I don't have time to read the whole thing right now, but tomorrow I will try to read it all haha.

I love things like this that you can find on a lot of forums that are just really about helping you get better at a certain game; I remember seeing these in DotA and W3 all the time on forums. Thanks man, people like you really make forums a helpful place instead of straight up trolls-trolling-trolls Yahoo Answers Style.

Here's a question I've actually been wondering for a while.

How do you deal with the fact that the same situation comes up during ladder play so infrequently? For example, if I face a particular Terran build, lose to it, and have some ideas for how to beat it, unless I can find a practise partner good enough at Terran to replicate the build decently (not always possible) my chances of being able to replicate the game to try different things are pretty difficult.

For you I imagine this is quite simple having the team access that you do, but what do you recommend for those who don't have this option?

Practice partner thread is I feel your best answer. Back when I wasn't on a team I'd go there and add like 15 people at a time, then msg all the ones online for practice games.

I want to personally thank you for making a wonderful guide. This reeks of that broodwar mentality where everyone is bad and everyone can improve. This was the feeling I was hoping to get when starcraft 2 came out and was kind of disappointed it didn't seem to be there anymore.

thank you so much kind sir.

Existed far before BW but it's true.

I never heard of overpowered or cheese (maybe once) or allins as words instead of strategic discussion until I started playing Starcraft 2. My other RTS experience (Total Annihilation, Age of Empires II & exp) had none of this in clans etc.

So how do I setup my screen hotkeys if I disable mouse scrolling? Or how do I make any kind of adjustments, if my screen only shows half of the fight?
You can reach the rainbow. I'll be there to help.

They are when the mouse stands still.

How do you feel about grid hotkeys vs. standard? Maybe you want to add something discussing customized hotkeys.
dont ever say that

It's great to see highly skilled players sharing some knowledge with those who aren't as good. Good job writing this guide, and big thanks!

It was also set out and organized really well.

Confirmation? How about when the Non-Disclosure Agreement is lifted from Beta I start streaming gameplay of the new game while I'm at work?


That would be excellent!! Thank you so much, you're very kind!

This seems really archaic, you totally ignore the idle worker hotkey, the base cam hotkey, the event hotkey(spacebar) and the unit selection modifiers(ctrl, shift) that allow very efficient manipulation/making of a unit selection.
