If you give mothership 3/3/3 and BC 0/0, the mothership wins pretty easy. And for micro, you could fight until you lose shields, vortex, then flee and fight again when shields are recharged. Neither are realistic in-game scenarios at all and I think the question is kinda dumb to begin with but meh. | ||

(I just mean the numbers for certain buildings and units not individually making new hotkeys for every unit)? mostly preference IMO. but there may be an advantage is having hotkeys that are close to the keys that they use. like you shouldn't put your rax on 0, because you will be using the A and D keys 90% of the time. you should put CC close to the S key, so 0 is bad for that too. i use 0 for ebay/armory/techlab/ghost academy, because i won't have to use them too often, since 0 is far away from everything pretty much. most ppl use 1/2/3 for army, 4/5/6/7 for CC, rax, fact, and port, i think. i use 1 for CC, 2 for all production (tab through them), 3-6 or so for army, and 0 for upgrades. another thing is to put units in hotkeys that make sense. like against banelings, you'd want a key for marines (+ medis?) probably, since they are the things that have to run away, while marauders may want to hold their ground, and tanks need to siege up. against collosus, you'd want vikings on their own key to target fire. you can probably put MMM on one key bc they'll move together. ghosts should be on another. you'd want your tank hotkey to be close enough to E and D, MMM hotkey close to T, vikings can be anything really, i think. but whether you want tanks to be 2 or 3 or 4? i don't think it really matters. | ||

My guess is that he just doesn't like seeing empty hotkey numbers. It's also fun to do an keeps your hands busy in the early early game. I saw TLO do it at MLG by holding ctrl with his left hand and running the back of his right hand down the number keys like a piano glissando. Interestingly, I remember Jinro NOT doing that, specifically because he and I happen to use the same hotkey setup. | ||

The one I like to use is a 3 rax build: 10 Depot 12 Rax 13 Refinery 15 OC, 1 Marine 16 Supply Depot 17~ish refinery and tech lab _________ Number discontinued 2 Reapers to scout and kill workers, they arrive before the stalker assuming hes gone Zealot first. When you make the first reaper you should have enough money for a second rax. By the time both reapers are out you should afford a ghost academy, then based on what you scout you can expand or throw down another rax. | ||

Alright I tried it out and the mothership can indeed win with micro assuming absolutely zero micro from the BC. Realistic? No. Fun? Not really but eh.  And because I'm bored as all hell, I made a quick livestream recording that can be found here. | ||

Also be careful of movement shift FF commands as that slows down the time too. | ||

Ah, I see what you did - exploiting the move-while-shooting thing of the Mothership - I haven't used them in forever, I forgot they had that. My apologies then, you can win with the mothership if you kite, and the battlecruiser player is a bit - well - non-functional. | ||

Obviously the hard counter is going to be something like Phoenix/Chargelot/Immortal. Working in a few storms would do wonders as well. | ||
