany an army for transfuses? Only when you are confident you have a win in the bag or have a huge surplus of larvae? | ||

I notice masters and above replays often don't pair queens with their late game expansions, is it because larvae are no longer a big concern when making late game units like Ultras? Zerg Queen question 2: At what point is it reasonable to take queens off injection duty to accompany an army for transfuses? Only when you are confident you have a win in the bag or have a huge surplus of larvae? I feel like once you have around 3-4 bases running and have been ontop of your injections throughout the game you don't need queens on any extra hatches, plus the creep spread/excess energy on the previous queens by this stage of the game can easily be used to inject late game. i feel it's a combination of both, or when you have big beefy units that you want to keep alive. | ||

I have no real clue how to micro my mutas, especially late game ZvZ. I've tried adding corruptors and infestors to strenghten my muta ball but somehow I am often the one ending up losing muta vs muta battles. Any thoughts or help would be appricated. Cheers~ | ||
